Prior to making a name for herself as Mrs. Kanye West, Bianca Censori lived a quiet life in Melbourne, where she was known as a stylish and smart 'social butterfly.'
After making headlines for her latest scandalous stunt at the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday, which involved exposing herself to the world, DailyMail.com took a look back on the Australian designer's past as a series of photos from her tamer past have resurfaced.
While she has caused quite the stir with her provocative fashion choices since tying the knot with the Gold Digger hitmaker, 47, Censori, 30, previously had a wholesome upbringing in Ivanhoe, a well-heeled Melbourne suburb.
In 2023, Daily Mail Australia spoke to confidantes and colleagues of Censori, who studied for the Victorian Certificate of Education at Kew's prestigious Carey Baptist Grammar School.
A high school peer told Daily Mail Australia that Bianca 'always ran in private school circles'.

Another school friend said while Bianca was in the 'popular' group, she 'always had time for people outside her social circle'.
'I would describe Bianca as a social butterfly - the kind of girl who was friends with everyone,' the peer told Daily Mail Australia.
'Like, she was never an intimidating mean girl. I think it would surprise people how smart she is.'
After graduating in 2012 with a VCE that put her near the top of her school, Bianca obtained a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Melbourne in 2017.
A childhood friend said Bianca was always going to succeed at whatever she chose to do.
'She was a party girl after high school; she never missed all the big social events like nightclubbing or going to the Spring Racing Carnival,' she said.
'I can't say I'm surprised she's ended up working for Yeezy. She has always been stylish and pushed boundaries in fashion.
'At one point she was running her own jewellery business. I am surprised she's married Kanye, though.'
Another female friend recalled attending the four-day Rainbow Serpent festival with Bianca in Lexton in January 2017.
'Bianca was always a bit of an "It girl",' she said. 'We partied together at Rainbow Serpent back in the day and she was up for a good time.
'I loved that she so boldly wore nipple pasties!'
Bianca returned to university to complete a Master of Architecture from 2019 to 2020.
A former colleague at a South Yarra furniture store remembered Bianca had always applied herself to work.
'While I haven't been in touch with Bianca for a number of years, I can confirm she was a very hard-working young lady,' she said. 'I was certainly surprised to read she's gotten hitched to Kanye West - good for her.'
After tying the knot, West released his track, Censori Overload, a play on her last name.
In the lyrics, he revealed he stayed celibate before tying the knot, singing: 'And The Bible said, I can't have any more sex 'til marriage.'
The song appears to reference his split from Kim, opening with the lines, 'Waking up to "I can't do this anymore" text,' before adding: 'I know it's 'cause the headlines / Why she wanna leave?'
In April 2022, Bianca gave a lecture to the University of Malta about working with Kanye, telling students: 'At Yeezy we were able to develop a Donda language, an aesthetic with Kanye, which has informed both of our design aesthetics.'
Bianca also showed students several housing projects she was working on at Yeezy, saying: 'I developed a space where you can sit, listen to water trickle, and watch how it comes in and out of your residence.'
