Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori COPIES Kim Kardashian in plunging nude bodysuit
Kanye West 's wife Bianca Censori channeled Kim Kardashian in a daring new photo shoot, which left little to the imagination. While rocking just a plunging nude bodysuit, fishnet stockings and high heels, the 30-year-old Australian architect appeared to be taking a page from her spouse's ex, 44. The new images of Censori looked ripped straight from one of Kardashian's Skims campaigns, specifically from her shapewear brand's collaboration with Swarovski in 2023. Censori even copied a few of the reality star's signature poses as she bared her bottom toward the camera in one shot and laid down with her back arched in another. West, 47, famously married Censori just two months after finalizing his divorce from Kim Kardashian during a secret wedding ceremony in December 2022. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021 after six years of marriage. The former couple share four children together: North West 11, Saint West 9, Chicago West 7, and Psalm West, 6. Over the years, Kardashian has been accused of taking inspiration from Censori's wardrobe and racy fashion choices, often attributed to West's influence. Earlier this year, West was branded a hypocrite for encouraging Censori to dress provocatively after previously pleading with Kardashian to cover up. After Censori sparked outrage for wearing a completely see-through dress at the Grammys in February, social media users resurfaced footage of West telling Kardashian it 'hurt' his soul when she wore revealing outfits. The moment, which occurred during a a 2019 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, showed West shaming his then-wife for dressing 'too sexy' ahead of her imminent Met Gala appearance. After spending eight months perfecting her Thierry Mugler look for the event, the reality star was left anxiety-ridden when her husband criticized her appearance at the last minute. Despite Kardashian already feeling jittery, West made it clear he wasn't a fan of her custom-made, nude-colored corset, designed to look like as though she was dripping wet. Censori even copied a few of the reality star's signature poses as she bared her bottom toward the camera in one shot and laid down with her back arched in another As he took in the look, the rapper frowned at the style of her dress as he declared it didn't match with his personal evolution from being a single guy to a married man. 'I just made this transition from being a rapper, looking at all these girls, looking at my wife,' he mused. 'Like, ''Oh, my girl needs to be like the other girls, showing her body off''.' 'I didn't realize that that was affecting my soul and my spirit as someone that's married and loved, and the father of now, what—about to be four kids?,' Kanye said. At the time, Kanye and Kim were just days away from becoming parents to their fourth child Psalm, who they welcomed via a surrogate. 'A corset is like a form of underwear,' Kanye continued. 'It's hot. It's like, it's hot for who, though?' 'So the night before the Met, you're gonna come in here and say that you're not into a corset bust?' Kim asked. 'I'm getting really bad anxiety. What are you talking about?' 'I don't need any more negative energy for you to now say that you're not into me in a tight dress,' she pointed out. 'You are my wife, and it affects me when pictures are too sexy,' Kanye said. 'You built me up to be this sexy person and confidence and all this stuff,' Kim adroitly pointed out. 'And just because you're on a journey and you're on a transformation doesn't mean that I'm in the same spot with you.' This prompts West to storm off after saying: 'All right, cool.' 'That's absolutely ridiculous,' Kim muttered. Following backlash over her remarks over her look, at the time, West doubled down on his stance while appearing on Beats 1's Zane Lowe on Apple Music. 'I suffer and I appreciate the suffering because we can feel a little bit of what Jesus experienced, but I suffer on social media,' Kanye said. 'There are other married men that I know are happy to hear me say that.' He continued: 'Social media prompts women, in particular, to put out content that they wouldn't in the past. When I was younger and I wanted to see something like that I had to pay someone who was older … Now I have friends who have kids in high school and it's readily available.' West's opinion about how his wife should dress drastically changed after finalizing his high-profile divorce from Kardashian in 2022. 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.

Sabrina Carpenter bares all in cheeky teaser clip as she hints at next project
Sabrina Carpenter fans have been left too stunned to speak amid the news of a possible new song titled 'Manchild', with many claiming the next track will make her 'Queen of Summer' Sabrina Carpenter raised the temperatures after posting an impromptu cheeky clip possibly teasing some new music. Fans are already claiming it to be 'the song of the summer', with others also thinking it could be a shout out to her ex, Barry Keoghan. The singer shook the internet after sharing a vintage-inspired teaser clip on her social media accounts. Wearing a white top, a pair of cheeky denim shorts and course, platform high heels, Sabrina is seen hitchhiking, but is ignored by two cars passing by. The 17-second clip is silent, with no music heard over the scene and ends with Sabrina saying "Oh, boy." The new song is believed to be titled 'Manchild' after several billboards with her initials 'SC' were spotted across the US. At the age of 26, Sabrina has secured her status as a rising pop star after releasing her hit song 'Espresso' in April 2024. What was meant to be "a little song before Coachella" ended up reaching the number three spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent over a year on the chart. It also marked Sabrina's first top-ten single, leading her to win her first-ever Grammy award for Best Pop Solo Performance. With currently 2.27 billion streams on Spotify, 'Espresso' became the summer song for 2024 -and now, fans are hopeful that 'Manchild' could be the summer anthem of 2025. One commented: 'Sabrina saved summer 2024 with espresso, now coming to save summer 2025,' with another adding: 'Song of the summer incoming.' A third fan wrote: 'We're going to have a sabrina carpenter song called 'Manchild'... That's powerful.' Adding a GIF clip of four women making a manifestation, one joked: 'Sabrina Carpenter's new single will not be about Barry Keoghan.' "So excited for Sabrina Carpenter's new single 'Manchild' to drop!," a fan commented. Another one said: "OMFG SABRINA CARPENTER IS BACK WE ARE SO F***ING READY." Naturally, the possibility of new music has excited Sabrina fans, who have been craving a taste of what she has been working on. The teaser comes after rumours that Sabrina was cast as the lead character for the upcoming sequel of Mamma Mia 3. The former Disney Channel star could follow in the footsteps of Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried and Lily James at the heart of the beloved franchise. And for fans eager to bring to an end the seven-year drought since the release of Mamma Mia 2, they may not have much longer to wait. The creator behind the original West End show and its two immensely popular movie spin-offs off Judy Cramer has revealed she has written a script and work for the ABBA-themed musical is once again in the works. Speaking to Deadline, the producer hinted at Carpenter's remarkable resemblance to both Seyfried and Streep's original character: "She'd be a goddess or some relation who would look very much like Meryl Streep," she said. "We know what we want to do with the movie, and it will happen.'
