"I am God's vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live." Kanye West is a man with an ego. The rapper has been proving it one statement tweet at a time, although fans will be more than familiar with Kanye's confidence from his lyrics.

Kanye West has been using Kim Kardashian to promote the Yeezy apparel line from day one. This isn't a suggestion – it's a fact. Before we can say "drop," that marketing genius of a wife will have her social media buzzing with #YeezyVibes. Kanye might claim to be "blessed," but in many ways, he is. Kim doesn't come alone. Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall, Kylie, Kris Jenner, and all of the extended family make up the Kardashian-Jenner clan.

These Versace-lovers are experiencing a weird wardrobe intrusion, though. With each passing day, the Kardashian-Jenners are ditching their Italian luxury for an all-matte, very beige wardrobe of torn sweats, unicolor overalls, and whatever it is that Yeezy calls "fashion." Bringing us everything from bizarre puffer jackets to spandex shorts, the robocop Yeezy look has had some fans calling "ridiculous."

Kim doesn't respond to the trolling. Khloe and the rest of the sisters seem less tied to the Yeezy chain, but their shackles are there. From Khloe's pregnancy wardrobe and the awkward Kylie and Kendall looks to Kim's statement outfits, we've scooped up the best, the funniest, and the straight-up crazy. Here are 20 Kardashian outfits that were likely dictated by Kanye.

20 Once You Go Yeezy, You Don't Go Back

Kanye knows what he's doing. 119 million of us are following Kim Kardashian on Instagram– anything she posts gets seen. The woman whose KKW Beauty line sold out in just 3 minutes is a hard-hitting businesswoman, but there's one area that Kim doesn't seem to get a say in.

"I'm getting a little bit nervous, just because there's so many looks for this campaign." Season 15 of KUWTK showed us a Japan trip entirely organized to promote Yeezy. Kim was joined by Kourtney and a pregnant Khloe – no, being heavily pregnant doesn't get you off the hook. Kim was "disgusted" with her sisters' outfits, according to People.

19 Grab Them While They're Young

Kylie Jenner appears to do her best to stay well out of the Yeezy trap. Maybe it's because her $900 million make her the richest Kardashian-Jenner. Maybe she found a way of telling Kanye that $300 Yeezy leggings just aren't up to her Versace standards.

Over-the-knee boots and loose sweatshirts? Ariana Grande did it first.

Ariana actually wears a surprising amount of Yeezy. The Sweetener singer sticks to accessorizing that ponytail with Yeezy sweatshirts, though. This "lampshade" look from Kylie hit the mark for once-trendy corsets, but the feel is forced. Kylie seems much happier in her Givenchy sweats, Alexander Wang dresses, and eye-popping rubber pinks.

18 You Don't Own It Til' You Clone It

If you've seen Kim showcasing the #YeezyDrop, you may have noticed something. For reasons that we'll never quite understand, the location of choice seems to be parking lots.

These people live in California's most-exclusive zip code. The Yeezy line even sells sweaters with "Calabasas" scrawled across the sleeve. Presumably, "streetwear" is best showcased in the street for Kanye. In 2018, Kim and Kylie formed some pretty comical clones as they braved the Calabasas parking lot for this look.

$400 leggings, $140 tees, and $500 sock boots are what you're seeing. Giant profit margins from mass factory production are probably more the reality. #QuestionableQuality?

17 You Haven't Aced It Until You're Basic

Let's be very clear– Kim Kardashian is anything but basic. Mock her all you like, but this hard-working woman has risen from being Paris Hilton's stylist to being one of the world's biggest style icons. When $350 million is walking around parking lots in basic palettes and chunky hoodies though, you can't help but wonder what's going on.

"Yeezy is the 2nd fastest growing company in history," said Kanye West.

The Yeezy Supply's color palette is an incredibly "basic" range of muted tans, grays, and browns. This blue might be more up Kim's street, but it's missing Kim's favorite showpiece– skin.

16 Kim Marches To A Yeezy Beat

Hey– beats can be powerful. Beats by Dre has made this rapper close to a billion dollars. Kanye has made some pretty aspirational claims about Yeezy footwear, not least of which saw him say: "Yeezy will be the biggest apparel company in human history."

Whether that comes true is yet to be seen. All we're seeing here though is a super-stylish, self-starting woman in $150 nylon slides. Kim Kardashian has paid her dues. She has climbed the ranks. And for what? To wear cheap-looking fabric while her Gucci sits in the closet? This decidedly "non-glamorous" look wasn't one that Kim could delete. The press got there first.

