Bianca Censori’s attire is making her go viral again, but this time it’s because she’s actually wearing clothes.

Old images of the model predating her husband Kanye West are making their way around the internet and causing uproar because fans can’t believe how different (and good) she looks with clothes on.

When Censori and West made their relationship public in January 2023, her barely there attire was chalked up to being West’s muse and inspiration behind his Yeezy brand. Over time, her partially-clothed outfits and shocking red carpet appearances became the norm and what fans expected.

When the old photos reemerged, the transformation left social media users stunned by the dramatic difference..

On Jun. 6, X account @traxstarrr posted a picture of the Australian beauty with long dark hair, wearing a black lace-up-style halter top.

Although the top is somewhat revealing, it’s pretty modest compared to the jaw-dropping fashion she wears now.

Several followers noted how refreshing and surprising it was to see Censori wearing clothes.

“She wear clothes?” one person asked on X.

“Almost didn’t recognize her cause she has clothes on,” wrote a second person, while another claimed, “She looks even better with clothes on.”

A fourth said, “She looks different with clothes on.”

Several followers made comments about how, without the distracting clothing, they finally realized they never noticed Censori’s face before.

In Jan. 2023, shortly after her first public appearance as Mrs. West, a Ye fan account on Instagram shared several images of Censori from around the same era as the recent viral picture.

One of the flicks featured Censori with the same long brown hair, sporting a see-through tank top while smoking a cigarette. She can be seen Censori her assets in a strappy black bikini in another image; then a Yeezy two-piece with just a belt covering her chest in another.

The fifth image was a black-and-white headshot, and the sixth photo seemed heavily influenced by West, as the former architectural designer is seen wearing a black two-piece and black sunglasses with her hair pulled back in a sleek bun.

“How you gon try to level up on a ex and get a girl that look just like them? Kim wins again unfortunately,” said one fan, as many also pointed out how much Censori looked like West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.

The reprise of Censori’s more modest images comes after a string of moments where she was seen sans clothing or alluding to being uncovered.

On Sunday, Feb. 2, Censori and West appeared on the red carpet for the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.

West wore an all-black ensemble while Censori strolled behind him clad in a black fur coat. At his command, she dropped the coat to reveal a mesh mini-dress with nothing underneath, giving the illusion that she was fully undressed.

In May, she caused another ruckus after appearing completely unclothed during one of Ye’s rant-filled livestreams.

In a clip that fans called “disgusting,” celebrity streamer Sneako, who was present during the broadcast, scrambles to cover the camera as Censori enters the room with West following behind her.

Lately, headlines have accused West of exploiting Censori and forcing her to dress and act in a manner that would increase shock value and gain attention. Now, with the recent resurfacing of old images showing Censori enjoying wearing clothes, it appears the whispers about the rapper’s controlling ways may be valid.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
