Both North West and Blue Ivy Carter are establishing themselves as significant Gen Alpha style stars in their own right, and their ensembles appear to have more in common than you might expect. Cue: North West and Blue Ivy Carter’s new accidental twinning moment, which may make you want to go shopping right away.
Just to refresh your memory, Blue Ivy made waves over the weekend for attending Super Bowl LX while wearing the 2026 it bag: a Balenciaga Neo Cagole City handbag in light blue denim. Just a few days later, North West is showing off her own blue Balenciaga City bag on her TikTok channel, which she shares with her mother, Kim Kardashian.
In a couple of videos sent to the account late on February 9, North West shows off her Balenciaga small City bag in teal, which perfectly matches her now-trademark hair colour. Instead of denim like Blue Ivy, North West’s bag had a classic leather finish, and she carried it by the top handles, skipping the longer crossbody strap entirely.
In another video, North West displayed the bag alongside her casual look, which included her usual platform clogs, super wide striped tracksuit pants, and a graphic sweatshirt, all from Balenciaga.
The Balenciaga city bag and related styles have recently become popular, and with Gen Alpha’s approval, it appears that their reign is far from finished. Such silhouettes are in high demand on the secondhand and antique markets, and they come in a variety of sizes, colours, and finishes, adding to their versatility.
North West has been a long-time Balenciaga lover, and we’ve previously spotted her wearing a small Le Cagole while out. If the moto-inspired style of the Balenciaga bags does not appeal to you, both North West’s and Blue Ivy’s outfits demonstrate that bright bags are hot, and they are an excellent way to add a burst of colour to an otherwise understated appearance!
