EXCLUSIVE Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori is nearly naked in wild outfit after calls for 'public indecency' arrest
Kanye West 's wife Bianca Censori pulled off another jaw-dropping stunt in New York City on Saturday. Since their secret 2022 wedding, Bianca has made a habit of turning heads with the barely-there outfits her husband styles her in — and the Big Apple outing was no exception. This latest near-naked moment only adds to a long list of viral looks, with her most unforgettable being that sheer, nothing-to-the-imagination dress at the 2025 Grammys. She's also sparked controversy abroad — notably during her scandalous, skin-baring strolls in Spain, where she even faced calls to be arrested for public indecency. Just two days ago, Bianca stepped out daringly in a plunging nude leotard that left little to the imagination. Saturday's NYC outing was no different, with the stunner hitting the streets alongside her famous husband in a black fur-trimmed coat that barely covered her breasts. Her skimpy black underwear also left her lower half practically exposed. Bianca and Kanye were spotted leaving a hotel together, with the rapper trailing closely behind the Australian beauty. While Bianca's daring outfit left little to the imagination, Kanye kept it low-key in an all-black ensemble of leather pants and a leather jacket. He completed the look with dark sunglasses, keeping a noticeably low profile amid the media frenzy. The couple's contrasting styles couldn't have been more obvious as they made their way through the city streets. The outing comes after 50 Cent wasted no time taking aim at Kanye and Bianca after the rapper made a surprise appearance at Sean ' Diddy ' Combs' federal sex trafficking trial last Friday. The 49-year-old Grammy winner, who has been an outspoken critic of Diddy, weighed in after Kanye showed up at the Manhattan courthouse alongside Diddy's son Christian Combs. West told reporters he was there to show support for the embattled Bad Boy Records founder. Diddy is facing explosive allegations from federal prosecutors, who claim he ran a criminal enterprise that facilitated so-called 'freak offs' — alleged drug-fueled orgies involving paid sex workers. Shortly after West's appearance, 50 Cent took to Instagram to mock the couple, posting an AI-generated photo of himself dressed in an all-white outfit next to footage of Kanye arriving at court in his own similar all-white ensemble. In his caption, the In Da Club hitmaker didn't hold back, even referencing Censori's nearly-nude look from the Grammy Awards red carpet earlier this year. 'We are wearing white in honor of the freak offs,' 50 Cent wrote. 'Damn Ye you should have brought your dirty little wife with that Grammys outfit! @50centaction' Meanwhile, Kanye was reportedly not on the approved attendee list for the day and was instructed to watch the proceedings via a closed-circuit video feed in the overflow room. He left the courthouse after about 30 minutes. Since walking down the aisle with Censori, the rapper has encouraged his wife to wear a number of very racy looks, which have caused a stir online. Last month, Censori angered locals after baring her breasts in a sheer bra during a shopping trip with West in Spain. Locals were 'left horrified' as the couple walked through the market in the revealing ensemble. One witness told People were horrified. They could be heard asking "is that her real nipple?" as they walked by.' Despite the backlash, women have been allowed to go topless in certain areas of Spain since 2020 under Catalan equality law. 'We have literally seen it all, even when we didn't want to,' another said, while a third wrote: 'So disrespectful to the country and their modest views.' 'How do they get away with this nudity? If any other non - celeb tried it, they would be arrested,' another asked. No strangers to scandal, West and Censori have continuously raised eyebrows over their choices in clothing, with Bianca's barely-there looks sparking fury from locals. During a previous Italian trip in 2023, Censori wore a slew of eccentric outfits during the couple's getaway. At the time, a source close to her husband told the New York Post claimed that Censori was 'talked into' wearing the nude dress. One of Kanye's earliest controversies with Kim came in 2016, when he released 'Famous' and included the line, 'I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex… I made that b***h famous,' which Kim later defended with secretly recorded audio 'She would have much rather worn a pretty dress,' the insider said. 'She would have enjoyed the evening a lot more.' West is said to have lost a $20 million deal to play in Japan as a result of his controversial stunt. A source said: 'Kanye is just ****ing up every opportunity that comes to him. The stunt was creepy beyond belief and has been greeted with horror in Japan.' He added: 'Japan is having a cultural awakening about women's rights and the MeToo movement is really strong here. What he did is being seen as an act of coercive control which is utterly unacceptable. He has completely culturally misjudged Japan.'

