Meghan McCain is weighing in on North West’s latest magazine appearance — and her reaction has put the spotlight on the 13-year-old’s parents.
The former View co-host commented Tuesday on North’s cover for Dazed Magazine, where the young star appears in a series of edgy looks featuring bright blue hair, bold piercings and grills.
McCain, 41, shared her reaction on X, writing: “This poor baby. My heart just breaks for this child.”
The brief comment quickly drew attention because of its timing and the subject of the photos. North is the daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, and some people interpreted McCain’s post as criticism of the way the former couple is parenting their daughter.
Neither Kardashian nor West has responded to McCain’s remarks, according to the supplied information.

North’s Dazed appearance comes as the teenager continues to establish her own public image. The magazine spread embraces an intentionally unconventional aesthetic, with North photographed in striking fashion and showing off her blue hair, piercings and grills.

McCain did not explicitly mention Kardashian or West in her post, nor did she explain what specifically prompted her concern about North’s cover. Her statement therefore leaves the precise target of her criticism unclear.
What is clear is that North’s latest magazine moment has sparked a conversation far beyond the fashion spread itself — with McCain’s reaction adding another layer to the debate surrounding the young celebrity’s increasingly public image.
For now, North’s Dazed cover remains at the center of the discussion, while Kardashian and West have yet to publicly address McCain’s comments.
