Kanye West and Bianca Censori are no strangers to controversy, but their recent string of provocative public appearances has reignited debate about fashion, autonomy and control. From red carpet removals to sheer bodysuits at the airport, Bianca’s increasingly revealing outfits have drawn criticism and speculation. Is she embracing an edgy fashion persona or is this a calculated image curated by Kanye himself? With whispers of marketing gimmicks, social media outrage and accusations of objectification, the couple’s headline-grabbing looks blur the line between artistic expression and exploitation. As their bold choices continue to spark discussions, one question remains—where does fashion end and forced image begin?
Recently, at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, Kanye and Bianca were escorted off the red carpet for sporting an unacceptable outfit choice. Underneath the fur coat, Bianca revealed a body-hugging sheer dress changing the tone of the entire appearance. But, this is not the first time the couple has caught eyeballs with their bold outfit choices.
The rapper with his architect wife have faced a lot of backlash, ever since the viral Venice water taxi incident in August 2023 where the couple was caught in a compromising position. Opinions speculate whether Bianca is being forced to hold this appearance or are her public semblances a mere marketing gimmick for Rapper Ye’s then-upcoming album Vultures 2.
Recently on January 30, the couple was spotted at the Tokyo Airport reportedly heading to the United States. Travelling in a sheer white bodysuit and high-heels her underwear was on complete display. On popular social media sites like Reddit, anonymous claims were made hinting at a listening party for Ye’s new album.
For Bianca’s 30th birthday in January, the couple hosted a party in Maldives. With a skimpy black top, the wife danced with her guests. Videos of Ye and his wife kissing went online and sparked a backlash. As a tribute to his wife, Kanye also shared some risque clips of Bianca’s “bath time” where she was completely naked, though not seen in the video. It was deleted shortly after.
Turning heads with their racy looks in April 2024, Kanye and Bianca made a public appearance after what seemed like a dinner date, she wore a latex jumpsuit with little to no modesty. On another occasion in the same month, she was photographed in her lingerie with see-through pantyhose.
With her body being on constant display, fans speculate about Bianca’s discomfort in these outfits. A regressive take on patriarchy and objectification, Kanye too has been accused of making his wife dress a certain way in public.
Apart from being obscene, her outfits also seem to be clouding her entire personality as an architectural designer for Yeezy, Kanye’s brand. Giving in to such public appearances, makes viewers think she is a mere object in this marriage. The couple’s social media accounts contain seven posts combined. Out of which, five of them are polaroid images of Bianca’s Grammy 2025 look.
Overall, the couple’s public appearances blur the lines between creating a bold fashion statement and lewd objectification. While some view these as publicity stunts for Ye’s image, Bianca’s agency was also questioned in these choices. Regardless of intent, the overwhelming focus on her revealing ensembles overshadows her professional identity, reducing her to a spectacle rather than an accomplished designer.
