Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s divorce has pulled off a smattering of famous types in its class (Trevor Noah, Hillary Clinton, and of course Pete Davidson), but we never expected the former couple to bring Marge Simpson into their mess Had not.
In the most recent episode of the famous family’s new Hulu series, “The Kardashians,” the reality TV star expressed concerns about charting new fashion territory without West, whom she divorced in February 2021 after six years of marriage. .
The Yeezy founder was instrumental in transforming his ex-wife’s style—he demanded she purge an entire closet of clothes months into their relationship—and almost every outfit she wore in public until their split. hand-picked.
“I got to a point where I consulted her about everything I wear,” Kardashian told sister Kourtney on Wednesday’s episode. “I’m still having panic attacks, like what should I wear?”
Kardashian was left to her own devices for last year’s WSJ. Magazine’s Innovator Awards, where she was honored for her shapewear brand SKIMS. The brown leather dress, which she accessorized with matching gloves and over-the-knee snakeskin boots, however, received less than favorable reviews from the West.

“He called me later,” Kardashian said. “He told me my career was over and then he showed me a picture of Marge Simpson wearing something similar.”
It’s unclear which photo West was referring to, but viewers took to Twitter to quickly come up with a few options after the episode aired.
Simpson, we should note, is a bit of a fashion trailblazer in her own right, rocking couture from luxury fashion house Balenciaga on an animated runway last year.
In later episodes, Kardashian seemed to discover her own style-of-style, but admitted that she “has never really been a visionary” when it comes to fashion.
“Her love language is clothes,” she said of West. “I always just trusted him, but it’s not just about the clothes. That was the last thing we really had in common. ,
“I’m trying to figure out who am I in the fashion world? Who am I myself?” She continued. “I was always like The Kardashians with my sisters and then I was like Kimye. Like, who is Kim K? This is the leap. How do I get there without Kanye?”
If her recent Met Gala outfit is any indication, the Kardashians are doing just fine in the fashion department. She caused all sorts of conversation when she walked into the vintage gown worn by Marilyn Monroe at President John F. Kennedy’s birthday celebration in 1962.

Kardashian attended the event with boyfriend, “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson, who began dating in the fall following her hosting debut on the late-night sketch show.
In their new relationship, Kardashian has assumed the role of West, with Davidson joking on the red carpet that she “didn’t let me wear my propeller hat, but that’s okay.”
