North West’s ‘uncomfortable’ greeting with 23-year-old model at Paris Fashion Week goes viral

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s 13-year-old daughter’s interaction with a 23-year-old model during her Paris Fashion Week appearance has gone viral.

North West was approached by Matteo Sinet at the Vetements Menswear Spring/Summer 2027 show on Friday to take a photo together, in a video shared via X by rapper Skepta.

The-43-year-old drew attention to North holding out her hand for a shake before Sinet embraced her, claiming, “A blind man could see she wanted a handshake.”

“My fans know I try to stay out of peoples business but damn the way grown men, complete strangers, try to use North makes me sick,” Skepta wrote on Saturday. “Protect your kids people. Protect your kids!”

Many social media users agreed the teenager “look[ed] so uncomfortable” during the exchange, with one writing, “The awkwardness in that video is painful.”

Others, however, pointed out that Sinet “didn’t linger or make it weird” and asked whether “hugging is a social offense” — to which Skepta replied, “What are you talking about?! She is 13 years old and she put her hand out for a handshake, you don’t ignore that. I can’t believe some these [sic] replies to my tweet.”

A source, notably, tells Page Six that North “wasn’t uncomfortable at all and just wasn’t sure if [Sinet] wanted to shake hands or hug.”

Reps for Kardashian, West and Sinet did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
