Is Bianca Censori okay? How an unknown Australian architect became Kanye West’s living Barbie doll

A strange spectacle has haunted the pages of the showbiz sections over the past two years. The rapper Kanye West, known now only as “Ye”, traipsing through various metropolises covered head to toe in black while his wife, the hitherto-unknown Australian architect Bianca Censori, walks beside him in increasingly strange and more revealing outfits. And if she’s not baring all on the streets, she’s doing it on Instagram — Ye’s Instagram, to be specific.

The most recent example of this came on Wednesday night, when Kanye West, 47, dropped a picture of Bianca Censori, 30, wearing just enough bikini to scrape past Instagram’s nudity clause. Or maybe not — the picture has since been deleted. In tandem with the nude post, Ye also uploaded a graphic video of Pamela Anderson from 2008 where the model and actress is greeting Playboy founder Hugh Hefner on his 82nd birthday while entirely naked. The video was blurred to avoid total nudity, but it raised questions over whether this kind of stunt is part of West’s grand “vision” for Censori.
And because so little is known about Censori before Ye, it has led many to consider, “How much of this is she consenting to?”. Here’s what we do know: Bianca Censori grew up in a well-heeled neighbourhood of Ivanhoe, Melbourne, known as one of the “most prestigious” suburbs of the city. She attended a “progressive” nearby private school, Carey Baptist Grammar, which charges $37,976 (£19,647) a year. According to peers, Censori “always ran in private school circles” and was described as being a “social butterfly”.
