Kanye West’s reversion to Christianity is having a ripple effect within his own family. His wife, Kim Kardashian West, who became famous largely because of her curvacious figure, which she often shows off in clingy attire, says she’s making the transition to more “modest” clothing because of her husband’s commitment to living a more moral life.

West and Kardashian West got involved in a heated argument over Kim’s dress for the 2019 Met Gala, and the argument aired on an episode of Kardashian West’s reality television program, “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” The dress, a creation of 90s icon Thierry Mugler, in line with the Gala’s “camp” theme, was designed to make Kardashian West appear wet and naked, dripping with water droplets made from handcut crystals.

Kardashian West admitted that the dress was impractical, telling West that she couldn’t sit or use the bathroom while wearing it (let alone breathe normally, thanks to a tight corset embedded in the dress’s bodice), and West fired back that he felt the dress wasn’t appropriate for public consumption.

“I didn’t realize that that was affecting my soul and my spirit as someone that’s married and loved, the father of what’s about to be four kids,” West said. “A corset is a form of underwear. It’s hot. It’s like, it’s hot for who though?”

In that episode, Kardashian West refused to change her ways — likely because her body has been her source of revenue — and West stormed out of the room. But on an episode of “The Real,” that aired last week, Kardashian West told the hosts that she has since had a change of heart and is dressing more modestly.

“I do think that, you know, he is my husband, so I obviously want to honor him and what he’s feeling. And he’s been going through this life change, and it’s mostly about the kids,” she said.

The family has also made other changes, controlling more carefully what their children consume.

“We got rid of TVs in the kids’ rooms and removed makeup from North’s room. And he’s been very, had this, you know, epiphany of being this — not that he wasn’t an amazing dad — but being a little bit more strict as a dad and being very forceful on the imagery that’s in our household and what they see,” Kim added. “I think, at the end of the day, that’s what marriage is. He’s gonna do things that I don’t agree with, and I support him, and vice versa.”

Kardashian West is also trying to rebuild her career and reframe her image as more “serious” now that she’s taken on the role of public ambassador for criminal justice reform. Her visits to the White House and her recent admission to law school have made Kardashian West consider dressing more professionally, she says.

It is, of course, an odd change. Kardashian West — and, to some extent, Kanye West — both made their fortunes on the degredation of culture, and Kardashian West, especially, is famous because of her (and her family’s) lack of modesty.
