Bianca Censori looks more like “Bianca Censored” in resurfaced modeling photos that have social media users doing a double take. TMZ published multiple images of Kanye West’s wife from circa 2021, revealing that she did not always have an affinity for fashion faux pas.

The Australian-born beauty, 30, has been married to the “Heartless” rapper since 2022. Before that, she was hired as an architect at Yeezy, tasked with developing the clothing and shoe brand’s aesthetic direction. As West’s better half, though, she has become known for her in-the-buff style choices that leave little to the imagination. 

The entertainment outlet referred to her as West’s “muse.” In the snapshots, though, Censori forgoes sheer tops and leggings, instead choosing gray sweatpants, blue jeans, and various strapless and mini-crop tops that show off her slender midriff and accentuate her chest — a stark contrast from her more revealing viral appearances. 

A critic harshly remarked she was “a naturally beautiful woman who within 3 years, aged 20 years and looks like she works the corner of Hollywood and Vine.” A second person wondered if more than her style and long hair had been altered. “Nose job?” they asked. 

Even more people shared reactions on Instagram. One TMZ follower declared, “He ruined her.” Another quipped, “Didn’t know who this was with all those clothes on.” Multiple people also noted, “She Always looks sad” as they zoomed in on Censori’s nonexistent cheerfulness.

Between the rapper’s erratic behavior, his wife’s risqué wardrobe, and Kim Kardashian comparisons, the couple has become a headline staple. Regardless of the swirling narratives about their lives, the pair even continues to put on a united front, even in the midst ofnumerous reports of a looming divorce.

In a telling admission, West revealed that Censori temporarily left him after a series of his explosive rants. His union with the model marks his second marriage, the first being to Kardashian. The exes share daughters North and Chicago, and sons Saint and Pslam.

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.