15 And Her Husband Has Matching Feet

The internet basically ripped Kanye West apart with this one. In 2018, KimYe made a very high-profile appearance at 2Chainz's wedding to Kesha Ward. Given that the ceremony took place at the Gianni Versace mansion in Miami, Kim took the day off Yeezy to rock up in this vintage Versace gown. The $150 Yeezy Nylon slides are never far, though.

"I am currently the single highest-paid person in footwear," said Kanye West.

Slides and a Louis Vuitton suit were Kanye's outfit. Fans noted that the shoes seemed too small for Kanye, but the comments were mostly about how wildly inappropriate the footwear was for the situation.

14 No Way Kendall Picked This

Kendall Jenner is used to runway shows. This model is booked in for 3 or 4 of them a year, but she's used to higher standards. Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, and Givenchy are the kinds of designers that Kendall walks for– Karl Lagerfeld even picked Kendall to close his Chanel couture show.

In 2016, the Kardashian-Jenners were rounded up for the Yeezy Season 3 show in New York City. The entire family was subject to a bizarre set of outfits, from oversized furs and sheer tops to this ripped dress from Kendall. By and large, Kendall makes her own fashion choices. Yeezy Boost 350s are her limit.

13 Kim Looks A Little Uncomfortable

You might not follow Yeezy, but Yeezy follows you. In 2018, Kim and Kourtney treated the kids to a Disneyland outing– Elle wrote that Kim was "dressed like a tradie." The high-vis athleisurewear was pretty risky for a Versace-loving style queen, and this look definitely got mixed reviews.

When a Disneyland trip turns into a Yeezy fashion show, you've got to question it. Wait, is that fashion?

Kim wore silver bike shorts, Vogue's "ugly sneaker trend," and the full "dad" look. Elle even suggested that it was "safe to assume" that the entire look came from Kanye's collection. Kim just didn't look happy.

12 When Kanye Got Two For The Price Of One

Who doesn't love a two-for-one deal, right? Power lies in numbers– it's part of the whole Kardashian success. These sisters discreetly promote each other in an endless carousel. Kylie has her KoKo cosmetics collections. Kendall's "recommended" beauty products include Kim's KKW Beauty line. The music to Khloe's Good American ad? It's Kanye West.

Kanye got a cracking deal with this duo pic of Kim and Kylie. One 37 year-old (who takes care of anyone in their 30s and 40s). One soon-to-be-billionaire 21 year-old (who has the entire world hooked on her IG). Nobody wants to Shop This Look. The Kardashians had no choice.

11 When Kanye Got The Other Members

8 months pregnant is officially the only time in a woman's life where "I will sit on the sofa and wear the same sweats all week" is 100% acceptable. Well, that and a breakup. Khloe is now a mom to True. While that came with its, um, "home truths," it's Khloe's pregnancy wardrobe that made us look twice.

Swollen ankles and tight lace-up Yeezy boots? A giant bump swathed in Yeezy dresses? Khloe was papped a fair bit during her pregnancy. Literally the only variety we saw was in Khlo's Gucci or Louis Vuitton purses. The awkward and uncomfortable-looking Yeezy boots? We have no words.

10 Bubblegum Blue X Space Alien

Let's just put this into perspective. You're looking at a woman whose 2018 looks have included the following: #1 A vintage 1992 Dolce & Gabbana blazer dress. #2 Louis Vuitton shirt dresses that aren't available to buy yet. #3 A $2,888 Maison Margiela coat (that happens to be a brand that Ariana Grande loves).

"Only thing close to this is the iPhone," said Kanye West on the sales of Yeezy 350s.

Keeping her head down in one of the most bizarre Yeezy looks ever, here is Kim in an outfit we don't even know what to call. Bubblegum robocop? Space alien? Care to name it?

9 Orange Soda X Need More Pockets

Props to Kanye for doing one thing right– seriously, what is up with women's clothes never having enough pockets? With a somewhat exaggerated solution to this universal problem, Kim once again took to IG in 2018 to promote this Yeezy look.

It's very...orange. It's very...loud. It might also have (just a few) too many pockets. Deconstructed and ultra-industrial seems to be the edge that Yeezy apparel has, although Kim looks like she's on the edge here.

Yeezy doesn't come cheap. The Yeezy Shearling Lined Canvas Jacket costs $1500. Those tiny sock bras you see Kim in on KUTWK? They're $300.

8 No Words For Those Vacation Outfits

In February 2018, three Kardashian sisters made one very high-profile trip to Japan. Kim, Kourtney, and an 8-month-pregnant Khloe flew out east– to promote Yeezy.

