Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and his wife, Bianca Censori, made a rare joint appearance in a newly shared photo marking the launch of her latest creative endeavor.
After sparking speculation about their whereabouts, the couple was revealed to be in South Korea for Censori’s newest project. On Dec. 12, Bianca posted an image to her Instagram Story showing the pair together in Seoul. In the snapshot, Kanye kept a low-key, serious look in an all-black suit paired with sunglasses, while Censori — whom he has been married to for three years — wore a nude latex bodysuit with matching pumps and carried a dramatic accessory featuring cascading cream-colored fringe. The Yeezy architect styled her dark hair straight with blunt bangs for the outing.
Censori’s outfit echoed the aesthetic of the models featured in her BIO POP project, a performance art piece that centers on themes of domesticity and identity. The work depicts a woman in a maroon latex bodysuit baking a cake in a kitchen before moving into another room occupied by five women — intended as versions of herself — dressed in nude bodysuits and arranged in furniture-like poses.
On her website, the 30-year-old explained the concept behind the piece, writing, “Domesticity is the mother of all revolutions, because all others trace back to it.”
She further described the project as, “A self-portrait in constraint: born in the domestic, the home moulds the body, the spirit and its roles. Positions learned in private are worn in public. It is the first reliquary, holding rituals and heirlooms, inscribing both body and spirit with its codes. The domestic, turned uncanny, becomes the womb of the system—the site where intimacy, confinement, and identity are first inscribed.”
The website notes that Domesticity is the first installment in a seven-part series scheduled to unfold through 2032.
While the Seoul look was comparatively more covered, the skin-toned ensemble mirrored the barely-there, flesh-like outfit Censori wore to the Grammys in February — a look that sparked widespread criticism.
Amid the backlash, Kanye publicly stood by his wife. The rapper, who shares four children — North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6 — with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, praised Censori at the time.
“My wife’s first red carpet opened a whole new world,” he wrote on X. “I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night Thinking wow I am so lucky to have a wife that is so smart talented brave and hot.”
