Once dominated by the aesthetic control of controversial rapper Kanye West, Kim Kardashian's fashion style now stands out in the front row of shows, completely her own.

According to Grazia magazine, except for Madonna, there are few people in Hollywood who have gone through as many style changes as Kim Kardashian.

It's no exaggeration to say that the star of the reality TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians (2007) is a modern-day “fashion chameleon.”

Kim Kardashian's fashion sense was once controlled by Kanye West

Looking back, Kim Kardashian wasn't always the fashion icon she is today. Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, she often followed seasonal trends and dress codes, until she started dating Kanye West in 2012.

The rapper's influence on her wardrobe isn't just about giving advice, it's sometimes about controlling. Kim Kardashian once shared: "I always thought I had good taste, until I met my husband and he told me I was the worst dresser."

Still, there's no denying that Kanye West brought Kim Kardashian into the world of high fashion, giving her access to top designers and creative directors, which sparked her love for luxury fashion.

In an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians , Kanye West threw away most of Kim Kardashian's wardrobe after only a few months of dating. During their time together, he had almost complete control over her image and the clothes she wore in public.

However, after her marriage ended in 2021, Kim Kardashian proved to everyone that she is no longer someone else's style shadow.

Now, at 44, she's starting to return to the style she loved before her relationship with the controversial rapper.

Elegant pencil skirts, stylish heels, bodycon tops and trench coats are back in Kim Kardashian's wardrobe.

Fashion expert Amber Graafland said that Kim Kardashian's return to her old style is not just a hobby but also an act of rebellion, as for the first time she regained full control of her image.

Currently, the fashion style that she is showing always stands out in the front row of the shows, completely unique. Let's take a look at Kim Kardashian's recent outstanding outfits.

Kim Kardashian performed at the Balenciaga Haute Couture Fall Winter 2025 show on July 9. The 44-year-old star wore a figure-hugging ivory midi dress with lace trim, paired with a luxurious fur coat. The highlight was the gorgeous diamond jewelry set from Lorraine Schwartz with a total of more than 250 carats of diamonds, including a pair of earrings that once belonged to star Elizabeth Taylor in the movie Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) - Photo: Balenciaga

Also at Jeff Bezos' wedding on June 27, Kim Kardashian attracted media attention when wearing a classic Gianni Versace Oroton dress from the Fall 1996 collection. The body-hugging bronze design, made from Versace's signature metallic mesh, combined with thin straps and a seductive V-neckline.

At the 2024 Met Gala, Kim Kardashian wore a strapless silver design by Maison Margiela by John Galliano - featuring a waist so small it reminded her of the original Marilyn Monroe dress she wore in 2022. At that time, Kim had to follow a strict diet and exercise regimen to "shape up" to fit into this special dress - Photo: AFP

Kim Kardashian appeared on the red carpet of the 2022 Met Gala wearing the legendary evening gown that once belonged to Marilyn Monroe. The classic dress, which is very fragile, was said to have been damaged during her fitting. For preservation reasons, she only wore the original for a few minutes on the red carpet before changing into a replica for the rest of the night. Despite the controversy, this was still one of the most memorable moments in Met Gala history - Photo: AFP
