Bianca Censori Debuts New Look in Tokyo — But It's Not Her Outfit That Has Everyone Buzzing

Bianca Censori is turning heads again but not with her outfits this time. The Australian wife of Kanye West has now grabbed headlines for her wild new hairstyle which she sported while out in an eatery in Tokyo, Japan. The Yeezy architect, who is known for her daring ensembles, left people scratching their heads with a shockingly dramatic hairstyle, to put it mildly. 

The 29-year-old was photographed at the Gold Bar at Tokyo's Edition Hotel on Friday, October 18, wearing a nude one-shoulder sleeveless top with her hair seemingly sticking out from all directions. The startling hairdo was nothing like she had previously sported, and the teased-out style looked like a lion's mane. She sat beside Ye, smiling wide in a black tank top and black shades. The couple was hanging out with friends, including Aus Taylor, who directed three recordings of Ye's live performances, per Page Six.

TMZ reported that the Vultures hitmaker had been staying in Tokyo to work on his new album Bully. Music journalist Touré told the outlet that the controversial rapper is putting all his energy, efforts, and money to self-produce (his new album) from the confines of a hotel room since he does not own a property in the metropolis and referred to Ye as an 'upper-class homeless.' 

The hair-raising transformation comes months after she rocked a daring pink hairdo in a punky neon shade. Though, for Censori, it was her first-ever attempt at this style, the pink trend has been a popular choice among rebellious public figures like Kurt Cobain, Marie Antoinette, Madonna, and Kylie Jenner. Censori revealed her bright pink locks back in June while she was seen out and about with her husband Ye in Paris. 

A Positive Psychology Coach and Master Practitioner in body image, Elle Mace, told the Daily Mail that though pink hair is no new trend, for Censori, it is more than just a new look. "Pink hair is a bold and attention-grabbing color. It's a great way to stand out from the crowd and showcase your individuality and independence," said Mace. So for Censori, coloring her hair pink could be a sign of breaking away from the mold of her husband. The Psychology expert further claimed that besides being a bold color, pink allows "many people to express themselves at a time where they may have felt out of control" and is also "seen as a symbol of rebellion against societal expectations and conventional beauty standards."

In Censori's case, this could have played a role as several sources allegedly claimed Ye "exerts total control" on his wife's life. One insider told OK! Magazine, "He films her from every angle before they go out. Then he critiques her body right down to her private parts — it's so demeaning," adding that the control has extended as far as "she's not even allowed to go to bed until he tells her. He says it's for her benefit, but he's turned her into his own Stepford Wife."
