While the return of Yeezy would be buzzy enough on its own, most of the conversation about the fashion show centered on the debut vocal performance of [North](https://time.com/4919093/enums/), West’s 6-year-old daughter with wife [Kim Kardashian West.](https://time.com/5675674/kim-kardashian-on-jimmy-fallon/) At the show, North appeared on stage where she rapped while models walked the runway; Kanye watched her performance with plenty of pride from the side. While this is the first time that North has performed publicly, this is far from her [first time doing the fashion month circuit](https://time.com/3430203/heres-kim-kardashian-and-north-at-fashion-week/); when she was just over a year old, North had her own front row seat at the Givenchy show in 2014, where she sat, resplendent in a custom black Givenchy dress. For this time around at Paris Fashion Week, however, North opted for a more sporty look, wearing a neutral matching pant set and a bright fuchsia padded gilet. See her performance below. > [](https://twitter.com/eiffeltyler/status/1234584440724127746) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5793972/north-west-yeezy-season-8-fashion-show/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5793972/north-west-yeezy-season-8-fashion-show/"},"headline":"North West Turned Her Dad Kanye West's Fashion Show Into Her Own Personal Concert","datePublished":"2020-03-02T23:10:24.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:01:20.561Z","description":"As one does!","url":"https://time.com/5793972/north-west-yeezy-season-8-fashion-show/","keywords":["Newsfeed","fashion","onetime","clickmonsters"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6d3693f43548ec89/698a0aebdb2987afec265023/North-West-Yeezy-Season-8-fashion-show.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6d3693f43548ec89/698a0aebdb2987afec265023/North-West-Yeezy-Season-8-fashion-show.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Celebrity Sightings - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2020/2021 : Day Eight","caption":"Celebrity Sightings - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2020/2021 : Day Eight","creditText":"GC Images—2020 Arnold Jerocki","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5793972/north-west-yeezy-season-8-fashion-show/","name":"North West Turned Her Dad Kanye West's Fashion Show Into Her Own Personal Concert"}}]}] ```