"I can't even eat dinner because I'm so disgusted with my sisters' crazy outfits that completely don't go with my look. Like, I can't take it," said Kim

The sad part about this? Kim clearly seems to think that her looks are spot-on. "It's my husband's collection and I want to make sure that I do a good job and that he likes how everything turns out." The go-getting, independent woman that we know is literally a different person.

7 I See What You're Playing At, Daddy

Yeezy isn't an adults-only deal. Kanye seems happiest when the entire family is kitted out head-to-toe in Yeezy– and that includes North West. KimYe's oldest child may now be walking her own fashion shows, but we've seen six whole years of Yeezy through North West.

North has her mini Louis Vuitton (and that $50,000 Hermès purse that Kim gave her "to paint"). While this Hollywood kid rocks Young Versace and customized baby Balmain, North's wardrobe is also mirroring Kim's. We're seeing more Yeezy Boost 350s, more customized Yeezy, and an endless layering of jackets, tees, and The Yeezy Supply. This look was one of many.

6 How I Really Feel About Yeezy?

Kim's Yeezy interviews show us one thing– a spokesperson who is good at her job. 100% still not knowing what Kim's true feelings are, we get "the official version." Kim walks around her $20 million mansion in all-gray sportswear for KUWTK episodes. She poses on beaches in Yeezy slides.

"I love working with Kanye in that way because he will listen to me on things that are important to me, and I'll trust him on colors and fabrics," said Kim

You'll never hear a bad word about Yeezy from Kim. That could crush the business. The question is, is Yeezy crushing Kim?

5 #Mood

Sometimes, the face says it all. In February 2018, Kim was spotted looking stony-faced during a Los Angeles outing. There's no saying if the wardrobe had anything to do with it, but we're willing to take our bets. Kim wore a floor-length leather trench coat with a decidedly clashing athleisurewear look of Yeezy shorts, a Yeezy hoodie, and Yeezy Lucite heels.

The Unisex Classic Hoodie retails for over $280. The shorts cost around $300. Those clear plastic shoes that you always see Kim wearing? Those would be the Yeezy PUC Mule Heels. Those cost over $600– for a piece of plastic.

4 Making Kylie Ditch The Designer

A selfie is a hugely personal thing. We might not have Kardashian-level lighting teams and makeup staff, but we'll try out best. Good lighting, good angles, good clothes. Kylie Jenner now takes more selfies than all of her sisters combined. They are Kylie's way of connecting with fans and earning her $900 million.

Kylie is known for sneaking in big-name brands into her selfies. Sometimes, it's Givenchy hoodies. Sometimes, it's a giant Louis Vuitton trunk. Stripped of her Chanel bodysuits and customized Hermès purses, here is a Yeezy-clad Kylie on the Yeezy job. "Young and relevant" were Kim's words for Yeezy. Kylie must be Kanye's answer.

3 Making The Sisters Do A Double-Take

If you've seen Kylie Jenner's Instagram recently, you'll know that she is still promoting Yeezy. "Just got my YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 TRIPLE WHITE" was the caption to her October 2018 post. Kylie wore a tiny white dress and matching Yeezy sneakers. Kendall did the exact same thing (with slightly less clothing).

It's when both sisters are wearing the Yeezy Boost Zebra that you do the double-take. Individuality is a huge part of these girls' personalities. Kendall is offbeat and hipster-esque. Kylie is new-gen trend. The last thing these two sisters are, is identical. Except when they're papped in matching Yeezy footwear.

2 When It's Best Left To Ariana Grande

Over-the-knee boots are so 2018, we're kind of sad that they might fade out in 2019. The risqué-yet-fun look has become Ariana Grande's signature finish, although 2018 has seen Ariana "finish" a lot of other things.

Another day, another parking lot. Kim's ultra-metallic, futuristic look was aiming for 5 stars. You rate it.

Kim grew pretty defensive during her Japan trip. "Kourtney and all of the glam people, at this point, hate me, because I just killed all of their dreams. And I don't care. If you can't take the criticism, you shouldn't have come on this trip." That's not counting the criticism thrown at Kim herself.

1 When You Realized Why You Have That Mild Headache

There's a limit to how much hot pink and neon a girl can look at. We've got busy lives. Jobs, boyfriends, drama– we don't need a headache from a picture of Kim Kardashian. This bizarre Japan getup definitely channeled Vogue's outlining of 2018's return to the "ugly" trend, but how much ugly do we need?

"I have three children and a full-time job. I don't have seven stylists." Right. Kim has one, apparently. Kanye West.

This is just too good not to go viral. Hit share on Facebook, because...duh. Kanye West continues to claim that Yeezy will take over the world. Whether he does or not is up to you.
