Bianca Censori puts on eye-popping display in a see-through nightie and blonde wig
Kayne has apparently resorted to paying his wife to wear her head-turning outfits, BI-ONDIE Bianca Censori puts on eye-popping display in a see-through nightie and blonde wig Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KANYE West's wife, Bianca Censori has put on an eye-popping display in a see-through nightie and blonde wig. Just a few days ago the stunning brunette ditched her bra and almost spilled out of her barely-there outfit in New York. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Bianca Censori puts on eye-popping display in a see-through nightie and blonde wig Credit: @ye / instagram 4 Kayne snapped the trio of photos of her lounging around in an empty room 4 Bianca posed in front of a city landscape in front of sheer draped windows Credit: @ye / instagram Now, Bianca, 30, has shared snaps of herself in a see through nightie while posing in a wavy blonde wig, Kayne, 48, snapped the trio of Polaroids of her lounging around in an empty carpeted room, in front of a draped large window with a city view. Bianca posted the shots to Instagram on Saturday - just days after it emerged Kayne's visa to her native Australia has been cancelled reports the Mail. "He's been coming to Australia for a long time. He's got family here and he's made a lot of offensive comments that my officials looked at again,' Burke told the ABC. "Once he released the Heil Hitler song, he no longer has a valid visa in Australia." Shortly after Kanye West's divorce from Kim Kardashian in 2022, the rapper began dating Australian architect, Bianca Censori. News about his relationship continued in early 2023 and it was later revealed that he had been allegedly married to Censori a month before their public debut. Since they secretly tied the knot in 2022, Bianca has consistently shocked fans with the barely-there ensembles. And Kayne has resorted to paying his wife to wear her head-turning outfits, a source close to the couple has told The U.S. Sun. But when she stepped out in New York City at the weekend in a scarcely believable candy bra and thong set paired with silver stilettos, Bianca took her wild wardrobe to the next level. Kanye West 'paid' Bianca Censori $100k to wear candy bra and thong in NYC after she 'first told him no' An insider said that the controversial rapper's "obsession" with outfit ideas for his wife has forced him to fork out up to $400,000 to make it all happen. The sugary set ended up costing Kanye $100,000, per the source. The source claimed the idea was pitched earlier in the week and Bianca refused point-blank unless her husband paid up. Ye, added the insider, is dressing her up in the most extravagant outfits to not only keep his 'edgy persona' firmly in the public eye, but to make sure everyone thinks 'she's the sexiest woman alive.' Bianca Censori and Kanye West's relationship Bianca Censori was born on January 5, 1995, in Melbourne, Australia Before her current full-time job, the 30-year-old started a jewelry company called Nylons after leaving high school. After working as a student architect for three years, she completed a master's degree between 2019 and 2020 ahead of moving to Los Angeles. In a radio interview, a childhood friend of Bianca's claimed that Kanye slid into her DMs on Instagram. The rapper reportedly said, "Come and work for me." At which point she says the designer moved to LA to join his company Yeezy as the "head of architecture" - and has been since November 2020. WEDDING BELLS On Friday, October 6, 2023, The Daily Mail reported Kanye and Bianca wed on December 20, 2022. The couple tied the knot under a "confidential marriage license" in the state of California. The two wed in Palo Alto, California, according to the document. The wedding came just one month after Kanye and Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce. Recently, in Los Angeles, she strutted through the streets in a sheer nude bodysuit with no bra and furry white boots. The outfit left little to the imagination—and jaws on the floor. Kanye was reportedly upset initially but is now happy to oblige. He allegedly wanted to offer his wife of two years a yearly salary. But the Australian born beauty prefers to be paid on a 'per look or event' basis. 'She's essentially monetizing her image,' added the source who believes she has made almost $3 million since the arrangement started and was paid $120,000 to join her husband in a naked dress at the Grammys in February. And we also disclosed earlier this month that she officially launched her first U.S. company, Bianca Censori Inc. The paperwork was filed in California, but Bianca registered her full name as a business entity in her hometown of Alphington, one of Melbourne's wealthiest suburbs.

