It comes after young Parisians raised concerns about Bianca’s behavior in the French capital after she was seen wearing a revealing outfit made only of duct tape.
This is due to fears that the Australian architect, 29, is being “controlled” by her husband as she steps out in a variety of skimpy outfits.

It comes after young Parisians raised concerns about Bianca’s behavior in the French capital after she was seen wearing a revealing outfit made solely of duct tape.
The outfit, one of Bianca’s most revealing to date, saw her wear bandage-style straps that only covered her nipples while out and about with her stylist Gadir Rajab.
She wore a pair of low-slung beige pedals, constructed from strips of beige tape wrapped around her legs, with slight gaps that opened as she walked toward the restaurant.
Bianca’s loved ones have expressed their fears after she married Kanye in December 2022, with some even going so far as to stage an intervention, while her father Leo was reportedly set to confront the rapper over his clothes X-rated daughter.
Speaking to MailOnline on Friday, some Parisians found his outfits “worrying” and claimed Kanye’s “publicity stunts” were “bizarre” and “dangerous.”
Sarra Sean, a 20-year-old linguist, said: “She’s free to do what she wants with her own body, but it’s a bit strange.”
“I don’t really like celebrities, but clearly there has to be some concern if a famous person acts strangely. “Some of Kanye’s political statements have been very concerning lately.”
San Zaya, an 18-year-old student, said both Bianca Censori and Kanya West had a responsibility to “be a good example for young people.”
She explained: ‘Kanya in particular is world famous and a very influential artist, so everything he does is copied everywhere.
“People can dress how they look, but if they are forced to behave a certain way on camera, that can be very dangerous.”
‘These two are massively followed on social media. I like Kanye West’s music, but I don’t like some of the publicity that’s surrounded him lately.’
There were claims following a jaunt to Italy last year that Ms Censori’s risqué outfits could get her arrested for public indecency, but Paris lawyers have since said “it’s a ridiculous idea”.
A source working for city prosecutors said: “Paris is the fashion capital of the world; no one risks prosecution for their fashion choices.”
