To accompany her nascent music career, North West is now modeling for magazine covers.
She is only 13.
As with her music videos, the cover shoot is getting mixed reactions.
A number of voices are condemning Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
North West stuns on the cover of ‘Dazed’
At only 13, North has graced the cover of the Dazed Autumn Issue 2026.
She spoke about her music, her last time feeling starstruck, and the piercing that she wants — but is not allowed to get.
Given the sorry state of our nation’s literacy, it is probably no surprise to hear that most people focused on the photos.
North posed for the Gus Van Sant cover pics wearing an elaborate collar of keys, a bunch of fake piercings (she loves the aesthetic), and of course her now-signature turquoise hair.
Additionally, she sported the black grill on her teeth. It goes well with the hair, and adds to the severity and intensity of the overall aesthetic.
Born into the world’s most visible family, #NorthWest has spent 13 years being watched.
Now, with a riotous debut EP, she’s ready to be seen on her own terms.

In a since-deleted tweet, Meghan McCain took to social media to take a break from saying unhinged things about the Girl Scouts, Abdul El-Sayed, Meghan Markle, to target North.
TMZ reports that her words were: “This poor baby. My heart just breaks for this child.”
(It appears that the former The View antagonist deleted her tweet after calling out the site’s coverage, which she felt was unfair towards her.)
McCain, who may have mentioned a time or two that she is the daughter of late Senator John McCain, clarified: “I was not mocking. I feel terrible for her and believe that kind of magazine cover is no place for a child. Don’t twist it.”
Though you do not ever “gotta hand it” to Meghan McCain, we can agree that children should seldom grace the covers of magazines. We might stop short at calling it heartbreaking, however.
It’s unclear what evidence Dr. Drew may have for this parenting allegation
An even worse blonde Megan variant, Megyn Kelly, of course weighed in on the Tuesday, August 25 episode of her dreadful podcast.
The former Fox News anchor and the former overpaid NBC whatever-her-title-was condemned Kim and Kanye for “rushing” to craft their daughter into a child star.
Dr. Drew pointed out that North has bipolar disorder in her (paternal) heritage, and claimed without evidence that her parents “have not been available” and “don’t look like they’re around all the time.”
He said that North becoming a direct public figure like this could have dire consequences.
He characterized the whole situation as a “guillotine.”

There are glimmers of truth in all of this. In particular, 13 is a very young age to be a public figure, and one likely to result in long-term harm.
But we should consider that this status is largely inevitable for North. Her younger siblings are stalked and approached by photographers in strip mall parking lots. The negative public attention is unavoidable.
It’s also clearly something that, at least for now, she wants. She likes to perform, she likes her look. And, in case anyone has forgotten what it was like to be in middle school, her outfits are just how many 13-year-olds would dress if they had money.
We can also remember that Kim’s younger sisters, Kendall and Kylie, grew up as famous tweens, too. Kendall was posing in a bikini on the beach for a photoshoot when she was, what, 14?
North West wearing a lot of bulky mall goth jewelry is age-appropriate and safe. The magazine photoshoot is weird, but we all know that it can get so much worse.

UPDATE: We now know that Dolly passed away at Tennessee’s Vanderbilt University Hospital following a “brief battle with cancer.”
That news comes courtesy of a statement from the music legend’s representatives:
“Our beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope, and integrity into everything she touched,” the statement read (via People):
“Her unmatched generosity reached the lives of countless people whom she would never meet, yet she was always there to offer a helping hand.”
Read on for initial coverage of the final days of an American icon:
We have tragic news to report from the world of music today:
Country legend Dolly Parton has passed away at the age of 80.
News of her death comes courtesy of an Instagram video from her nephew and head of security, Brian Seaver:
“My name is Brian Seaver, son of Cassie Parton, and I’m representing the Parton and Owens family today announcing the passing of my aunt, Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean, Sister, Sis and Granny to one generation and Gigi to the next,” he says in the video, adding:
“This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago, before I fully absorbed it as a future reality.
“As her head of security for more than two decades, a role my father Larry held before me, I have imagined the heaviness of this moment but haven’t truly felt it til now.”
No official cause of death has been revealed, but the news follows months of worrisome reports about Parton’s health.
In May, Dolly was forced to cancel a planned series of shows in Las Vegas.
Just last week, Parton issued a statement about her recovery, acknowledging that her health had declined following the death of her husband, Carl Dean, in March.
“As I’ve shared in video messages throughout the past year, I am dealing with some health issues that I just didn’t pay attention to when I was watching over Carl,” Dolly told People, adding:
“You know, this isn’t the first time I’ve had to manage something like this. Back in the early ’80s, I was down for several months with female issues, and I was struggling with my weight at the time too, so it’s not like I haven’t been through hard times with my health.”
Her statement continued:
“But I think because we live in a 24/7 world with social media, everything gets magnified in ways it wasn’t years ago.
“I used to joke that I was the Queen of the Tabloids, but now I guess I can say I’m the Queen of Social Media AI!
“Seriously, though, even though I’m still healin’, I’m still workin’! You know me — as I’ve often said — I’ve dreamed myself into a corner and I still have so many things I want to achieve, so I’m gonna keep on working as long as I can to see everything come to life.”
Born into a large and impoverished family in 1946, Dolly began playing guitar and singing as a child before moving to Nashville shortly after graduating high school.
Her career eventually became one of the most remarkable in music history.
Parton released her debut album, Hello, I’m Dolly, in 1967 and went on to become the best-selling female country artist of all time, selling more than 160 million albums worldwide.
Her legendary catalog includes such genre-defining classics as “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You.”
In addition to her towering achievements in the world of music, Parton will be remembered for her roles in such films as 9 to 5 and Steel Magnolias, as well as her humanitarian work, which touched the lives of millions.
“Whether it be the hundreds of millions of books donated through her invaluable Imagination Library or funding research that helped create a lifesaving vaccine used around the world, Dolly’s unconditional love for all people was the guiding force for her lasting impact,” Parton’s team saif in a statement, adding:
“After bravely facing a brief battle with cancer, Dolly departed her Earthly life today at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center surrounded by loved ones.”
Our thoughts go out to Dolly’s loved ones during this enormously difficult time.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