My holiday home was trashed when gender reveal party for 8 ‘went viral' & 200 guests turned up… it was out of control
The scenes were described as something out of 'Project X' RENT RAMPAGE My holiday home was trashed when gender reveal party for 8 'went viral' & 200 guests turned up… it was out of control AN Airbnb host was left fuming after a gender reveal party went viral and his holiday home ending up being trashed. The party descended into 'absolute chaos' and 'mayhem' as up to 200 youngsters showed up despite an initial booking of eight. 8 Hundreds of revellers 'hijacked' a luxury house often hired by Airbnb users with just eight on the booking Credit: SWNS 8 Crowds gather on cul-de-sac in Norden, Greater Manchester in June after a gender reveal party descended into chaos Credit: SWNS 8 Matt Genesis, 33, is a director of the company which owns the property and was shocked at the scenes Credit: SWNS Police were called to a usually quiet cul-de-sac in the Norden area of Rochdale, Manchester, to break up the massive crowd last Friday. Residents of Falcon Close said crowds of youngsters gathered on the street, and it took officers in Tactical Aid Unit vans around two hours to clear them out. One shocking image showed the scale of the gathering, amid speculation that word of the party spread on social media. More than 150 people had filled the street and parked over locals' driveways with "minibus after minibus" arriving every 15 minutes. Read More in UK News 'WORST OF HUMANITY' I stared into eyes of 7/7 bomber & saw moment he blew himself up Now, Airbnb host Matt Genesis has claimed that he was tricked after agreeing to rent his home out to a group of eight people who booked it via Instagram for a gender reveal. But the rental turned into a 'Project X' style disaster with hundreds of party-goers flooding to the venue causing chaos and £2,000 worth of damage. The 33-year-old was alerted to the chaos at his £635,000 home by frightened neighbours on June 25. Mr Genesis said: "Whilst we were there, minibus after minibus was turning up - I'd say one every 15 minutes, a minibus full of six to eight people walking in. "It was out of control - police turned up. We called them, obviously neighbours had called them. It was out of our control. "Even the guy who booked it, it was out of his control on his behalf - he said he didn't expect anywhere near the amount of people, but it's been passed around group and groups." My gender reveal was totally ruined by the Card Factory - I found out it the worst way ever we were having a boy and left disappointed He said the operation had been "calculated" - with guests disabling the home's security systems. Mr Genesis tried to log-in into the property's external security cameras only to discover they had been disconnected at the £450 a night rental. He added: "It was very much "Project X".' The disaster caused thousands of pounds worth of damage, with furniture broken and lamps seen smashed on the floor. The property, which previously underwent a £200,000 renovation and includes a hot tub and pool tables, took three staff 12 hours to clean following the party. But despite the major damage, Mr Genesis says that the only money received in return is the £450 per night charge, plus a £250 damage deposit. The property is regularly rented out via Airbnb but on this occasion was booked via Instagram. 8 The luxury guest house costs £450 a night Credit: SWNS 8 Crowds gather on cul-de-sac in Norden with neighbours shocked Credit: SWNS 8 A broken lamp left at the Airbnb Credit: SWNS Mr Genesis said: "It was so structured, before we emptied the house out the people who were there said "where do we go?". "It hit us - we seem like the bad guys, but at the same time it did ultimately hit us as well in the pocket." Neighbours peering through their windows at the time were stunned to see the commotion. Locals in the quiet village described an "out of control" night. "They looked in their 20s to me," one resident of Falcon Close said previously. He added: "It was their presence that became quite threatening really. "It was absolute mayhem." "It was very, very scary when I looked out of the window last night," another local said the morning after the chaos. 8 Police arrived and shut down the chaotic affair Credit: SWNS
