Fans conflicted over how Kim Kardashian chose to dress 4-year-old Chicago in bodysuit and corset for D&G show
MILAN, ITALY: Kim Kardashian's family turned up for support when her Dolce & Gabbana collection was displayed during Milan Fashion Week. What's more they were dressed in stunning coordinated ensembles. The Kardashian-Jenner family was represented in the audience by mother Kris Jenner, sister Khloe Kardashian, and Kris' boyfriend Corey Gamble. North, 9, Saint, 6, and Chicago, 4, were three of Kim's children who also attended the event.
The entire family was dressed in similar black, white, and silver attire, all decked out from head to toe in Dolce & Gabbana clothing. In one video, Kim's three kids—who she shares with her ex-Kanye West, 45—appeared alongside her mother Kris, 66, and sister Khloe, 38. The youngest child's outfit, Chicago, elicited conflicting emotions from the audience and ended up causing quite a bit of fuss.

Chicago donned a black bodysuit that resembled Khloe's dress and had a front corset-like design made of rhinestones. Many fans expressed their displeasure regarding Chicago's attire being too chic for a little child.
One fan commented, "Children should not be dressing like this! Let them be children. Not pawns for your brand nor should they act like 25yr olds when they are barely 10yrs old and much younger!" and another fan added, "Children with adult life... regrettable!" A third fan harshly deemed it child abuse, commenting, "How is this not child abuse again?"
One user posted a similar video on TikTok with a focus on Chicago, and there were several who shared the same opinions. One person wrote, "Stupid outfits for kids give me a f*****g break," and another fan added, "Kim needs to find another costume." This another fan commented, "Someone teach these kids good moral and behavior instead."
"What in the hell are little kids doing at a fashion show..? Oh wait mom & grandma exposing the kids.. it's what they do best!!" one fan on Twitter wrote. Chicago's outfit did, however, garner some compliments, with one fan commentating, "I feel like Chii is the next supermodel. All of their kids are gorgeous, but she has a rare beauty at a young age very “doll” like I’ve seen others say before."
Critics had previously slammed Kim for being "selfish" in bringing her children to the fashion event. Fans thought Kim's children didn't appear overjoyed to be there, despite the fact that they had some amazing fashion moments. One fan wrote, "Why r those kids there! They don’t enjoy it! Clearly bored and teaching North to have a permanent scowl on her face! Does the kid smile!!"
Another fan addded, "The kids look exhausted and bored as hell. Why put them through their agenda. North always looks miserable like her father." Kim has been showcasing several styles throughout town and has been the focus of attention for Dolce & Gabbana in recent weeks. Kim wrote a lengthy message on Instagram to reflect on the fashion show.
"What started as a conversation with Domenico & Stefano over dinner, lead to a months long adventure, with the goal to create the #CiaoKim collection, a curated selection of looks from the D & G archives... Not only did the D & G team allow me to curate the collection, they also trusted me & my team to create all of the content, the short film, music & creative direction of the show, working along side their incredible team. This process really allowed me to express my creativity without limitations," Kim wrote in her post.
