Online reactions are split, with growing concern over West’s influence on her public image.
The couple has faced repeated scrutiny over control dynamics since their 2022 marriage.
Bianca Censori’s latest Instagram post, featuring nearly nude images taken by her husband Kanye West, has stirred fresh controversy online. The Polaroids posted on her account show the Australian architect in sheer lingerie and stilettos, posing in a minimalist beige-toned room.
Though captioned simply “shot by @ye,” the photos quickly became a flashpoint on social media, reigniting debate about West’s role in shaping Censori’s public image.
While some praised the aesthetic and Censori’s boldness, others expressed unease, questioning whether these highly curated and sexualised appearances reflect her own choices or West’s direction.
Bianca’s blonde makeover and provocative visuals spark debate
The images show Censori wearing a plunging bodysuit, thigh-high stockings, and white heels. In one photo, she’s wrapped in a fur coat, her platinum blonde hair over her shoulders, a stark change from her usual dark pixie cut. Set against beige carpet and sheer white curtains, the stripped-down backdrop accentuates her figure and the styling. While some followers admired the transformation, others raised concerns over the increasingly performative nature of her recent appearances.

Concerns grow over West’s influence on Censori’s image
The Instagram post is the latest in a string of controversial public moments involving the couple, from Censori’s sheer mesh dress at the Grammys to reports of her wearing a candy bikini for a West-directed shoot.Earlier this year, it was alleged that West paid Censori up to £320,000 (₹3,36,00,000) to wear certain outfits, including £80,000 (₹84,00,000) for the edible bikini alone.
In May, West described his wife as a “good woman” who “does whatever Ye tells her to do,” fuelling further speculation around control in the marriage. Family members have reportedly voiced concern over her wellbeing, while online observers continue to debate whether these appearances are empowering or exploitative.

West’s lyrics hint at emotional tension and power struggles
In April, West released a track titled Bianca on his album WW3, suggesting that she “ran away” and attempted to “get him committed.” The lyrics read:
“Until Bianca’s back I stay up all night I’m not going to sleep / I really don’t know where she’s at.”
At the time, breakup rumours were swirling, with sources suggesting Censori was overwhelmed and needed space. However, the pair has since been seen together publicly on multiple occasions, seemingly reconciling or at least maintaining appearances.Still, the emotional content of West’s music, combined with his public comments, has added to the perception of a relationship marked by power imbalance and blurred personal boundaries.

Public interest in Censori grows alongside scrutiny
Censori has been in the spotlight ever since she quietly married West in December 2022, weeks after his divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalised. According to West, she was “the most Googled person on the planet” as of February this year, a claim that speaks to both the public’s fascination and concern.

Her silence on the backlash has done little to stem speculation, with critics pointing out the absence of her voice in the narrative. The latest Instagram post has only added to the perception that Censori’s image, and perhaps her autonomy, is tightly controlled.
Perry's onstage quip about "Englishmen" felt like a deliberate signal.
Those yacht photos are, frankly, undeniable.
It started with a Montreal dinner most people missed.
Both are out of long-term relationships.
Well, she’s as good as confirmed it, hasn’t she? Katy Perry just tossed a verbal grenade into her London concert, and the pieces all point to Justin Trudeau. That line about Englishmen? You do not say that by accident. It lands just days after those, let's face it, pretty steamy pictures of them surfaced on her boat. This Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau thing is suddenly feeling very real, shifting from rumours to a full-blown celebrity romance.

So what did she actually say?
Mid-show at the O2, looking out at the crowd, she hits them with this: "London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night?... No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time."
Pause.
Then came the kicker: "...but not anymore." The place erupts. It was too specific, too perfectly timed. And then, almost as if scripted, some fan proposes to her. Her comeback was: "I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago." What is that, if not a nod to a new, serious someone?
Let’s talk about the yacht. The Daily Mail got those shots and, while grainy, the story they tell is crystal clear. The photos were taken off the coast of Santa Barbara, on her 78-foot Caravelle. He is pulling her in, kissing her cheek. His hand was on her backside in another frame. This follows that low-key Montreal dinner in July that almost flew under the radar.

Where does this leave everyone?
Right, let us look at the context. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom only finalised their split recently, with the co-parenting news coming out in July. Justin Trudeau’s marriage to Sophie Grégoire also ended last year. Both are prominent figures with busy lives who have only just become single. Sources are already saying he has been "persistent," flying to see her on tour breaks. It has the feel of something that is accelerating fast. And Perry, with that London comment, seems ready to let it.
