The Kanye West makeover: How every woman he dated has had style change

Kanye West has become well known for pushing boundaries when it comes to his choices of clothing – but it seems as though the fashion designer, 45, is also quite passionate about how what his significant others wear. 

Almost everyone that Kanye has been linked to has undergone a major style transformation after they started dating the rapper.

Take his former flame Julia Fox, for example. Within weeks of embarking on a romance with the Yeezy creator, the Uncut Gem star’s sense of style was completely revamped.

She went from wearing modest and reserved jumpsuits to daring and bold leather looks, which often left her curves on full display. 

Before and after: Most recently, the Stronger artist’s new partner, Bianca Censori, underwent a major makeover and has been seen wearing a slew of bizarre outfits since they started dating

And she was very open about the major impact that Kanye had on the way she was dressing. 

At the time, she revealed that he had gifted her an entire new closet after they started dating – and convinced her to throw out all her old clothes.

Kanye’s ex Kim Kardashian went through a similar change after she started began her romance with the musician in 2012, ditching bright patterns and eye-popping colors for much-more sultry and sleek outfits.

A clip from her reality show featured Kanye going through her closet and forcing her to get rid of all the things that he didn’t approve of.

And after they divorced in 2021, the SKIMS founder admitted that Kanye was so controlling over her choices of clothing, that she struggled to dress herself and would have ‘panic attacks’ over what to wear.

Most recently, the Stronger artist’s new partner, Bianca Censori, has been seen wearing a slew of bizarre outfits while out with Kanye over the last few months, leaving many to wonder if he was influencing her closet as well.

She also underwent a major makeover soon after their romance began, chopping all her hair off and dyeing it a completely different color.

As Kanye’s latest love interest continues to raise eyebrows due to her very-odd ensembles and shockingly different new look, take a look back at all the other times Kanye impacted the way that his lovers dressed.

Bianca Censori

Just weeks after rumors hit the web that Kanye and Bianca had gotten married, the rapper’s new ‘wife’ chopped off all of her long, brown locks and dyed them blonde

Plus, since their romance began in January 2023, Bianca and Kanye have been photographed wearing a series of very-odd outfits

Just weeks after rumors hit the web that Kanye and Bianca, 28, had gotten married, many were quick to notice that the rapper’s new ‘wife’ had undergone a major physical transformation.

She chopped off her long, brown locks and dyed them bleach blonde – posing the question, did Kanye have an impact on Bianca’s decision to switch up her look? 

Since their romance began in January 2023, Bianca and Kanye have been photographed wearing a series of very-odd outfits.

Back in May, the Stronger artist raised eyebrows when he seen alongside Bianca in a pair of ‘sock shoes,’ and when they headed to dinner a few days later, she turned heads when she wore a white scarf wrapped around her face, leaving only her eyes visible.

Over the weekend, the couple was seen in arguably their strangest looks yet, when they headed to church together (seen)

She also modeled for Kanye’s Yeezy line last month wearing only a black square of fabric over her chest and a tiny piece of cloth over her genitals and backside, which she paired with a pair of thigh-high black boots.

Over the weekend, the couple was seen in arguably their strangest looks yet, when they headed to church together.

Kanye donned a black T-shirt with a pair of shoulder pads that football players often wear to protect themselves on the field, while Bianca opted for a black dress that contained an enormous piece of fabric around her neck.

Very little is known about how Bianca liked to dress before she met Kanye, but it’s safe to assume that he’s had a say in her recent looks.

Julia Fox

Before she was linked to the rapper, Julia would often sport simple and chic looks – including reserved jumpsuits and modest suits. She’s pictured in October 2019

But soon after she confirmed that she was dating Kanye in early 2022, her sense of style changed practically over night. She’s seen left in October 2019 and right in February 2022

But soon after she confirmed that she was dating Kanye in early 2022, her sense of style changed practically over night.

During the first weeks of their romance, the Uncut Gems star, now 33, was spotted wearing a slew of daring and bold looks – including a bright blue trench coat, low-rise pants that left her thong on full display, a metallic body suit, and numerous tiny crop tops that completely exposed her stomach.

The couple made headlines in January of that year when they showed up to the Kenzo show at Paris Fashion Week donning matching all-denim looks.

