The Kanye West Guidebook 11 Times Kim Followed It (+ 9 Times She Rebelled)

Kanye West is a difficult man to please. GQ got the message when they covered Kanye's hotel room demands- imported black Versace towels and ironed carpets that aren't "too bumpy". Looking at that, you could argue that Kanye landed himself the perfect wife. Kim wore vintage Versace to 2 Chainz's 2018 wedding (and yes, it was at the Versace Mansion in Miami).

KimYe have been married since 2012. They tied the knot in a lavish Italian wedding that came with a #Kardashian price tag. Kim's $400,000 custom-made Valentino wedding dress and a $7000 cake were a drop in the ocean for a bash that Pop Sugar estimates to have cost $2.8 million.

The real million dollar question? What goes on inside this couple's marriage (not to mention the whole family). Kim is a headstrong, hard-hitting businesswoman who made $5 million "in 5 minutes," magazines like Glamour report. That's KKW Fragrance for you. Kanye has yet to prove his Twitter claim that "Yeezy will hit a billion this year," but the guy does okay for himself.

Kanye is rarely seen dishing out any rules to Kim, but there's enough floating around to suggest that there's a bit of a guidebook. If it exists, it extends to Kim's entire family (yes, that's the kids, too). Here are 15 of Kanye's guidelines the Kardashians are following, plus 5 times they said: "Thank U, Next."

20 Followed: "Kanye Prefers Me Without Makeup"

That's a tough one coming from a bonafide beauty queen. Kim Kardashian has turned dabbling with makeup into a business that earned her "millions in minutes." "I'm a makeup junkie, but Kanye prefers me without it," Kim has admitted, as Independent reports.

Kim saying she'd wear makeup 24/7 if she could. "I love contouring my nose," she added.

Kim is as passionate regarding KKW Beauty as Kylie Jenner is over Kylie Cosmetics. There's a difference, though. Namely, Kanye's preferences. "My husband loves me without makeup" are Kim's words, though. In this pic, looks like she was abiding.

19 Rebelled: KKW Beauty Was Just Too Tempting

With those KKW Beauty contouring kits flying off shelves (and pics like these floating around), it's beginning to look like Kim is taking Kanye's preferences with a pinch of salt.

KKW Beauty earned Kim $5 million in 5 minutes. Cheer up, Kanye. There's a positive side.

"I hate when women wear the wrong foundation color. It might be the worst thing on the planet when they wear their makeup too light," Bustle quotes Kim as saying. It wasn't going to happen. A woman who is this passionate about makeup? Here is Kim glamming it up.

18 Followed: Your Style Will Be Yeezy

North West does not look amused. The toddler days might be over for North, but they marked something that's gotten pretty huge- the Yeezy wardrobe.

"No daddy it's me [sic] necklace" was a caption to a pic of North wearing a Yeezy-style chain in 2015, as Elle reports. Kanye's influence was gaining speed.

Kim is now rarely seen without at least one item from the latest #YeezyDrop. Cargo jackets. Leggings. Sock booties. Kim might as well be a full-time Yeezy employee. Joining her are Khloe and Kourtney. Kendall and Kylie are mostly about the footwear, but the Yeezy grip is alive and well. They're still undeniably stylish.

17 Rebelled: Your Hangout Spot Is A Parking Lot

A tiny part of us wants to #HighFive this decision- purely from a marketing perspective. Yeezy is super pared-down. Something about a backdrop that could easily be your Saturday Walmart run is just working.

Genius marketing it might be, but seriously? Do multi-millionaires prefer blistering-hot parking lots or their air-conditioned mansions?

Kylie Jenner is now worth $900 million. Her "Youngest Self-Made Billionaire" Forbes cover certainly wasn't shot in a parking lot. Kylie wore red-soled Christian Louboutins amid a sea of marbles and mahoganies (as any billionaire would). The Yeezy manual? Nope, you hang out in parking lots.

16 Rebelled: Kanye "Hates The Colour Pink" #Checkmate

Oh, is Kim a force to be reckoned with. Given the report that Kanye "hates" the colour pink, she couldn't have chosen a more #InYourFace outfit. This 2018 NYC look saw Kim channel her love of all things pink (and all things athleisurewear).

"Kim had always loved wearing pink before meeting Kanye," an insider told Radar Online, as Baby Gaga reports. "But he hates the color."

Come to think of it, Kim has worn a lot of pink lately. There was that pink Chanel bodysuit that she wore on vacation in 2018. Kim also wore pink satin to Kylie Jenner's 21st birthday. Oops.

