The Kanye West Effect: Ye's Style Influence on the Ladies He Loves from Amber Rose to Kim Kardashian to Julia Fox

Kanye's Style Influence on the Women He Dates is Palpable and Undeniable

Claire Sulmers

Jan 24

Kanye West has been making his mark on Paris Men's Fashion and Paris Couture Fashion Week with a new girlfriend in tow: Julia Fox. And in true Kanye Fashion, his stylish penchants have already rubbed off on the young actress, artist, model, and filmmaker, who said on her Forbidden Fruits podcast, " Honey, I've dated billionaires my entire adult life, let's keep it real.”

Kanye has a tendency to be very directional when it comes to the style choices of his muses. Outside of normal coupledom, Kanye acts as creative director, with him sticking to neutrals in the background, while his ladies shine in classic colors, combos, and fabric choices.

Take a look at some of Kanye's style hits:

  1. Denim on Denim

West and Julia Fox appeared together at the Kenzo Spring 2022 show, with Kanye in denim Balenciaga, and Fox in Schiaparelli Spring 2022. While West skews a bit more classic, the ladies are always taking the high fashion route, wearing runway or custom creations.

West and ex wife Kim Kardashian similarly coordinated in blue, with Kanye playing subtly next to Kim in custom Burberry by Riccardo Tisci at the WSJ Mag 2019 Innovator Awards.

Back in 2010, then girlfriend Amber Rose posed next to Kanye at the Dior Homme show in her own Texas Tuxedo, and an iconic Louis Vuitton fur muff. Again, Kanye kept it simple in white denim, with a glorious coat (do you see that coat?!?).

  1. Lady in Red

A woman should always have one ravishing red dress in their arsenal, especially if they plan to step out with Mr. West.

Kim K is no stranger to a sultry red number! She shared many crimson moments with her hubby, but one of her best would have to be the Balmain ensemble she wore to the Roc Nation Grammy Brunch in 2015.

A red ensemble is a must! Cue Amber Rose, who attended the 2009 Met Gala as Kanye's date in a gorgeous red gown with a sweetheart neckline. What a beauty!

  1. Black on Black

Black on black is always chic! Julia Fox checked all the right boxes at the Schiaparelli Haute Couture show wearing a design by the brand, while Kanye rocked a full on Face Mask and what have become his signature boots.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have certainly donned all black both together and separately over the course of their courtship and marriage. During Paris Fashion Week in 2015, Kanye skewed simple while Kim looked sassy in a lace up Givenchy top and boots.

As for Kanye and Amber, their all black was a bit more snazzy, with Kanye in studded Louboutin shoes and Amber in a barely there dress.

Whoever West steps out with always causes heads to turn, and Fox is no exception. We can't wait to see what the pair wears next.

As for us pedestrians, perhaps we can take notes: Have a red dress on deck, a black on black look is a classic, and if you're adventurous, try your luck with a bit of denim on denim love.
