He's encouraging her to be bolder, think outside the box where style is concerned

Kanye West is already enjoying a reputation as a solid fashion designer so it's probably little wonder that he's now turned his attention to his current girlfriend Kim Kardashian. He's encouraging her to be more daring, it has emerged.

A source tells the British tabloids that, after a more or less successful string of red carpet appearances together in recent weeks, Kanye had decided that Kim can benefit from his fashion know-how.

He believes, writes the Daily Mail, that Kim is too set in her ways and needs to think outside the box for a change, where her fashion is concerned.

Consequently, he's been telling her to be bolder with her outfits, both on the red carpet and on other public appearances.

“Kanye says she plays it safe too much so has been trying to pick outfits for her to wear and encourage her to be more daring,” an insider says.

The Mail even points out that the results of this conversation have already started to show, when Kim wowed on a public appearance in a black mini dress with an all-lace back, which clearly showed she wasn't wearing a bra.

Besides improving her fashion style, Kanye will probably also help Kim boost her public profile even more, if one is to believe ongoing reports.

Ever since they stepped out in public for the first time as a couple, there has been a lot of speculation on whether Kanye would introduce her to his best friend, Jay-Z, but especially to Jay's wife, Beyonce.

Inside sources have even gone as far as to say that Beyonce is Kim's latest girl crush, the woman she's been dying to meet for many years and, at the same time, the one who could propel her to A-list status thanks to her own level of fame and her many connections in the industry.

As of now, no word yet on whether Kim got to meet the singer while on her trip to London, where she accompanied Kanye while he performed with Jay-Z on a string of dates.
