Bianca Censori
Bianca Censori is an Australian architect and model known for her role as an architectural designer at Yeezy and her marriage to rapper Kanye West. She has also attracted attention through fashion appearances, album artwork, performance art and music-video direction.
Personal life
Censori married Kanye West in a private ceremony in December 2022 under a confidential marriage license. She became a stepmother to West's children, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. Reports in February 2025 variously described a separation and possible divorce, while a representative for the couple denied the divorce reports and said they planned to spend Valentine's Day together.
Censori is one of three children of Alexandra and Elia "Leo" Censori. Her paternal grandparents came from Giulianova in Abruzzo, Italy, and emigrated to Australia with their five children. Before her relationship with West, she was in a relationship with Nick Forgaine from 2014 to 2020.
Architecture and education
Censori attended Carey Baptist Grammar School in Melbourne and earned both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in architecture from the University of Melbourne. She completed her bachelor's degree in 2017 and her master's degree in 2020.
While studying, she worked as a design consultant at Kelektiv and as a student architect at DP Toscano Architects in Collingwood, Victoria. She later joined Yeezy as a full-time architectural designer in November 2020 and held a senior architecture role within the company.
Nylons and design work at Yeezy
After graduating from high school, Censori founded Nylons Jewellery, an accessories label that sold products online. She continued operating the business while completing her architecture degrees, and the label remained active from 2013 to 2017.
Her move to Yeezy connected her architectural training with fashion and apparel design. She relocated to the United States after joining West's company, which is based in California, and became known publicly as one of the brand's architectural designers.
Vultures 1 and the 2025 Grammy appearance
Censori appears on the cover of Vultures 1, the 2024 debut album by ¥$, the hip-hop duo formed by Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign. Her appearance linked her public image to West's music and fashion projects.
At the 2025 Grammy Awards, Censori wore a sheer, transparent outfit on the red carpet after removing a black fur coat. The appearance generated a divided reaction, and she and West left the event after walking the red carpet. Claims that they had been removed from the ceremony were later disputed, with an account stating that West left voluntarily.
Performance art, jewellery and music videos
Censori debuted an art show in South Korea in December 2025. The exhibition included women dressed in bondage and presented as human furniture, an approach that was praised by West. That month, she also launched a jewellery collection inspired by medical instruments, including speculums and scalpels.
She directed the music video for "Father," featuring Travis Scott, from West's album Bully. The album and video were released on 28 March 2026. She also directed videos for West's "Gemini Season," "King" and "OK."
