A year a ago, you probably didn't know the name Alexis Phifer, but within a matter of months she's transformed herself from Kanye's unknown arm candy into a bonafide black style star.
I'm sure it's not easy to keep up with self-proclaimed Louis Vuitton Don, but when comparing the couple's dress sense, I'd say Alexis takes the cake. In fact, Kanye cites her as his stylistics muse. Her ability to infuse her dynamic personal style into each of her red carpet looks has made her into a style star in her own right.
Alexis solidified her status as a style star as she accompanied Kanye to the couture shows in Europe over the summer. From the super sophisticated...
...To the more causual. Alexis proves that she's a master accessorizer.
The duo sported a more casual look to the Chloe Spring/Summer show. Channeling the effortless ease of the 50s. Alexis rocked her simple empire waist dress with Ked's and a cardigan.
Alexis always has fun with her causual style. She's not afraid to take risks. When's the last time you saw an acid wash jacket on the red carpet? Who else do you know who could make it look fierce? Can't say the same for Kanye and those glasses...
Alexis loves her chunky bangles. She's repping the 80's in a big way.
With the addition of a waist-cincher Alexis transforms a basic black ensemble into an all-around polished look.
She looked radiant in all-white at Kanye's 30th birthday bash.
The fact that Alexis appears to genuinely be having a great time with her wardrobe. Check the shoes y'all. Could they be any more fab?
The mark of a true designer: Alexis isn't afraid to rock her own creations (including those one-of-a-kind Ghita peep toes) to red carpet events.
Rocking Ghita from head to toe at the opening of the Murakami exhibit in LA.
We've only reached the tip of her style iceberg, and I'm excited to see what she delivers in the future.
Quick Fact: The 31 year-old fashion ingenue is also the mother of an 11 year-old son from a previous marriage.

I love her style. Young, funky and fresh, so she and Kanye are a match made in fashion heaven. But for someone who claims to be a designer she sure knows how to never rock her own threads. I'm jus sayin...
