In September 2023, images of Bianca Censori and Kanye West on a boat in Venice went viral, sparking allegations that the pair were engaging in behavior deemed contrary to public decency. The photos triggered widespread media coverage and public debate.

More than two years later, Censori addressed the controversy for the first time in a tell-all interview with Vanity Fair. The 31-year-old Australian model discussed the incident within a broader conversation about her public image, fashion choices, and relationship with West.

Censori married the 48-year-old rapper in December 2022 after meeting him while working as an architectural designer for his Yeezy brand. Their confidential marriage license came shortly after West finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian, with whom he shares four children.

Less than a year into their marriage, Venice authorities reportedly investigated the couple after photos surfaced from a water taxi ride. In the images, West appeared partially undressed, while Censori’s position fueled speculation and complaints from onlookers.

In the years since, Censori has frequently made headlines for wearing extremely revealing outfits. Many critics have questioned whether her fashion choices were influenced or directed by West, given his history of shaping the public image of past partners.

One notable appearance came at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where Censori wore a fully transparent mesh mini dress that drew global attention and intense criticism for its boldness. The look further amplified discussions about her autonomy and artistic expression.

In her recent interview, Censori pushed back against the narrative that her wardrobe is controlled by her husband. She stated that her most controversial looks stem from her personal “obsession with nudity” and creative exploration rather than external pressure.

While public opinion remains divided, Censori’s comments mark her first direct response to the Venice incident and ongoing speculation. By addressing the controversy herself, she appears intent on reclaiming the narrative surrounding her image and her marriage.
