Kim Kardashian Hits Back At Critics Of Her Braids

Kim Kardashian West has spoken out against critics who judged her for rocking fulani braids for an awards show and allowing her five-year-old daughter get her naturally curly hair straightened in a revealing new interview.

The 37-year-old reality star dazzled in her white crop top paired with a sparkly skirt for the MTV Movie & TV awards Sunday - but people were shocked she chose to wear her hair in thin corn rows after experiencing an immense about of backlash earlier this year.

In an interview with Bustle, Kim revealed her decision to wear the braids was because her eldest daughter, North West, wanted matching hairstyles.

'I actually did that look because North said she wanted braids and asked if I would do them with her. So we braided her hair and then we braided my hair,' Kim explained to the news site.

This is not the first time the mother-daughter duo has matched. Kim has been seen out with her five-year-old daughter sporting matching outfits including one outing where they both wore silver dresses.
