Bianca Censori has completely transformed her style since marrying Kanye West in December 2022, less than one month after the rapper finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian. While originally thought to be a non-legal union, forged in an intimate Beverly Hills ceremony, the rapper and his wife have indeed been wed ever since. Before Bianca Censori got married to controversial rapper Kanye West, she looked much like his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
Before the Australian beauty said “I do” to Ye, she was his employee. According to LinkedIn, Censori is the Head of Architecture at Yeezy, having joined his label after graduating from the University of Melbourne with a Master of Architecture in 2020. But those who went to school with West’s lady love might not recognize her these days.
Old photos of the Yeezy employee’s fashion transformation went viral on TikTok. While Censori’s style was always daring, she now lives in Yeezy neutrals. The “Heartless” rapper has a long history of overhauling his significant others’ wardrobes; who could forget when he cleaned out Kardashian’s closet on camera or treated Julia Fox to a $100,000 dress-up date?
In addition to swapping her long brunette hair for a platinum blond pixie cut, Censori completely adopted the Yeezy aesthetic since starting her romantic relationship with West; while her style was plenty provocative before, she’s now seen in nothing but monochromatic neutrals and sheer, stretchy fabrics. Below, take a closer look at Censori’s major fashion makeover, pre- and post-Ye. Kardashian kloneBianca used to wear her long, dark hair in waves or braids.
Before becoming romantically involved with West, Censori looked (and dressed) much like his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. Between the long, dark hair, love of contour and sultry going-out looks, it’s little wonder she caught the rapper’s eye. Chain reactionIn September 2022, Censori shared photos from Burning Man.
“You’ve got mail,” she said as the caption for this photo of herself wearing a chainmail headdress. Censori dressed in a sleek chainmail bikini and a medieval-style headgear for Burning Man in 2022. She wore rubber boots to complete her desert outfit; we assume she would now attend the festival barefoot (more on that in a bit).
Yeezy does itIn May, Censori and West were spotted holding hands in Los Angeles. The Aussie loves nothing more than a sheer bra top. Since marrying West, Censori’s made sheer tights, transparent bra tops and other Yeezy staples her uniform, rarely deviating from the brand’s signature palette of black, gray and cream.
And she’s not the only one living in leggings; West has even tried out the skintight style, to much fanfare. No shirt, no shoes, no problemLike West, Censori’s been spotted wearing head-turning face coverings and sock boots. The dad of four and his new “wife” don’t mind strolling sans shoes.
In addition to (quite literally) following in her husband’s footsteps by sporting sock boots, Censori’s often ditched footwear altogether since the duo began their relationship. And just as West’s fond of a face covering, you’ll often spot his wife rocking masks of her own. New body(suit)Right after their wedding, Censori started wearing sheer bodysuits.
The designer loves a cheeky onesie. At Milan Fashion Week in February 2024, she showed off a blunt black bob and a high-cut black leather bodysuit. During Paris Fashion Week in June 2024, Censori experimented with a sheer bodysuit and a crazy pink haircut.
Solid-colored, second-skin bodysuits have long been a Yeezy mainstay, and Bianca has probably amassed an extensive collection of them. While out with Ye, Censori frequently shows off her posterior in see-through leotards and tights. She doesn’t limit herself to wearing stockings for her lower body; in August 2023, she even turned a pair of transparent tights into a top.
Additionally, she prefers ever smaller swimwear-style outfits with extremely high leather or even hosiery cuts. Tight squeezeOne of her most memorable looks was entirely made of hosiery — complete with a face covering. In March 2024, she opted for a flirtatious look by wearing a bow-trimmed tank top with white lace stockings.
Indeed, whether worn conventionally or as a full-body costume, tights have established themselves as a staple in Censori’s wardrobe. She used three pairs of stockings to create an entire ensemble in April 2023, dressing them as a shirt, pants, and even a face mask. She also opted for a more feminine style in March 2024, almost a year later, wearing white lace hosiery with a corset top finished with a bow.
Under wrapsTo celebrate fashion designer Amina Muaddi (pictured at left), Censori toted a stuffed deer toy and wore a large fur hat. For a April 2024 trip to Disneyland, she skipped shoes in favor of bandaged feet. The trend for this August 2024 outfit was shredded velvet.
Censori chooses to wear torn styles when she isn’t wearing pure nylon. Wearing a large fur cap and accessorizing with a plush animal, she joined West in Dubai in January 2024. A few months later, Bianca, dressed in a beige apron dress, looked like a “Star Wars” jedi when the pair accompanied the rapper’s kids to Disneyland.
She bandaged her feet instead of wearing shoes. Even when wearing more substantial fabrics, such as velvet, the Australian style icon prefers designs that are distressed and expose a lot of skin. Exclusive sources claim that Censori’s striking appearance is an intricate work of “performance art” rather than a ploy or a way for the West to exert control.
