Unlike her attention-seeking mother and aunts, North West has had it with the paparazzi violating her privacy.
The self-aware 9-year-old held a sign that read “STOP,” during the 2022/2023 Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Fall/ Winter Show in Paris on July 7. Her mother, Kim Kardashian, posted a collage of photos from the Gaultier show along with the video of North and her sign.
“JEAN PAUL GAULTIER COUTURE SHOW ~ So proud of my sweet friend @olivier_rousteing for designing this couture collection for @jeanpaulgaultier I couldn’t be more proud! As a mom, I’m so grateful that my daughter loves coming with me on my work trips and I am able to bring her and create these memories together along with my mom.”
About the “STOP” sign, Kim wrote, “For anyone who knows North knows how funny she finds the last slide! North I guess had it with the people taking pictures of her so she wrote on her invite STOP and held it up and wanted them to just focus on the show… 😂🫶🏼”

Social media users applauded the little girl’s chutzpah.
I think North West will change laws for famous children in the future. Baby girl has been saying “stop”, in so many ways, for years.

It should be illegal for paparazzi to record minors at any capacity. I have never looked up North West in my life & she’s always on my timeline visibly & verbally stressed because she is being recorded. I just saw a video where she is holding up a “stop” sign to the camera 💔💔💔 pic.twitter.com/voRrUh7Ofg

mmmmm a lot of people laughing at north west holding up that sign that said “stop” towards paparazzi filming her but given the fact she is literally 9 years old and has grown up in the public eye with no choice but to participate i’d hope people would be sympathetic

North continued her paparazzi protest.
“Why do you have to wait for us all the time,” she asked waiting photographers as she exited another show. The crowd cracked up at the snarky 9-year-old’s question.
North West is definitely Kanye’s child 😭 pic.twitter.com/sI90JlzJhN