15 Followed: Kanye Likes His Laundry "Washed Separately" (Carpets Mustn't Be Too "Bumpy")

We're all slightly quirky when it comes to laundry. Not Sheldon Cooper quirky, but we've got our preferences. So too, apparently, does Kanye.

Big W News reports that Kanye insists on having his clothes washed separately because when he shared a load with Kim, his shirt turned pink in the wash. Kanye's laundry load now comes with a #Mine.

Carpets, though? Those must absolutely not be #Bumpy. GQ reports black imported Versace towels and ironed carpets that "aren't too bumpy" as Kanye's hotel demands.

14 Followed: No Phones At The Dinner Table

For a woman who loves phones so much, her KUWTK doctor told her that selfies were the cause of her Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, #Ouch. "Kanye didn't have a phone for four years," Kim told Paper "I learned from him to not really bring my phone." She went on to add,

"We have rules at the table. If we are eating at a restaurant, we'll wait to do it (take pictures) when we are done eating. He's taught me to take a little time for myself, and I've taught him [to] stop a little more to take time and take pictures and stuff.

I think we've both taught each other a lot, and it's kept it at a good balance."

13 Followed: If You're A Kardashian Kid, You Get Your Phone "After Breakfast"

Screen time is just as much an issue in the Kardashian household as any regular one.

As People reports, Kim has said that too much screen time is dangerous, "especially for kids in their minds - and they're so fragile and so young -  that there has to be rules."

One of the rules? “[For kids], maybe the phones are in the kitchen so that when they wake up they have breakfast with the family and then they get their phones," she added.

12 Rebelled: Don't Post Certain Kinds Of Pics (Looks Like Kim's Doing It Anyway)

This has got to be tough. Relationships are private. To be married and have your partner posting the world's most revealing pics for her 122 million Instagram followers? No wonder Kim admitted to Ellen Degeneres that Kanye is bugged out about this.

"Sometimes, you just gotta do things for the gram."

Kim admitted that her revealing pictures "bother" Kanye. Speaking on The Ellen Show (after Ellen pointed out those "baking" pics of Kim in next to nothing), Kim said: "And you can get into trouble with your husband sometimes over too many photos like that." Kim added that Kanye wants her to be herself, but that he equally "gets upset."

11 Followed: Names Must Be "Short" And "Easy To Spell"

2018 has thrown us some pretty epic celeb baby names. Cardi B chose Kulture. Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott chose Stormi. Khloe Kardashian is now a mommy to True.

Speaking on The Ellen Show, Kim said that names in the KimYe world are "short, easy to spell, one syllable," as OK reports.

North is short and one syllable. So is Saint. Chicago kind of breaks the mould, but it's hardly complicated. We also can't help but notice that none of KimYe's three children have middle names.

10 Followed: Don't Speak To The Bodyguard (Kim Spoke To The Bodyguard, Kanye "Fired" Him)

Security is a giant deal when you're a Kardashian. Following Kim's harrowing 2016 robbery, everything got re-evaluated. Kim even told Ellen that she felt it was, on some level, "deserved."

In 2016, The Daily Mail reported that Kim's bodyguard has been fired by Kanye for "talking to her." The whole thing turned into a giant #Drama as the ex-bodyguard claimed "I didn't hit on Kim!"

Steve Stanulis (no longer Kim's bodyguard) went onto call Kanye "self-absorbed" and saying that Kanye needs to "chill the [… ] out." Presumably, Kim steers well clear of chatting to security now.

9 Rebelled: All Eyes On Kanye (After Kim Was Caught Texting During A Concert)

Those rap lines that say: "Recognize?" It's starting to make sense. In 2015, Metro reported the latest "rule" that Kanye was supposedly imposing on Kim. Look at him the entire time while he's on stage.

Kim must "never let her gaze leave the stage," Radar Online reported. "She's supposed to look mesmerized by his genius."

The report continues to state that Kim was spotted texting during one of Kanye's gigs. "Kanye was furious and told her how disrespectful it is to him as an artist." Kim is said to have been "terrified to speak to someone when he's in the audience."

8 Followed: No Talk About Exes, Definitely No Communicating With Them

Let's face it. Nobody wants to hear about the ex. If it's over dinner on a first date, it can easily be a deal-breaker. Her Beauty circulated this as-yet-unconfirmed rumour (although we have to say, we can kind of see it).

Kim is said not to be permitted to mention or communicate with her exes. And she's got a fair few. Kim was married to Kris Humphries for just 72 days following her first failed marriage to Damon Thomas.

Kim seems to have put her previous marriages behind her. It's like a different era now. And with this set of guidelines, no chance of it taking any other direction!

