Kim Kardashian and Kanye West started dating in 2012. Since then, they have become Hollywood’s new celebrity couple in both lifestyle and fashion. However, this relationship ended in 2021.

Kim Kardashian has undergone a major style change since she finally broke free from the clutches of her ex-husband Kanye West . The 44-year-old star is now regularly seen in pencil skirts and chic heels, showing that she has returned to the style she had before she started dating the controversial rapper.

When she first rose to fame in the early 2000s, Kim Kardashian was a fan of Herve Leger dresses, Christian Louboutin heels, pencil skirts and tight tops, outerwear, luxury accessories like Hermes Birkin bags and statement jewelry.

Kim Kardashian dated Kanye West in 2012, shortly after her 72-day marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries ended. From that moment on, the 1980-born beauty underwent a “revolution” in style, to which the Stronger hitmaker contributed greatly.

Kanye West famously threw away most of Kim Kardashian’s wardrobe on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians just months into their relationship. And throughout the years, Kanye West has reportedly had complete control over what his wife wears.

Kim Kardashian has become her husband’s muse, regularly wearing outfits from Kanye West’s Yeezy collection as well as quirky creations from Balenciaga and Balmain. When Kim Kardashian and Kanye West got married in Italy in 2014, her sisters and mother Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall, Kylie and Kris Jenner even had to wear bridesmaids’ outfits personally picked out by the rapper.

On an episode of The Kardashians last year, Kim Kardashian admitted that she found it difficult to find her own style after years of being told what to wear by her ex-husband: “I definitely see what I like, but I’ve never really been a visionary. Then Kanye would come in and say, ‘You should do your hair like this. You should wear this outfit.'”
