It's not what you think it is...

She’s been known to cause chatter for her daring choices, and Kim Kardashian’s latest move is no different.

The mum-of-four has stirred the parenting pot once again after sharing a series of images featuring herself and six-year-old daughter North West.

On first glance, the images themselves appear completely scandal-free as the mum-and-daughter duo are seen pouting and posing for the camera.

But there’s a tiny detail about said pics that had all the makings of a Kardashian-scale controversy… before Kim explained it all, that is.

Indeed if you look closely at the pictures, you’ll notice young North is sporting a new accessory – a nose ring.

But instead of leaving parents to question the move and weigh in their own thoughts on piercings for young children, Kimmy K addressed the chatter immediately to clear things up.

There it is! The sneaky nose ring sported by North West had all the ingredients to spark a bit of controversy.

North definitely takes after her mum when it comes to posing!

Kim shared the candid snaps from her grandmother’s 85th birthday party earlier in July via her Instagram story – and one of these pictures explained everything.

In bold writing across the top of a picture featuring North alongside her cousins Penelope Disick and True Thompson as well as aunties Khloe and Kourtney, Kim wrote: “Fake nose ring alert!!!”

We’ll just be over here breathing a quick sigh of relief!

Phew! False alarm, guys!

While Kim quickly nipped any controversy in the bud with the new snaps, another Kardashian sister has been causing a bit of debate herself after posting a separate picture that had a questionable detail.

The 21-year-old beauty mogul shared a snap of herself and boyfriend Travis Scott sharing a rather couply moment beside her luxury car.

She wrote alongside the pic: “partners in crime 4 evaaa💗💦🦋👨‍👩‍👧”, which certainly reflected the couple’s loved-up pose.

But there was a little detail in the background of the picture that didn’t sit right with fans – it looked as though Kylie and Travis had parked in a disabled parking spot.

Indeed a blue sign in the background of the shot all but confirms the awkward gaffe.

“Who else sees the disabled bay sign? NO ONE……. ok,” one person commented.

Another said: “Shame on you guys for parking in a handicapp space. Guess you wouldnt know what its like to be handicapp. Coming from a handicapp person.”

The mum of one riled up her fans for the questionable decision.

In another questionable moment, Kendall Jenner also came under fire last year when she was pictured parking her car in a disabled spot in LA.

At the time, Kendall reportedly ran to her car and drove away when she saw people were snapping her doing so.

With a family as heavily watched as theirs, it’s no wonder people can quickly pick up on any of their questionable moves – intentional or not!
