Bianca Censori commanded attention in a sculpted ivory corset as she celebrated her husband Kanye West's 49th birthday at the Palace of Versailles, the very French royal château where he once hoped to marry his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, but was refused permission.
The Australian architect embraced the evening's lavish masquerade theme in a figure-hugging satin corset with dramatic feather detailing, a voluminous tulle bustle, and towering nude heels.
An oversized white feathered fascinator concealed much of her face, adding to the theatrical aesthetic as she posed alongside Kanye inside one of the world's most iconic palaces.
While Bianca's daring ensemble stole the spotlight, the venue itself sparked fresh interest. Kanye's decision to host the exclusive birthday celebration at Versailles revived memories of his abandoned wedding plans with Kim Kardashian, after the former couple was denied permission to marry at the historic landmark more than a decade ago.
Instead, Kanye and Kim famously tied the knot in Florence, Italy, in May 2014, after French authorities reportedly refused to allow a ceremony at the protected royal residence.

Bianca Turns Heads in Couture-Inspired Corset
Bianca once again proved why she has become one of fashion's most talked-about celebrities, stepping out in a striking ivory satin corset that accentuated her signature hourglass silhouette.
The structured design featured exposed boning, delicate front fastenings and a dramatically cinched waist before flowing into a voluminous white tulle bustle. She completed the eye-catching look with sheer nude heels and an elaborate feathered fascinator that covered much of her face while complementing the masquerade dress code.
Her brunette hair was swept into a sleek, low bun beneath the extravagant headpiece, while understated make-up kept the focus firmly on the couture-inspired ensemble.
Kanye, meanwhile, remained true to his signature monochrome style, dressing entirely in black with leather gloves, oversized boots, and a full face mask that concealed his identity throughout much of the evening.
One of the most striking images from the celebration showed Bianca perched on Kanye's lap beside a grand harp inside one of Versailles' opulent salons, with the lavish surroundings providing a fitting backdrop for the couple's latest headline-grabbing appearance.
The intimate celebration reportedly welcomed around 20 close friends before continuing into the early hours at the luxurious Airelles Château de Versailles hotel. Reports suggested the extravagant festivities cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Versailles Choice Revives Kim Kardashian Wedding Memories
Although Bianca's fashion choice dominated the evening's photographs, Kanye's selection of Versailles quickly became one of the biggest talking points.
The rapper deliberately chose the Palace of Versailles despite its deeply personal connection to his former marriage.
The publication reported: 'Former couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye had originally planned to marry at the French royal château, but were denied permission.'
Versailles, one of France's most treasured historic landmarks, rarely hosts private wedding ceremonies, meaning Kanye and Kim were forced to abandon their original plans.
Instead, the former couple exchanged vows at Florence's Forte di Belvedere in an extravagant ceremony attended by family and celebrity friends in 2014.
By returning to the palace to celebrate his 49th birthday with Bianca, Kanye inevitably reignited discussion about one of the most famous celebrity weddings that never happened.
Bianca and Kanye married in a private ceremony in December 2022, shortly after his divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalised. Since then, the pair have regularly dominated headlines with Bianca's increasingly daring wardrobe choices, many of which have divided opinion online.
