Kanye West and his ‘wife’ Bianca Censori have kept us all on our toes with their ever-changing fashion sense matching the speed of their whirlwind romance.
However, followers of the controversial rapper have been truly flabbergasted by the latest Instagram photos he shared of Bianca virtually naked in January 2024, declaring it the year of ‘no pants.’
It has only fuelled previous concerns for Bianca’s wellbeing, with X user @Suckurmother6 commenting: ‘The way she looks like Kim is so scary to me. Something shading is going on.’
@lilmooncup added: ‘How do you see those pictures of Kanye’s wife and not feel concerned for her. He’s been parading her around practically naked, and she looks miserable in that latest set.’
In 2023, the couple – who married in January last year – travelled around the world on their summer break with Japan and Italy included in their stops.
With each new city, their outfits became more daring and eye-catching whether it was Kanye, 46, walking barefoot or Bianca, 28, exposing her modesty in sheer get-ups.
Italian locals were particularly incensed about Bianca’s looks while visiting the country, notably after the Yeezy employee walked the streets in a see-through jumpsuit that put plenty of skin on show and revealed her thong underwear.
However, it wasn’t too long ago that Bianca looked markedly different.
Before hooking up with Kanye, the Australian architect sported more of a pared-back look with her natural brunette hair and simpler clothes.
Fans have noticed Bianca’s drastic transformation and found parallels between her and the way Kanye’s first wife, Kim Kardashian, changed her style when they first started dating.
In a former episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians in 2012, Kanye was famously filmed throwing out Kim’s old wardrobe and moving in a range of high fashion pieces from top designers.
Over the next few years, her image would drastically change to include outlandish looks but Kim, 42, seemed pretty happy to go along with the ride – improving her black book of fashion contacts along the way.
After all, it was because of Kanye’s long-standing relationship with Anna Wintour that Kim was able to land her first cover with US Vogue in 2014 – an unprecedented move for someone whose reputation was often reduced to a sex tape or reality star – as well as invites to the Met Gala.
Reflecting on her evolved style, the mother-of-four told CNN Style in 2016: ‘I really think that my relationship with my husband Kanye changed everything. I mean, back in the day, I thought I had the best style. I look back at outfits and I’m, like, mortified.’
Kim wasn’t the only partner to have undergone the Kanye treatment, as his recent girlfriend Julia Fox admitted that her provocative style was totally down to the Grammy-winning rapper, and she didn’t mind one bit.
During their short-lived romance, the musician and Uncut Gems actress often matched their looks while Kanye, as he did with Kim, completely overhauled her wardrobe with fresh designer cuts and a glorious amount of Birkin handbags.
Their relationship ended in 2022 but it left Kanye free to find his next fashion mannequin…
Fast forward to January this year and he is reported to have married Bianca, who worked as a designer for his Yeezy brand. The two are said to have exchanged vows during a private ceremony but did not obtain a marriage certificate that would make the union legal.
Over the past seven months, we’ve seen Julia sporting some interesting looks from bikini tops for a casual day out to leggings with no bottoms and even no shoes while out in public. In May, she pushed the boundary to the limit modelling what appeared to be a new Yeezy design that defied the meaning of clothes, quite literally masking her modesty with only a bit of black tape.
When she wasn’t romantically involved with Kanye, Bianca’s fashion sense resembled many other 20-something women, with her typically seen posing for social media pictures wearing athleisure.
Her makeover goes beyond just the fashion as Bianca is now rocking a pixie cut – sometimes dyed blonde, sometimes not – making for a noticeable difference to her former flowing brunette locks.
While some spectators have been taken aback by the image change, resulting in many TikTok videos of her transformation, others seem to be loving Bianca’s look, including one who commented on TikTok: ‘Before she looked like the average ig model and now she looks like she got her own style and she enjoys it.’
Agreeing with their sentiment, one said: ‘I love the short hair on her it gives her character and she has a beautiful face.’
‘I feel like she’s free who she wants to be.No longer going after conventional beauty standards,’ another wrote.
Drawing comparisons between Bianca and Kanye’s ex, one other said: ‘Is it me or does she look more and more like Kim???’
One other weighed in: ‘That boy has a strange effect on women. Maybe she thought if she went blonde she could wash that boy right out of her hair,or not be a Kim clone.’
Whatever Kanye’s doing, he clearly has the power and influence to transform the women he dates but will we ever see the day when they do the same for him?
Stranger things have happened.
