North West donned her own costume from the ERL Clothing company for her performances in a pair of The Lion King shows.
North, the eldest of four children shared by exes Kim Kardashian, 43, and Kanye West, 46, performed in a pair of concerts in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl in the role of young Simba on Friday and Saturday.
North, 10, wore a yellow ensemble as she took the stage at the show, which was filmed for a future Disney+ release, performing the song I Just Can’t Wait to be King and receiving a standing ovation from fans at a moment.
North was wearing a fuzzy hoodie, shorts, socks, and fuzzy slippers; said a spokesperson for the musical People On Tuesday, North, as well as the show’s stars Jennifer Hudson and Jeremy Irons, were “not dressed for the production” for which they were styled by Marina Toybina.
On Tuesday afternoon, clothing company ERL later posted on Instagram multiple images of North in the costume it designed for her, with a post titled “costume design for North in Disney’s The Lion King.”

Reactions to the costume on the thread were mostly negative, with several users saying the outfit looked amateurish compared to the other performers who appeared on the show.
Some users said the costume looked more like Sesame Street stalwart Big Bird than Simba.
“You missed the assignment, these are big bird vibes, not Simba,” said one user, while another said: “This gives big bird vibes, not Simba.”
One user said: “The costume looks like a big bird,” while another added: “It looks more like the bird from Sesame Street.”
One user referred to the Kardashians in their comment, saying, “Y’all must secretly hate this family…how could they fail so horribly?”
One user said the costume detracted from North’s performance, as it looked tacky and put together at the last minute.
‘You got her dirty with this costume,’ the user said. “She had a central performance, but everyone around her looked incredible in costumes that suited the performance.
“This looks like one of those costumes your mom makes on the morning of World Book Day because she completely forgot.”

The weekend shows at the famous Southern California venue weren’t exactly a ‘staging of the Broadway show,’ according to People, but rather a collection of songs featured in the 1994 animated film and the 2019 remake .
Kim Kardashian took to social media with multiple posts commemorating her eldest son’s latest endeavor, which several people said was indicative of Hollywood’s tendencies toward nepotism.
“If there was ever a time when Kanye needed to go on stage and take someone’s microphone away, this was it,” said one user on the DailyMail TikTok account, referencing Taylor Swift’s infamous interruption by father of North in 2009.
In addition to Hudson and Irons, North also appeared alongside notable names such as Nathan Lane, Billy Eichner, Bradley Gibson, and Jason Weaver.
North’s parents have had no qualms about bringing her on stage, as in March, her father Kanye brought her on stage to sing his song Talking at the Rolling Loud festival.
