Kanye West didn't hold back when it came to criticising his ex-wife's outfits following their divorce.

The 47-year-old brutally told Kim Kardashian that her 'career was over' and said she resembled Marge Simpson after she styled herself for an appearance on Saturday Night Live.

Despite his damning critique, the businesswoman is still booked and busy these days - and just this week, a 60ft blow-up doll depicting her was erected in the centre of Times Square.

West was married to the reality star, 44, for nearly seven years before their divorce was finalised in November 2022.

The demise of the couple - who share children North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm together - was highly publicised and involved a lot of outbursts on West's side.

Still, they were keen to make a go of the the co-parenting thing and stayed in communication for the sake of their kids... and Kardashian's style.

West, who often used to refer to the Skims founder as his 'muse', has been heavily involved in his former wife's outfit choices since they first met.

Fans will recall how he cleared out her entire closet in a 2012 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians and gifted her a host of new clothes.

Speaking of him revamping her wardrobe during an appearance on Live With Kelly and Michael in 2015, Kardashian said: "I walked in my room and there was an entire room filled with all new clothes and all the stuff he wanted to fill back up my closet with and it was really cool new designers - I hadn’t even heard of some of these designers before.

"It really helped me fall in love with fashion. I eventually did get rid of most of that stuff and my style has totally evolved and changed, but I didn’t see it at the time, I had to work it out myself."

Little did Kardashian know, she'd end up going right back to the drawing board with her style when she split from West a few years later.

The pair's divorce was somewhat documented on the Hulu series, The Kardashians, and she gave viewers an insight into how she was coping amid the break-up.

In footage which was filmed in November 2021, which then aired in May 2022, the mother-of-four said she was feeling a bit lost as she usually turned to West for advice on 'everything'.

"I got to a point where I would ask him for advice for everything - down to what I wear," she told her sister Kourtney Kardashian. "Even now I’m having panic attacks like, what do I wear?"

The socialite went on to reveal that the 'Blame Game' rapper had styled her for her October 2021 appearance on Saturday Night Live.

However, Kardashian said that she had taken the reins in the fashion department herself when it came to choosing what to wear for the Wall Street Journal Magazine Innovator Awards the following month.

She said: "I was like, ‘How do I wear something that hasn’t been pre-vetted first?' Like, it was like psychologically [hard]."

Kardashian ended up sporting a brown leather dress from her Skims x Fendi collection, which she paired with matching gloves and snakeskin-print heeled boots.

Telling her sister she was 'so nervous' about her attire being slated, Kardashian then explained that West had been in touch to share a scathing review of her outfit.

"He called me afterwards," she said. "He told me my career is over and then he showed me a picture of Marge Simpson wearing something similar."

Kardashian went on to tell viewers in her confessional that although she has 'always been really into' fashion, she has 'never been the creative'.

"I definitely see what I like but I’ve never really been the visionary," she explained. "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. But, it’s not just about clothes. That was like the last thing we had really in common."

She then spoke of how she was struggling to navigate her own personal style after receiving constant direction for around a decade.

"I was always 'The Kardashians' with my sisters, and then I was 'Kimye'," she said. "Like, who is Kim K? That is the jump. How do I get there without Kanye?

“When I filed for divorce, it’s been like 10 months now," she said at the time. "And I am finally just stepping out [and] being like, I can do this."
