Long before she became Kanye West’s muse, Bianca Censori looked like an entirely different person, and newly surfaced images from a 2021 modeling shoot are sparking mixed reactions.
The throwback photos show a version of the Australian architect many fans barely recognize. Fully clothed, with long brunette hair, the now-30-year-old posed in profile for her friend’s Australian clothing brand.
The photos include casual looks, including a ribbed tank and strapless green top, denim jeans, and a full activewear set, all very different from the revealing aesthetic that’s become her trademark in recent years.
“She looks good with clothes on!” one X user wrote, while another added, “Hard to believe it’s the same person, the glow-up is wild.” Today, Bianca is a public figure known more for pushing the limits of fashion, stepping out in sheer dresses and candy underwear, among some of her looks.
Her 2021 toned-down, natural style and subtle makeup had online users shocked. “It’s so hard to recognize her with clothes on,” one person wrote. Another chimed in: “She looked so different. I fear she may be lost in the Kanye cult. Idk. She is stunning.” “Wow, she looked normal,” added another commenter. “What a shame he’s done what he did to her. This is such a better version of her.”
Bianca’s transformation began not long after her relationship with the rapper was revealed. While the couple kept things quiet early on, a Daily Mail report confirmed they tied the knot on December 20, 2022, less than a month after West finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
The parallels between Kim and Bianca continue to be a topic of discussion. “She has been helping him with some designs, and they both think their fashions are going to be culture-shifting,” a source told Us Weekly, adding that the couple was in their “honeymoon phase” and enjoying traveling together at the time.
Most recently, the Kim comparisons reappeared when Bianca stepped out in Los Angeles wearing a SKIMS-inspired look. The Australian model was seen in a skin-toned bodysuit similar to Kim's SKIMS brand. She completed the outfit with fur-lined boots and a hairstyle that many felt mirrored Kim’s go-to glam.
Bianca was seen arriving at meetings in the skin-tight nude bodysuit featuring a plunging neckline, with knee-high fur boots and sheer tights that matched her complexion.
