Kim Kardashian opened up about having anxiety concerning her fashion choices without input from her former husband, Ye–to whom she was married for six years.
The socialite and businesswoman discussed on Thursday's episode of Hulu's reality series, The Kardashians, how she was completely reliant on the rapper's sartorial expertise for every public appearance.
And when she styled herself for the first time in November, Kardashian claimed Ye suggested she looked like Marge Simpson, the cartoon matriarch of the long-running animated sitcom, The Simpsons.
Kanye sent Kim a picture of Marge Simpson in a dress similar to what she wore at the Wall Street Journal awards.

"I got to a point where I would ask [Ye] for advice for everything down to what I wear," she told her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, on their reality show.
“Even now I’m having panic attacks, like what do I wear?”
Kardashian admitted to feeling "nervous" when she styled herself for the first time without Ye's guidance.
For the WSJ's Innovator Awards in November, Kardashian wore a brown faux leather dress from her shapewear brand SKIMS.
Ye did not approve.
"[Ye] called me afterwards. He told me my career's over and then he showed me a picture of Marge Simpson wearing something similar," recalled Kardashian.

Kardashian admitted she has "never really been the visionary" when it came to her fashion sense, but it was Ye who conveniently filled in that gap.
She said of him:
“His love language is clothes. 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 discussed her insecurities without Ye's wardrobe advice.
"I'm trying to figure out, like, who am I in the fashion world? Who am I by myself?"
"I was always, like, The Kardashians with my sisters and then I was, like, Kimye. Like, who is Kim K? That is the jump."
"How do I get there without Kanye?"
Kardashian officially filed for divorce from Ye on February 19, 2021, and in April of the same year, they both agreed before the court they would end their marriage due to "irreconcilable differences."
They also agreed to joint custody of their four children.
She is currently dating SNL's Pete Davidson.
