In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Bianca Censori dismissed rumors suggesting she had been forced into her now-infamous near-nude looks. “If I didn’t want to do it, I wouldn’t have,” she stated clearly, marking the first time since her 2022 marriage that she has spoken in depth about the controversial fashion concept that has defined much of her public image.
Censori emphasized that her wardrobe decisions were always collaborative. “My husband and I discuss our outfits together. It’s always been a partnership,” she explained, rejecting the narrative that she was simply following instructions. Drawing a comparison, she added, “If I were married to Gianni Versace, wouldn’t he choose my clothes too?” arguing that fashion direction within a creative relationship should not automatically be framed as control.
Since marrying Kanye West, Censori has consistently drawn headlines for outfits that often appear barely there. One of the most talked-about moments came at last year’s Grammy Awards red carpet, where she appeared in a completely sheer mini dress without visible undergarments, sparking global debate. The appearance fueled speculation that West was dictating her style and shaping her public persona.
Addressing those assumptions, Censori said she did not marry for fame or influence. “I didn’t get married to gain a platform. I married for love,” she remarked, acknowledging that some may find the statement cliché. She also admitted that she has become known through association what some call a “nepo wife” but expressed discomfort with how her image has been consumed and distorted without her consent.
Censori further described her bold fashion era as intentional artistic expression. “I definitely had an obsession with nudity,” she said, explaining that repeatedly presenting a similar aesthetic was part of her creative vision. However, she added that in an era saturated with overexposure, “mystery actually holds power,” suggesting that her choices carried meaning beyond shock value.
While she refrained from directly addressing recent reports about potential strains in her marriage, including claims that West sought rehabilitation treatment in Switzerland, the interview marked a turning point in how she positions herself publicly.
With this candid statement, Bianca Censori appears determined to shed the “silent icon” image and assert her agency, making it clear that her controversial style statements were, in her view, self-driven artistic decisions not acts of coercion.
