During her marriage to Kanye “Ye” West, Kim Kardashian underwent a significant transformation in her personal style. She evolved from her signature figure-hugging outfits to a more minimalist and high-fashion aesthetic. Ye played a pivotal role in this shift, famously overhauling her wardrobe by removing items he deemed outdated and introducing her to designers like Riccardo Tisci and brands such as Balmain and Yeezy. Now, it looks like Kardashian is taking her style back. Here’s what fans noticed with her wardrobe reveal.
Fans love to see Kim Kardashian return to her original style
Kim Kardashian gave fans a glimpse into her closet via her Instagram Stories at the end of May 2025. The reality TV star posted clips with her closet behind her. She showed off her new SKIMS swimsuits, including the Square Neck Bikini Top, the Dipped Bikini Bottoms, and the Push-Up Triangle Bikini Top. While fans generally approve of Kardashian’s brand of shape and swimwear, they were loving her closet behind her.
Her huge closet has glass doors that showcase what she has inside. Kardashian had purses, shoes, and clothing in a wide range of colors and styles on display, proving that she’s not sticking with the minimalist style that she adopted when married to Kanye “Ye” West. Fans noticed the difference and think it’s a sign that Kardashian is taking her life back.
“It’s not as austere or minimal,” a fan on Reddit wrote. “It makes you realize how much she suppressed her true self to please and placate Kanye. That house was her dream property … and he tore it apart — now she gets to rebuild it in her own style, and there’s something beautiful about that.”
Some fans pointed out that Kardashian might be staying in a rental property as her Hidden Hills home undergoes renovations. If this is the case, they hope she adopts the closet style and applies it to her renovated home. According to Realtor.com, the Hidden Hills mansion has been undergoing serious renovations since November 2024, which include a hefty extension.
Some fans approved of Kanye ‘Ye’ West overhauling the reality star’s wardrobe
In 2012, Kanye West took a bold step in reshaping Kim Kardashian’s wardrobe, aiming to refine her style and introduce her to high fashion. Accompanied by his stylist Renelou Padora, Ye embarked on a complete overhaul of Kardashian’s closet, removing items he deemed outdated or “uncool,” including approximately 250 pairs of shoes. Kardashian, initially resistant to part with her beloved pieces, was moved to tears during the process
Fans on Reddit reflected on the move more recently. While Kardashian cried over the process, many fans think she was “thrilled” to get new clothing that would grab the attention of designers.
“I’m sure it was hard in the moment, but she was easily thrilled about getting a new wardrobe, and it paid off,” a fan on Reddit wrote. “Suddenly, she was getting recognized by designers, dressed by designers, etc.”
“That closet clear-out turned Kim from D-list reality star to A-list fashion icon award winner,” another fan wrote. “People love to hate on Kanye, but he changed her life and elevated the whole family.”
Kanye ‘Ye’ West and Kim Kardashian designed the Hidden Hills property to be stark and minimal
Kanye “Ye” West and Kim Kardashian bought their Hidden Hills property in 2014. When the couple divorced in 2022, Kardashian bought the home and its belongings for $23 million, according to People.
Collaborating with Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt, the couple transformed the property into a serene, monochromatic sanctuary. The home features whitewashed walls, pale oak floors, and sculptural furniture, creating a space that Kardashian describes as a “minimal monastery.”
“Kanye and Kim wanted something totally new,” the designer explained, according to Architectural Digest. “We didn’t talk about decoration, but a kind of philosophy about how we live now and how we will live in the future. We changed the house by purifying it, and we kept pushing to make it purer and purer.”
Unfortunately, North West, the eldest daughter of Kardashian and Ye, has made it known that she dislikes the house. “Every time I get into some kind of disagreement with my daughter North, she thinks this is a dig to me: She’ll say, ‘Your house is so ugly, it’s all white! Who lives like this?’ She just thinks it, like, gets to me, and it is kind of mean because I like my house,” Kardashian confessed on Ellen DeGeneres’ Mom Confessions web series.