7 Followed: "Kanye Threw Out My Entire Cheesy Wardrobe," Looks Like Kanye Literally Wears The Trousers

There's no denying that Kim's wardrobe has had a giant revamp. The girl who used to exclusively dress herself in clingy minis (and anything Paris Hilton was wearing) now wears leggings, oversized jackets, Yeezy bras and sock boots. As reported by Shemazing, Kim said:

"I said to Kanye: Well, I'm going to save them for my daughter one day. And he said: 'Well, if it's going to be our daughter, she's never going to wear those!'"

Kim admitted that "he probably thought they were a bit cheesy." Elle put it more bluntly, simply stating: "Kanye made Kim throw out all her clothes for the sake of their unborn child."

6 Followed: A Yeezy Showcase In Japan

The Kardashian Japan trip of 2018 might well top the year's high-profile travels. Kim, Kourtney and a pregnant Khloe flew out to Japan for the world's most kaleidoscopic showcasing of Yeezy, although reactions to the futuristic outfits were pretty mixed.

Silver spandex. Unicorn-pink hair. Vogue's "ugly" sneakers. That was some wardrobe. KUWTK even showed us a stressed-out Kim complaining how exhausted she was about all the outfit changes.

Personally, we wouldn't turn down a trip to Japan. #VacationVibes might have been what we saw here, but it was #OnTheJob for all three Kardashians here. Khloe was about to pop!

5 Rebelled: Kim's Own Opinions? "Disgusted" At Her Sisters' Japan Outfits ("You Look Like Clowns")

"It's actually embarrassing. I can't even eat dinner because I'm so disgusted with my sisters' crazy outfits," Kim said, as Huffington Post reports.

She continued, "My sisters look so crazy. Kourtney with the Japanese-inspired outfit, and Khloé is wearing silver sequins, turquoise eyeshadow, huge chandelier earrings - they're just like, completely clashing and making my outfit look really bad and they're ruining everything.”

4 Followed: "You Should Be Studying This Book. Like, This Is The Fashion Bible"

Pregnancy is probably the one time in a woman's life when the world's oldest sweats and the couch aren't up for debate. Skin-tight Yeezy dresses and lace-up heels saw Kim's pregnancies come with a #YeezyBump.

Kim has credited Kanye with "changing everything" about her look, as Hollywood Life reports. No kidding. By the time Kim was pregnant with Saint, we barely saw a pregnancy outfit that wasn't straight out the Yeezy catalog. Kim pulled them off, though.

She adds, "I remember one day, [Kanye] brought me [former Vogue Paris editor and current CR Fashion Book editor] Carine Roitfeld's book and was like, 'You should be, like, studying this book, this is, like, the fashion bible.' And I was like, 'Who is Carine?' I knew nothing. And he said, 'Watch, one day she's going to style you.'”

3 Rebelled: Kim Wanted North On The Show, Kanye Disagreed

On-screen or off, the cameras follow this family everywhere. Back in 2014, Kim and Kanye appeared to have a major disagreement when it came to having North on KUWTK.

"Kim really wants to put North on the show," a Radar Online source told The Daily Mail. "Viewers and fans of the show want to see Kim interact with her daughter."

Kanye? Not so keen, apparently. "Once Kanye came on the scene, that all changed," the newspaper continued. "Kanye shuts Kim down whenever she brings it up." Kanye didn't want North to "ever" appear on the show. Looks like Kim won.

2 Rebelled: "You're Not Going To Tell Me What To Post," Kanye Attempts To "Oversee" Pics

You might have noticed a recent string of super-revealing beach pics on Kim's Instagram. Don't think getting them posted was an easy deal. "He wanted me to post six polaroids from that shoot," Kim said on KUWTK, as Metro reports. "But I posted one from the beach."

"I'm like, 'I like the beach ones,' and he's like, 'No! You don't understand. I see the vision,'"

she said about Kanye. Kim continued, saying: "He wanted them to all match up and be from the motel, that's what the [… ] fight was about."

1 (Possibly) Rebelled: Kanye "Wants Seven Children," Kim Is Winning So Far

The Kardashians are unlikely to ever become the Duggars. That said, the babies are racking up. KimYe are now parents to North (aged 5), Saint (aged 3), and Chicago (who will turn 1 in 2019).

"Kanye wants to have more, though," Kim said on KUWTK in 2018. She called the idea "crazy, especially in like, the world we live in."

How many more? "He wants, like, seven. He's like, stuck on seven," Kim said, as Cosmopolitan reports. Kim is now 38 years old. Her third pregnancy was via a surrogate for health reasons. Seven- not impossible. Hardly likely, though.
