North West drew major attention with a striking appearance at this year’s Coachella amid reports of her father Kanye West’s UK travel restrictions.

On Friday, April 10, the 12-year-old was seen on the first day of the festival in Indio, California, wearing a goth-inspired outfit featuring a graphic tee, shorts, and chunky black platform boots.

North’s signature long blue hair, worn down with several chunky silver jewellery pieces, stood out the most.

Although her mother Kim Kardashian was notably absent, the young star was joined by family, including her aunts Kourtney Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Kendall Jenner.

North’s appearance came after reports that her dad, also known as Ye, had been denied entry to the United Kingdom to perform at the Wireless Festival following backlash over his antisemitic and racist remarks, as well as pro-Nazi controversies, despite a public apology in a Wall Street Journal advertisement.

"Antisemitism in all its forms is abhorrent, and we recognise the real and personal impact these issues have had," the festival said in a statement.

It added, "As Ye said today, he acknowledges that words alone are not enough, and in spite of this still hopes to be given the opportunity to begin a conversation with the Jewish community in the UK."

When was Kanye West set to perform?

Ye was scheduled to perform at the 2026 Wireless Festival, set to take place at London’s Finsbury Park from July 10 to 12.
