Kim Kardashian West‘s style has evolved dramatically over the years (with little help from Kanye West), and the star’s current look gets Anna Wintour‘s stamp-of-approval.
“Kim of all of them I feel has possibly changed the most,” the Vogue editor-in-chief says of the Keeping Up with the Kardashian star’s style in this week’s episode of Vogue.com’s series, Go Ask Anna.

Most of all, Wintour applauds Kardashian West for toning down the sex appeal with her outfits as of late. “I personally admire the way she has become a little bit more minimal in the way that she’s dressing and a little bit more covered,” Wintour says.
But Wintour might have filmed the clip before Kardashian west happened to step out in her most skin-baring look to date: a vintage Mugler design that featured a bodice so revealing the Internet has since labeled it the “boob belt.”
Though the longtime fashion editor says she praises the family for using their fame to create multi-million dollar businesses, she could never imagine living her own life like the KarJenners.
“You have to admire how they have created an empire obviously through their personalities and creative genius of their mother [Kris Jenner],” Wintour says. “And how they live the way they do, I can’t possibly understand or fathom living so much in the public eye. But obviously it works.”

Wintour also says she’s been especially impressed with supermodel Kendall Jenner’s growth in the fashion industry.
“So obviously the Kardashian that we’ve had the most experience with at Vogue is Kendall. People thought that she wouldn’t last and I give her a lot of credit for persevering in her successful modeling career,” Wintour says.
Jenner’s ambition and drive reminds Wintour of iconic ’90s supermodel Linda Evangelista. “I see Kendall very much in the same way. Linda was happy being a model. I think maybe some of the other girls that came up at that time wanted other careers, whereas Linda loved being a model,” the editor says.
She adds, “[Kendall]’s very open and very direct in the way she talks about how she just wants to be a model, that she enjoys being a model, that she has worked hard at it. And I hope that she continues and keeps up the pace.”
