Kanye West's reported obsession with putting wife Bianca Censori in ever more provocative outfits has allegedly cost him up to $400,000, with insiders claiming the rapper has repeatedly paid the Australian architect to wear revealing ensembles designed to keep the couple firmly in the headlines.
The latest claims come after Bianca, 30, stepped out in Los Angeles wearing a completely sheer black catsuit that exposed her bare bottom as she arrived for a laser hair removal appointment.
According to reports, the daring appearance is just the latest in a series of headline-grabbing looks that insiders say have come with a hefty price tag for Kanye.
Sources allege the Yeezy founder has become increasingly determined to use Bianca's wardrobe as an extension of his creative vision, while Bianca has reportedly recognised the commercial value of the attention her appearances generate and now negotiates compensation before agreeing to wear some of his boldest fashion concepts.
Neither Kanye nor Bianca has publicly addressed the allegations.
Kanye's Alleged Wardrobe Obsession Has Reportedly Cost Thousands
According to insiders, Kanye's desire to keep Bianca at the centre of public attention has led him to spend as much as $400,000 on payments related to her increasingly revealing outfits.
The source claimed Bianca does not always like the ensembles Kanye asks her to wear and has begun treating the appearances as business opportunities.
'A lot of the outfits aren't to her taste', the insider alleged. 'But she tells him she will wear them — if she's paid.'
One of the highest-profile examples came when Bianca wore a candy bra and thong set during a public outing in New York earlier this year. According to previous reports cited by The U.S. Sun, she initially rejected the look before Kanye allegedly offered her $100,000 to wear it.
The insider claimed the candy lingerie was only one of several paid appearances, with Kanye allegedly agreeing to substantial payments whenever Bianca was reluctant to wear one of his more controversial creations. Those reported payouts have now accumulated to an estimated $400,000.
'He's dressing her up in the most extravagant outfits to keep his edgy persona firmly in the public eye and to make sure everyone thinks she's the sexiest woman alive', the source alleged.
Insiders also claimed Bianca understands the attention generated by each appearance and believes she deserves to benefit financially from the publicity surrounding her image.
Bianca's Latest Sheer Catsuit Is the Newest Headline-Grabbing Look
The latest outfit linked to the claims was Bianca's revealing sheer black catsuit, which she wore while arriving at a beauty clinic in Los Angeles.
The transparent one-piece left her bare bottom visible as she walked into the appointment. She completed the look with oversized black sunglasses and black heels, while wearing her dark hair pulled back into a sleek ponytail.
The appearance continues a pattern of increasingly daring public looks that have become synonymous with the couple since Bianca married Kanye in late 2022.
Earlier this year, she attracted worldwide attention after appearing in an almost transparent outfit at the Grammy Awards before later stepping out in the now-infamous candy lingerie ensemble in New York.
According to the insider, Bianca has become increasingly strategic about those appearances, recognising that her image has become an integral part of Kanye's brand while also boosting her own public profile.
The source alleged she now negotiates payment before agreeing to certain outfits, transforming what began as Kanye's styling vision into a lucrative arrangement for herself.
