It’s no secret that Kim Kardashian has taken style tips from her husband Kanye West over the past few years, even though his talent for fashion is sometimes questionable.
In fact, many seem to think Kim serves as Yeezy’s life-sized, big-bootied Barbie whose outfits he must approve on a daily basis.
But now, amid rumors that their marriage is on the rocks, Kim refuses to allow her husband to dress her for this year’s illustrious Met Gala, an annual fundraiser better known as the biggest fashion spectacle in the universe.
“Kim doesn’t want to do anything risky,” an insider told Radar Online. “She wants to wear something classic and elegant. Nothing like that floral print dress Kanye persuaded her to wear in 2013.”
Oh yeah, the maternity monstrosity that prompted many a “Who Wore It Better?” meme that compared Kim to their grandma’s couch.
“Kanye thinks he can totally push the envelope and have Kim in something very avant garde and unique,” said the insider. “The theme plays to Kanye’s strengths as a fashion designer, and it’s very frustrating that Kim isn’t falling in line.”
As a fashion designer, Kanye’s creations haven’t always been well-received. Media Takeout described his Yeezy collection as “a bunch of torn rags for $ 2,000.”
“Kanye is very vocal about Kim’s fashion choices and is hyper-critical when he doesn’t agree with how she is presenting herself,” said the source.
“They are fighting non-stop over this, and it has just gotten ridiculous.”
Apparently, Kim isn’t thrilled with the way Kanye is presenting himself either. Sources say she’s tired of his Twitter tirades and public meltdowns and wants him to get a grip.
We haven’t always loved some of Kim’s getups, but she’s a grown woman and can dress herself without the help of her child-husband. Or at least hire an actual stylist to dole out expensive red carpet advice.
