Who is Bianca Censori? What to know about Ye’s wife after revealing Grammys appearance
Jaws dropped when Ye and wife Bianca Censori arrived to the Grammys on Sunday. Her dress was more than just daring, it was completely sheer, and she wore nothing underneath as she posed for photographers with husband Kanye West standing by.
Ye, the Grammy-winning rapper formerly known as Kanye West, and Censori walked the red carpet at Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles hours before the star-studded awards show kicked off.
Ye, 47, was nominated in the best rap song category for “Carnival” off his collaborative album “Vultures 1” featuring Ty Dolla $ign. But in the end, Kendrick Lamar’s hit “Not Like Us” reigned supreme. Ye’s surprise appearance with Censori was the first time he returned to the Grammys in a decade, last attending the ceremony in 2015, according to Vanity Fair.
Censori, an Australian architect and fashion mogul, arrived in a black fur coat that she promptly shed to reveal a sheer minidress paired with translucent heels. Censori’s eccentric outfit, or lack thereof, generated chatter online.
But who is Censori? Here’s what to know about the 30-year-old.
Who is Bianca Censori?
Censori is an Australian architect, model and the alleged inspiration for Ye’s 2022 track “Censori Overload.”
The 30-year-old has a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in architecture from the University of Melbourne, an online biography reads. In a 2016 interview with i-D, Censori revealed that she had started jewelry business Nylons while she was a third-year student at the University of Melbourne.
Censori became a design consultant at Kelektiv, a South Yarra, Australia-based furniture supplier, and was a student architect at DP Toscano Architects from July 2017 to June 2020 before she started working at Yeezy as head of architecture, the New York Post reported.
“In this role (at Yeezy), she has undoubtedly played a key part in shaping the brand’s visionary design aesthetic, according to the online biography. “Bianca’s creative spirit extends beyond the realm of architecture. When she’s not meticulously crafting innovative spaces, she finds inspiration in fashion, science and Art.”
The Mazda Miata is a car that remains forever young, even as it reaches its mid-30s. To celebrate, Mazda has announced a special-edition 35th Anniversary model that will be available in the U.S. for 2025. The existence of the anniversary MX-5 was no secret, as the car was revealed in Japan in October 2024. Mazda said in December the car would be coming to America, but plans and details about the U.S. model have been under wraps until now.
Mazda chose the Rolex 24 at Daytona as the backdrop to its announcement, appropriately timed with the MX-5 Cup race. Mazda showcased the 35th Anniversary alongside a Miata-only parking area and several Miata models from the Mazda North American Operations collection.
The 35th Anniversary will be limited to 300 cars in the U.S. and will only be available in Artisan Red Metallic—a glittery wine red, slightly darker than Mazda’s famous Soul Red Crystal, which was first seen on the CX-90. Wheels are 17-inchers in a multispoke bright finish wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tires. A beige soft top folds back to reveal tan nappa leather Grand Touring seats, which are more comfort-oriented. There’s also tan carpeting and floor mats as well as color-matched trim around the climate vents and upper door panel. Anniversary badges including the car’s serial number offer a callout on the front fender, while an interior reminder is embossed into the headrest.
The Miata earned its reputation as a sports car due to its accessible handling and enjoyable driving characteristics, and the 35th anniversary will be no different. It features tuned Bilstein dampers, an asymmetric limited-slip differential, and a stiffened shock tower, all of which are also on the Grand Touring trim. With no changes to the driveline or curb weight, we expect the 35th Anniversary to share performance numbers with the previous RF Club, which had a zero-to-60-mph time of 5.5 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 14.3 seconds, and a skidpad result of 0.90 g.
The 35th Anniversary features the same Skyactiv-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine making 181 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. Customers for the special edition will benefit from all the equipment found on the Grand Touring trim, including heated seats (a must in a convertible), wireless phone connectivity, Alexa Built-In, Bose audio, and native nav in an 8.8-inch infotainment screen. The 35th Anniversary is only available as a softtop convertible and with the six-speed manual, so it’s top-down and revs up (to a 7500-rpm redline) as the only option.