Sydney Opera House: The one man on speed dial for 50 years
Since the Sydney Opera House opened over 50 years ago, countless musical stars, world leaders and awestruck patrons have visited its iconic outside forecourt has been blanketed by thousands of bare bodies in the name of art and, inside, an only slightly less naked Arnold Schwarzenegger even won a body-building title. There have been renovations and controversies, protests staged and history the constant, through it all, is Terry been tuning the building's pianos for half a century, working behind the scenes to make sure the uber-technical instruments are ready for the world's best a family legacy started by his father when the Opera House first opened in 1973 - and one that ended this week, with Terry's retirement. The 69-year-old still remembers the first time he stepped into the half-finished Opera House, as a wide-eyed child."The sails were up, but it was all very bare," he tells the BBC, gesturing to the edges of the grand Concert Hall."There was nothing inside… You could see out to the harbour on both sides."At the time, he had no inkling he'd spend most of his life inside the iconic venue. His dad, on the other hand, no doubt had grand plans, Terry then, Liverpool emigrant Ron Harper was renowned on the Sydney music scene as both a piano tuner and a performer."He would take me to these nightclubs as a [kid] in my little school uniform. And I would be seeing all of these world-class acts," Terry recalls. He rattles off a list including Welsh songstress Dame Shirley Bassey, stage icon Liza Minelli, and British TV and music darling Cilla Black – whom they even drove home after her performance one night."It was an interesting childhood," Terry surmises, with a it's one which instilled in him a love of music – even if he wasn't particularly interested in making it ironically, Terry admits he spent about a year learning piano before giving it up, dabbling with the drums and his school choir was in 1973, shortly after the Opera House was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II, that his father Ron got his fateful call-up."One day, the Sydney Symphony was rehearsing downstairs, and the piano hadn't been tuned particularly well by whoever had been in in the morning," Terry says. "One of the people working here knew my dad." Three years later, a 19-year-old Terry would join Ron under the sails, after completing a one-year piano tuning course when he left started on rehearsal pianos in the backroom, while building up his skills and confidence, before finally taking over when his dad retired a decade days, he can walk into a room and immediately know if the piano is out of tune."I always had a very good sense of pitch," he says, "[but] it's difficult to master."And it's all done by on the piano in front of him, he explains this one has 243 strings. For most of the keys, three separate steel wires combine to make the note."Once they start to deviate from the same frequency, they cause these things which we call beats, and that's what we're listening for when we're tuning.""Can you hear this?" he asks, I – a music pleb - cannot."It's not like tuning a guitar," he says, offering me some solace. The process can take up to 90 minutes, and each of the 30 pianos in the building need to be tuned basically every time they're used."There's so many strings in there that can wander out of tune, especially when you're playing big piano concertos," Terry explains."I refer to these as being F1 racing cars… They're really gunning them."It can be a demanding and relentless job."It doesn't stop. And it's night times, it's early mornings, it's two and three times a day," Terry the perks – which include brushing shoulders with some of the globe's most-decorated musicians and easy access to the most sought-after tickets in town - aren't to be scoffed at, he hastens to has also tuned pianos in many other notable locations - from the Royal Albert Hall and Abbey Road Studios to the BBC broadcast none occupy a spot in his heart like the Opera House."For me, it's a very happy place. It's pretty much been my life." Earlier this year, after five decades, Terry decided it was time to hang up the tools."I got quite cozy during Covid, not having to work," he son couldn't be tempted to take up the family business – "he's into computer stuff, like all good young men are" – and so Friday also marked the end of the Harper legacy inside the Sydney Opera venue has opened a tender for a new contractor to tune their pianos – and Terry says he's heard a rumour they could be replacing him with several tuners."I think somebody owes me some money… I've been doing the work of six people," he aside, he admits that as his departure has crept closer, a wave of emotions came with it."Piano tuners, we're fairly solitary," he says. "We like to be in a room by ourselves with quiet, because you have to focus and listen to what you're doing… [but] I've always had the camaraderie of all the people that work here.""I'm going to miss the place."
