Bianca Censori is facing another round of Kim Kardashian comparisons after unveiling a dramatic blonde transformation and barely-there gold bikini look that appears strikingly similar to a photoshoot Kanye West’s ex-wife did four years ago.
Censori, 31, shared a series of new photos on Instagram this week wearing a tiny metallic gold bikini top with a matching chainmail-style skirt. She completed the transformation with long blonde hair and bangs, along with dramatic eye makeup and a pale lip.
The combination quickly drew comparisons to Kardashian’s 2022 SKIMS Metallic Swim campaign, in which the reality star modeled metallic bikinis while sporting voluminous blonde hair, bold makeup and a retro aesthetic.
Kim Kardashian’s 2022 SKIMS Metallic Swim Photos
Kardashian’s original photos were part of the SKIMS Metallic Swim collection released in July 2022.
The campaign was photographed by Nadia Lee Cohen and featured Kardashian in a series of high-shine metallic swimsuits. Campaign credits also included celebrity hairstylists Chris Appleton and Sami Knight and makeup artists Mario Dedivanovic and Lilly Keys.
Kardashian embraced a full retro transformation for the shoot, modeling both gold and silver pieces while wearing platinum-blonde hair.
Her Metallic Swim campaign subsequently pushed the aesthetic into much more glamorous territory.
Bianca Censori and Kim Kardashian Have Faced Copycat Claims Before
This is far from the first time their wardrobes have been placed side by side.
In March 2024, Censori stepped out in Los Angeles wearing a metallic silver bikini-style top and miniskirt. TMZ compared the outfit to a silver bikini Kardashian had previously worn.

The debate has occasionally worked in reverse, too.
In February 2025, Kardashian faced claims that one of her SKIMS shoots looked similar to Censori’s style. Social media users commented on the resemblance after Kardashian appeared in a white bodysuit and other revealing pieces.

Of course, there is one obvious connection between Kardashian and Censori: Ye. Kardashian and West married in 2014 and finalized their divorce in 2022. They share four children, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.
