Everything Kanye West Has Said About Kim Kardashian's Style: Jokes, Disses and Compliments

His opinion. Kanye West is known to be outspoken about many things, including ex Kim Kardashian's style choices. The "Homecoming" rapper played a pivotal role in the Skim founder's fashion evolution, transforming her wardrobe from a print-obsessed reality star to a luxury label queen. As fans of Keeping Up With the Kardashians recall, West famously revamped the TV personality's closet on the hit E! series in 2012. "He is giving me a full clothing makeover," she said at the time. "Kanye's definitely inspired me to be a little bit more of an individual. I think my style is just evolving and changing and I think it should." (Keeping Up With the Kardashians ended after 20 seasons in June 2021. The family's new show, The Kardashians, streams on Hulu.) He later introduced the Selfish author to the creative directors of Givenchy, Balmain and Balenciaga — solidifying her reputation as a fashion figure to watch. “I really think that my relationship with my husband Kanye changed everything,” she told CNN in 2016. “I mean, back in the day, I thought I had the best style. I look back at outfits and I’m, like, mortified.” With the help of the Chicago native, Kardashian became known for timeless two-piece sets, classic suiting, high-end activewear and PVC heels. He also had input on her most memorable Met Gala moments. For the 2019 event, the SKKN by Kim founder was a jaw-dropping sight in a corset dress by Mugler. The look was supposed to include crystal nipples on the breasts — but West didn't approve. [jwplayer dWwpxYst-zhNYySv2] "Well, the dress initially since I was wet coming out of the water, there were nipples attached to it. I think with editing I don't know, I'm not sure if we actually put that part into that fight [on the show]," Kardashian said during an appearance on The Real. "So, he was really certain that he didn't want that on the dress and had mentioned it multiple times. And that was still on there, so we did have that discussion." West and Kardashian began dating in 2011, got married in May 2014 and split in February 2021 when she filed for divorce. Together they share daughters North and Chicago and sons Saint and Psalm. When Kardashian and West's marriage ended, so did their fashion collaborations. (West, however, did briefly want to remain Kardashian's stylist, as mentioned on the series premiere of the Kardashians in April 2022.) No longer having the Grammy winner has a resource proved to be daunting for the businesswoman. “Even now I’m having panic attacks like, what do I wear?” she explained during a May 2022 episode of the Kardashians. “How do I wear something that hasn’t been pre-vetted first?” She echoed similar sentiments in a February 2022 interview with Vogue, saying: “I always think, ‘What will be next?’ I always had Kanye, who knew exactly what the next fashion era would be for me.” Though Kardashians has found her way, creating a signature aesthetic with the Balenciaga pantaboot, West has been critical of her new-found fashion confidence.

He Slammed Her Prada Jumpsuit

On an October 2022 of the Kardashians, the beauty mogul was visiting Italy for Milan Fashion Week when West expressed his disappointment in a glossy Prada boiler suit she wore while out and about.

“Look what Kanye texts me. ‘No white glasses. Better make security wear black gloves. The orange made me so mad. Would have went to jail before I went out in that. I will be home for North’s game,’” Kardashian told her friends.

He Said Her "Career Is Over"

When Kardashian attended WSJ Magazine's Innovator Awards in October 2021, she styled herself in a brown leather dress from her Fendi x Skims collaboration. She paired the look with matching gloves and snakeskin boots. West, meanwhile, wasn't pleased.

The California native revealed on the Kardashians that the hip-hop star compared her to Marge Simpson. “He told me my career is over and then he showed me a picture of Marge Simpson wearing something similar,” Kardashian said on the episode.

He Claimed He Bought a Coat She Wore With Pete Davidson

In February 2022, Kardashian and then-boyfriend Davidson, stepped out for a pre-Valentine’s Day dinner at Lilia in New York. For the occasion, she rocked a sparkly fur coat atop a gray dress and metallic boots.

“DON’T HAVE BEEF WITH KIM I LOVE MY FAMILY SO STOP THAT NARRATIVE IM NOT GIVING UP ON MY FAMILY,” West wrote via Instagram at the time, alongside photos of his ex and the comedian. “I BOUGHT THIS COAT FOR KIM BEFORE SNL I THOUGHT IT WAS PARTICULARLY SPECIAL I HAVE FAITH THAT WE‘LL BE BACK TOGETHER."

He Called Her His Muse

Before their split, Kardashian modeled almost all of West's Yeezy designs.

“She was always my muse, now she’s become other designers’ muses,” he told Style.com in 2015. “As soon as we started dating, fashion people were really opposed to the idea of reality stars. And all the relationships, the somewhat friends that I had somewhat built up, completely turned their backs on her and me. They already had their back to her, and now they turned it to me.”
