Kanye West, ever the controversial figure, turned heads with his unconventional look alongside his “naked” boo, Bianca Censori. Kanye, known for pushing boundaries, kept it typically understated but intentionally strange—draped in an all black  outfit, while Bianca, had to match the “no rules” theme.
