Former Keeping Up With The Kardashians guest star Kanye West changed Kim Kardashian's image, and now that he's out of the picture, fans think that Kim's style has gone downhill. As a single woman, Kim appears to be styling herself and then posting her favorite looks on social media. A dress she recently put on (and shared photos of) is reminding fans that Kanye is absent from her life.
Being married to a rap/fashion mogul came with many perks. Kanye boasted about Kim being his muse and enjoyed showing off his personal styling skills through a number of his wife's looks. However, some fans preferred her style before Kanye's influence. Kim launched her SKIMS shapewear line with her husband's help. After filing for divorce from Kanye two months ago, Kim is making her own fashion choices or getting help from a new personal stylist. Sources have said that the former couple hasn't been on the best terms when it comes to communicating amid their divorce proceedings. It's safe to say that Kanye isn't offering Kim any style advice at the moment.
The KKW Beauty founder recently posted a photo slide, showing off an eccentric dress she was hiding in her closet. "I was saving this dress for vacay but whatevs I guess it’s for the gram," she captioned the post. However, after one Redditor shared the photos in a thread, Kim was blasted for the odd look. "Oh no ma'am," they said of the half-satin, half-threaded gown. Kim might've known what she was doing by opting not to save the dress for her holiday.
Another person thought the strange look was the result of Kim being estranged from her fashion mogul husband. "Kanye West has LEFT the building," they said. Someone else seemingly defended the look, claiming it looked like "something Kanye would put her in." Kim and Kanye did have some fashionable moments together. Overall, the dress's two-toned fabric didn't get rave reviews. One critic commented, "Well now that she is divorced. You don't need to worry, Kim can dress horrible all on her own, she doesn't need 'ye's help."
It's also possible that Kanye bought her the dress and she finally decided to wear it. The "Stronger" rapper was recently spotted wearing his wedding ring despite his ongoing divorce proceedings. That move appeared to symbolize the fact that the superstar couple might be in a more amicable place amid their split. The two have been living separate lives since last year. That was when tension between the two mounted.
Maybe Kim's estranged husband had wanted her to put on that dress and show it off. However, the look is different enough to make Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans think it was Kim's choice, rather than Kanye's. Kim's fans think she's changed her face. It seems like her style is evolving, too.