They also wore similar black leather ensembles at the Schiaparelli runway event days later.

Julia later spoke out about how important the way she dressed was to Kanye, telling Interview magazine that he completely ‘transformed’ her closet within days of them meeting.

She revealed that he actually gifted her an entire ‘hotel suite full of new clothes’ following their second date.

‘It was every girl’s dream come true. It felt like a real Cinderella moment,’ she recalled. 

‘I don’t know how he did it, or how he got all of it there in time. But I was so surprised. Like, who does things like this on a second date? Or any date.’

The model added that soon after, he convinced her to get rid of almost all of her ‘old clothes.’

‘A couple days later, all my s**t was in boxes, gone. It was so cathartic,’ she shared. ‘It wasn’t like I was just packing up my old clothes, it was like I was packing up my old life.’

Kim Kardashian

Similarly to Julia, soon after Kim and Kanye (seen in 2016) started dating in 2012, he completely overhauled her closet – forcing her to get rid of everything that he didn’t approve of

It was documented for an episode of Kim’s reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians. The clip showed the musician going through all of Kim’s clothes, shoes, and handbags

‘Babe, you gotta clean out everything,’ he said, as a clearly stressed out Kim starred at one of the purses he wanted to eliminate

‘Kanye’s definitely inspired me to want to be more of an individual,’ she said. ‘He’s a fashion designer and he loves clothes so I’m excited to collaborate with him to see what his take is’

Soon after Kim and Kanye tied the knot in 2014, she started wearing much more revealing and sensual looks. She’s seen left in 2011 and right in 2015

It was documented for an episode of Kim’s reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians. 

The clip showed the musician going through all of the now-42-year-old’s clothes, shoes, and handbags – and picking out numerous things that he didn’t like to give away.

‘Babe, you gotta clean out everything,’ he said, as a clearly stressed out Kim starred at one of the purses he wanted to eliminate.

‘No, no I need these,’ she begged as he grabbed a pair of her heels off the shelf. ‘Oh hell no,’ the musician responded. 

‘Kanye’s definitely inspired me to want to be more of an individual,’ she said during a confessional. ‘I think my style is just evolving and changing.

‘He’s a fashion designer and he loves clothes so I’m excited to, like, collaborate with him to see what his take on fashion is.’ 

Throughout their six-year marriage, Kim’s style certainly went through an evolution. Soon after they tied the knot in 2014, she started wearing much more revealing and sensual looks. She also ditched bright patterns and eye-popping colors for darker and simpler outfits instead.

In 2016, she credited Kanye with the change, telling CNN Style , ‘I really think that my relationship with my husband Kanye changed everything.’ They’re seen in 2019

‘Before, I used to always think more is more,’ Kim (seen left in 2011 and right in 2015) added. ‘Now I definitely understand how much cooler it is just to be a little bit simpler’

After they split in 2021, Kim admitted during an episode of her show that she was struggling to pick out outfits without him. They are seen in 2018

In 2016, she credited Kanye with the change, telling CNN Style, ‘I really think that my relationship with my husband Kanye changed everything.

Kim (seen with Kanye in 2018) said, ‘I got to a point where I would ask him for advice for everything – down to what I wear. Now I’m having panic attacks like, what do I wear?’

‘Back in the day, I thought I had the best style. I look back at outfits and I’m, like, mortified.

‘Before, I used to always think more is more and I used to accessorize and wear bracelets and earrings and necklaces. I used to do it all. 

‘Now I definitely understand how much cooler it is just to be a little bit simpler.’ 

It was no secret that Kanye heavily influenced the way Kim dressed while they were together – and after they split in 2021, Kim admitted during an episode of her show that she was struggling to pick out outfits without him.

‘I got to a point where I would ask him for advice for everything – down to what I wear,’ she explained. ‘Now I’m having panic attacks like, what do I wear?

‘I think that fashion has always been something that I’ve always been really into, but I’ve never been the creative.

‘I definitely see what I like but I’ve never really been the visionary. Kanye would come in and be like, “You should do your hair like this. You should do your makeup like this.” That’s his love language, it’s clothes. And so, I always just trusted in him.’
