Bianca Censori’s nude attire at the Grammys has raised eyebrows among experts, as concerns mount over her unsettling relationship with Kanye West.
It is understood that the Australian architect’s loved ones have attempted to step in over the years, alarmed by her transformation into Kanye’s ‘puppet’.
Now, their contentious appearance at the Grammys yesterday evening has set off additional alarm bells among psychologists. At the glitzy award show, the model wore a completely see-through slip dress, causing a storm of criticism and even risking arrest, the Mirror reports.
Meanwhile, Kanye, a father of four, was fully clad in black – a typical contrast for the pair. While Kanye is fully dressed, Bianca often appears in public wearing minimal clothing, frequently displaying a blank or uneasy facial expression.
It has even been suggested that the Yeezy designer dictates what Bianca wears, eats, and when she exercises, imposing a set of stringent rules for his second wife to abide by.
The couple’s eye-catching fashion choices have ignited a heated discussion, but the question remains: why does Bianca opt for such revealing attire?
Chartered psychologist Dr Louise Goddard-Crawley spoke to the Mirror about the potential implications of Bianca Censori’s daring wardrobe selections.
She cautioned: “Bianca Censori’s increasingly revealing outfits have sparked debate, with many questioning whether this is an act of self-expression or something more complex. Reports of Kanye West allegedly imposing ‘rules’ on her, alongside concerns from family and friends, raise the possibility that this is more than just a bold fashion choice.”
Dr Goddard-Crawley elaborated on the psychological aspects that might be influencing the situation, including the potential control exerted by Kanye.
She explained: “If Kanye does have a strong say in how Bianca presents herself, dressing in an extreme way might not be a personal choice but a way to maintain his approval or avoid conflict. It’s common in controlling relationships for one person’s preferences to dictate the other’s behaviour, sometimes to the point where their identity changes.
“Bianca, previously a relatively private architect, is now in a world where controversy equals currency. Hypersexualisation is a fast track to attention, and given how spectacle-driven Kanye’s career has been, it’s possible she is embracing this as part of a new identity.”
The psychologist suggested that Bianca could subconsciously feel pressured to become Kanye’s next project. She added: “Kanye has a history of styling and reshaping his partners, with Kim Kardashian famously recalling how he revamped her entire wardrobe.
“If Bianca sees herself as his latest muse, she may feel pressure – conscious or not – to embody his artistic vision, even if it’s at odds with her past self”.
However, she also pointed out that this could be entirely Bianca’s choice. Dr Goddard-Crawley explained: “Some individuals see hypersexualisation as empowerment, a way of rejecting societal norms. The question is whether she would be making the same choices if Kanye weren’t in the picture.”
The American rapper has been open about his struggles with mental health, including his diagnosis of bipolar disorder. The psychologist noted that his behaviour has, at times, “reflected patterns of impulsivity, grandiosity, and controversy-traits that can shape relationship dynamics”.
She added: “While mental health conditions don’t inherently lead to controlling behaviour, they can magnify power imbalances, particularly when one person holds significant influence.”
Dr Goddard-Crawley has highlighted several warning signs in their relationship, including reports of Bianca distancing herself from her loved ones, which “can be a sign of an unhealthy dynamic”. She also pointed out that Bianca’s drastic change in appearance “raises questions about autonomy versus influence”.
The psychologist further noted Kanye’s history of influencing his partners’ appearances and behaviours, suggesting a “broader pattern rather than an isolated case”. She added: “Bianca’s extreme outfits could be her own choice, a performance for attention, or part of a controlling dynamic.
“The real question is whether she feels free in these choices – or whether they are shaped by a need to maintain Kanye’s approval. Whether this is self-expression, a strategic move, or something more unsettling, only Bianca truly knows.”
Relationship coach Francine Kaye, author of The Divorce Doctor, also expressed concerns about Bianca’s autonomy and ability to make personal decisions.
Speaking to the Mirror, she observed that the Australian model displayed detached body language at the Grammys, raising serious questions about the true reason behind her look and Kanye’s involvement.
Francine commented: “It’s plausible that Censori’s attire at the Grammys was a mix of personal expression and West’s flair for publicity – something they both undeniably achieved.
“However, what struck me most was how apprehensive and almost detached she appeared during the photography session as if she were physically present but emotionally elsewhere. This raises concerns about her personal comfort and true autonomy in making such a bold ‘fashion’ choice.”
She continued by highlighting concerns over West’s past behaviour: “West has faced past allegations of misogynistic attitudes, which adds another layer of discomfort. Was this an empowered statement of self-expression, or was there an element of external pressure? “
Francine also noted the fine balance in such situations, saying: “There is a ‘fine line between incredibly brave and incredibly reckless’.”
She concluded with the observation that regardless of the public’s perception, whether it be artistic, exploitative, or attention-seeking, the couple has succeeded in becoming the centre of conversation. She suggested “In the end, whether people view it as artistic, exploitative, or simply attention-seeking, everyone is talking about them. And ultimately, that may have been the goal all along.”
The behavioural expert’s remarks come after Bianca, who is 18 years younger than Kanye, married him in December 2022, just two months following his divorce from Kim Kardashian. Their marriage followed the release of Kanye’s song ‘Censori Overload’, where he hinted at abstinence until marriage, rapping: “And The Bible said I can’t have any more sex till marriage.”
Bianca and her partner, known for their steamy public displays and Bianca’s notoriously daring outfits like see-through dresses, ultra-mini skirts and the ‘world’s smallest bikini’, have caught everyone’s attention.
However, CCTV footage captured Bianca dressed uncharacteristically in a baggy tracksuit when alone, sparking concern among relatives.
In November 2023, Bianca’s concerned family reportedly held an intervention, telling her to “wake the f**k up”. A source shared with the Mail: “She knows that she has shut out those close to her, and she is also starting to see through the smoky mirrors of her marriage.”
Her father Leo apparently wanted to challenge Ye about his daughter’s revealing wardrobe choices.
Following worry over her increasingly risqué public appearances, rumors swirled last year that the couple decided to separate. In March 2023, Alexandra, the mother of Yeezy creator Ye, reportedly jetted from Australia to the US hoping to ‘rescue’ Bianca.
Despite family fears, Bianca assured them she had everything ‘under control’, as per an insider’s comments to the Mail.
