It’s Emperor Kanye and his ‘chief architect’ – guess which one wasn’t wearing any clothes?

What precisely is the deal with Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, whose latest very surprising red-carpet outing very unsurprisingly featured her being next-to-naked? Bianca’s husband, who dresses like a Minecraft security guard, seemed to be giving her the signal to shed her fur coat and reveal herself outside Sunday night’s Grammys, to which they don’t appear to have been invited. Certainly a hot new twist on the old 13th fairy act.

Given that Bianca is rarely photographed in anything heavier than a 5-denier sex poncho, half the internet seems to have settled definitively on the conviction that she is being coercively controlled. The other half has decided the pair enjoy the attention their “art project” is receiving. I’m not sure it’s entirely clear which is the case, or indeed whether it’s a bit of both for now, and in any case she may reevaluate her opinions about the situation in retrospect as time goes by.
