Should North West stay the course she appears to be on—toward spotlight-stealing stardom, that is—the world best get ready.
Because while 10 was a formative age for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's eldest child, all signs point to North doubling down on 11 when it comes to building her public profile.
Aside from countless cameos on her sprawling family's Instagram pages over the years, the June 15 birthday girl has a considerable TikTok presence, thanks to the account she shares with her mom that boasts 19.2 million followers. "She teaches me patience," Kim quipped last year on The Kardashians of Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and 5-year-old Psalm's big sister. "She has taught me a lot about life."
Moreover, North's already got a rap name—Miss Westie—and is planning to release an album called Elementary School Dropout, a nod to her dad's seminal 2004 release The College Dropout. She's not sure yet when her addition to the West family canon will be ready, only promising when a 13-year-old reporter caught up with her at the Rolling Loud California music festival in March that "it's gonna be great."
Because she also already has rapper swag.
And she appeared in a special production of The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl last month, so now she knows what a standing ovation feels like.
"I like singing. Performing is my favorite," North told i-D in October, listing rapper, basketball player (she plays hoops and loves a courtside Lakers game) and artist as future occupations she'd like to tackle.
You can also add business owner to the list. "One day," North noted, "I want to own Yeezy and SKIMS," her dad and mom's respective companies.
Before that day comes, however, the tween doesn't plan to just rely on her allowance to furnish her dreams.
"When I'm, like, 13, I want to walk dogs, to make money to buy art supplies," North said, "because everything around here is so expensive."
They grow up so fast.
But as evidenced by her ease in front of the camera and how preternaturally comfortable she appears out in public—enough to signal to photographers at a fashion show to quit paying so much attention to her so as not to take away from the clothes—North is just getting started.
So before she goes off in a whole new direction, check out North's sassiest moments leading up to her 11th birthday:
