Julia Fox, an ex of Kanye West, made some pretty damning comments about how he would "make" her wear certain outfits.
It's no secret that Kanye has some very out-of-the-box ideas when it comes to how he dresses, but does that also extend to his partners?
Recent events involving his current wife Bianca Censori would suggest that it does, as she left people open-mouthed at the Grammys.

Standing alongside Kanye, Censori was originally dressed in a black fur coat, but when she removed it, people were stunned.
Underneath, she wore a sheer dress made from delicate, stocking-like material.
She complimented the look, or lack of, with see-through flip-flop heels, slicked-back hair, and minimal makeup.
Censori met Kanye in 2020 while working as an architectural designer for his Yeezy brand. At the time, the rapper was still married to Kim Kardashian, with whom he shares four children.
Kardashian filed for divorce in 2021, and after months of legal proceedings, the split was finalized in November 2022. Just weeks later, in December 2022, Kanye reportedly married Censori in a private ceremony.
But how much does Kanye try to influence his partners' outfits?

Julia Fox, who dated Kanye for two months in early 2022, detailed her experiences in her memoir Down the Drain, published in October 2023, cited by the Daily Mail.
She claimed that West appointed a team to oversee her outfits and took a hands-on approach to determining what she wore in public.
"He appoints a team to work on my wardrobe," Fox wrote. "I immediately think of an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians where he did the same thing for his estranged wife in their early stages of dating. This is all so surreal."
She alleged that Kanye even enlisted two of her best friends as personal stylists, instructing them on how she should dress for public appearances.
On one occasion, Fox recalled being on a date with West when one of the stylists arrived unexpectedly with a "mountain of clothes."
"To my surprise, I find [the stylist] in the bathroom with a mountain of clothes. I'm happy to see her, but it's a little strange he didn't just tell me he didn't like my original outfit," she wrote.
Fox also claimed that Kanye suggested she undergo breast augmentation because an outfit "didn't fit quite right."
Reflecting on the moment, the actress, who is a mother of one, declined the offer.
"I look at myself in the mirror, taking in my post-baby body. They’re not so bad, I think to myself," she wrote.
Their whirlwind romance, which played out in the public eye, saw the couple attend high-profile events such as Paris Fashion Week in 2022. However, Fox ultimately felt like she was being used for publicity.
"I regret that relationship so much. I hate it! It was only a few weeks but enough to last me a lifetime. I was in probably the most uncomfortable position in my life and that’s saying a lot. I don’t want to be known for being anyone’s girlfriend," she admitted.
Fox also revealed she was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) regarding their relationship - something she refused to do.
