Kanye's dramatic U-turn on wife's naked outfits after 'soul hurt' over Kim Kardashian's looks

Kanye West once said his 'soul hurt' when he saw his then-wife Kim Kardashian dressing in revealing outfits but he's had a change of heart when it comes to his current spouse's lack of clothing

Rapper Kanye West has seemingly had a change of heart when it comes to how his wife dresses.

During his time married to ex-wife Kim Kardashian, Kanye had some very vocal opinions regarding how he likes the lady in his life to look. The Yeezus rapper, 47, even went as far to say his "soul hurt" when he saw the mother of his four children dressing in skimpy clothing.

But these days Kanye is a fan of the 'less is more' approach and appears to love seeing his current wife Bianca Censori out and about wearing as little as is legally possible. The pair caused a seen at the Grammys on Sunday night as Bianca basically posed nude on the red carpet, with Kanye going on to proud share snaps of his near-naked wife on social media.

Kanye previously adopted a more conservative approach when it came his spouse's style choices. In a 2019 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kanye can be seen telling his then-wife Kim how he'd preferred to cover up more in public and admit he wasn't a fan of her racy looks.

In the scenes, the dad-of-four admits that he feels "affected" when Kim dresses too provocatively and voiced his concerns about Kim's daring Met Gala outfit. Kim had to wear an extreme corset for her Costume Institute Gala look - designed by Thierry Mugler - and joked that if she needed to pee, she'd have to wet herself and get one of her sisters to wipe her leg.

However, Kanye seemed more concerned about the revealing nature of her dress. The couple ended up arguing over Kim's look, leaving her riddled with "anxiety", especially as her outfit was set to land her first solo US Vogue cover. Kanye, 42, frowned at Kim's dress and told her it didn't align with his personal evolution.

He said: "I just made this transition from being a rapper, looking at all these girls, looking at my wife. Like, 'Oh, my girl needs to be like the other girls, showing her body off'. I didn't realise that that was affecting my soul and my spirit as someone that's married and loved, and the father of now, what - about to be four kids?"

The argument occurred before the couple welcomed their fourth child, Psalm, via surrogate. Kanye added: "A corset is like a form of underwear. It's hot. It's like, it's hot for who, though? " But Kim wasn't pleased with his last-minute criticisms. She was left feeling anxious when her then-husband expressed his discomfort with her Met Gala look the night before the event.

She vented, "So the night before the Met, you're gonna come in here and say that you're not into a corset bust? I'm getting really bad anxiety. What are you talking about? " and added, "I don't need any more negative energy for you to now say that you're not into me in a tight dress."

Kanye retorted, "You are my wife, and it affects me when pictures are too sexy." But Kim reminded him assertively that he played a role in creating her confident image: "You built me up to be this sexy person and confidence and all this stuff."

Despite her explanation that his personal journey does not dictate her style, asserting, "And just because you're on a journey and you're on a transformation doesn't mean that I'm in the same spot with you." Kanye departed simply saying, "All right, cool." Kim's final remark on the matter was clear: "That's absolutely ridiculous."

Six years on, Kanye and his wife Bianca courted controversy at the 67th Grammy Awards on Sunday, with a provocative display that could exacerbate tensions with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. The rapper, who received two nominations but no wins at the high-profile event in Los Angeles, opted for an understated ensemble, donning an all-black outfit consisting of a T-shirt, jeans, trainers, and shades.

However, it was his wife Bianca who generated the most buzz, shedding her black fluffy coat to reveal a daringly sheer mesh slip dress that left very little to the imagination. Speculation abounded that the couple was requested to leave due to being uninvited, with whispers suggesting police involvement, but it was later confirmed they were not asked to depart.

Bianca's fashion choices could potentially land her in trouble not just with Kim, but also with the law. According to California Penal Code 314(1), indecent exposure is defined as "when a person exposes his or her naked body or genitals in front of anyone who could be annoyed or offended by it. It also states that the act must be " The act must also be "wilful and lewd" to be considered a crime.

For a conviction of indecent exposure, a person must meet specific criteria: "intentionally expose your genitals or naked body; expose yourself in front of someone who might be offended or annoyed by it; intend to direct attention to yourself; and intend to sexually gratify yourself or offend someone else when you do it."
