How does Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori get her (very) sculpted body? Experts reveal the exercises to achieve model’s toned abs – but plastic surgeons claim she may have had some help…
Kanye ‘Ye’ West’s wife Bianca Censori has become known for her theatrically explicit outfits – often pictured hand in hand with her modestly-dressed rapper husband.
And this week was no exception as the model, 29, stepped out in a silver bikini and matching skirt while out in Los Angeles.
The typically revealing ensemble showed off a very impressively toned stomach and abs, which experts say could have been achieved by a very strict workout routine – which her husband has been alleged to mandate – but others have also claimed cosmetic enhancements could be at play.
Her sculpted waist, teamed with her impressive curves, is not easy to achieve and would include juggling a number of workouts as well as relying on diet and genetics.
Speaking to FEMAIL, fitness pro Daniel Herman said the key to Bianca’s look lies in building muscle mass in the right areas while simultaneously reducing body fat.

The nutritionist, coach and founder of www.bio-synergy.uk explained: ‘This involves a combination of targeted exercises such as hip thrusts and a balanced diet.
‘Importantly, genetics play a significant role in determining body shape, so results may vary from person to person.
‘Achieving sculpted abs while maintaining a curvaceous hourglass figure typically involves a combination of targeted abdominal exercises, overall strength training, cardiovascular exercise, and a balanced diet.’
Daniel says that in terms of physical workouts, Bianca likely targets her abdominal muscles directly – and looks to ‘sculpt and define them’.
This includes crunches, bicycle crunches, planks, Russian twists, and leg raises.
‘Incorporating compound exercises such as squats, deadlifts and lunges into the workout routine engages multiple muscle groups simultaneously, including the core, which helps to promote overall fat loss and muscle definition,’ he added.
‘Strength training helps to sculpt the body but also increases metabolism, aiding in fat loss.
‘Focus on exercises that target all major muscle groups, including the legs, back, chest, shoulders, and arms, by focusing on particular muscle groups you can sculpt particularly aspects.’

He said that in terms of helping burn calories and reducing overall body fat, including around the midsection, look to ‘incorporate cardio such as HIIT, running and swimming into the routine’.
‘Pilates and yoga can help improve core strength, flexibility, and posture, contributing to a more sculpted appearance and emphasizing the natural curves of the body,’ Daniel said.
‘Proper nutrition and a balanced diet that includes plenty of lean protein (protein shakes), healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is essential for supporting muscle growth and reducing body fat.
‘Avoiding processed foods, sugary snacks, and excessive alcohol intake is also key to maintain a flat stomach and defined abs.’
The exact methods behind Bianca’s very toned abs – and ample bust – are not known. However, in October a source claimed that the model adheres to strict ‘rules’ from Ye, which includes mandated fitness.
Insiders alleged Bianca has ‘no mind of her own anymore’ and instead simply ‘obeys’ the controversial rapper, because he has convinced her they have ‘royal’ status.

‘Kanye has a set of rules for Bianca, which includes never speak and wear what he wants her to wear,’ they said.
‘She is also required to eat certain food items and to work out even though Kanye doesn’t work out.
When it comes to food, clearly a diet of kebabs, ice-cream and watermelon juice – is permitted, with Bianca pictured indulging in all three in recent months.
DailyMail.com had at the time contacted spokespersons for Bianca and Kanye for comment.
Elsewhere, cosmetics experts have also suggested that the model may have relied on ‘body sculpting’ treatments.
Plastic surgeon Dr Fadi Hamadani told FEMAIL that Bianca’s aesthetic enhancements ‘may include body sculpting treatments such as BodyTite, to contour an sculpt areas like the hips, buttocks, and arms’.
‘This minimally invasive procedure is popular amongst Hollywood celebrities and is designed to improve body shape and achieve a more sculpted appearance,’ he added.
‘In addition to body sculpting, its likely that Bianca has opted for facial aesthetic treatments to enhance her features.
‘Botox injections could have been used to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, providing a more youthful look. Dermal fillers may have been used to enhance the cheeks and lips, adding volume and definition to these areas.
‘There is a possibility that Bianca has also undergone a rhinoplasty procedure as her nose looks slightly different in previous pictures – this surgical intervention can reshape and refine the nose, addressing any aesthetic concerns and achieving a more balanced facial profile.
‘As well as that, its likely that Bianca undergoes regular laser facials and skin tightening treatments such as Morpheus8 to keep her skin looking fresh and youthful.’
Meanwhile, surgeon Mark Solomos added that he believes Bianca’s waist and thighs may have undergone treatment too.
‘I would suspect Bianca Censori has had some micro canulation liposuction on her hips, waist and thighs which look very slim- this is where we use tiny cannulas less than 3mm in diameter, resulting in smaller incisions and quicker recovery,’ he explained.
‘It also looks likely she has had a breast augmentation at some point due to the shape, bit I’d say this was a while ago as there appears to be quite a natural sag suggesting there may have been some natural weight gain/loss.
‘Bianca’s lips have always been fairly full in appearance, but again I’d she may likely have had also had a small amount of filler in them to keep them looking plump.

But Dr Ducu added that while it’s possible Bianca may have had some sort of procedure, ‘ surgery alone does not work miracles’. Pictured in 2022
‘There has been some speculation of butt implants, however, she naturally has an hourglass figure which dependent on clothing choices looks bigger/smaller in some images so it’s difficult to say and she may well be blessed with very slim legs and waist to a larger derriere, which is fairly rare and disproportionate to the rest of the body.’
But Dr Ducu added that while it’s possible Bianca may have had some sort of procedure, ‘surgery alone does not work miracles’.
‘Even with procedures like liposuction or lipofilling (lipo BBL), maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regularly hitting the gym is crucial to avoid saggy skin, cellulite, and other potential complications,’ he explained.
‘While it is possible that Bianca received some help, it appears that she is doing an excellent job in maintaining her new look through consistent exercise and a healthy diet.
‘I have observed the photos, and there are no visible signs of fibrosis, which is impressive. Additionally, the speculation surrounding her face may be attributed to her talented makeup artist, as there are no apparent signs of lip filler in the photos and videos I have encountered.’
It is not confirmed if Bianca has undergone any cosmetic procedures – but old friends have said that Ye’s wife wasn’t always the spitting image of her predecessor Kim Kardashian.
She has undergone quite the makeover since her days as a Melbourne student, according to one of her high school friends, and now looks more like Kim, 43, than her old self.
‘Her nose is different, her face is different. Her butt is different,’ the friend, whose name is Lucy, told Nova FM’s Fitzy & Wippa last year.

‘The only thing that’s not different, I’d say, is her boobs. Her boobs came in early, in about year seven,’ added Lucy, who last spoke to Bianca six years ago.
When asked what Bianca was like at school, Lucy only had positive memories of the Yeezy ‘architect’.
‘She was lovely. She was always, you know, giving everyone the time a day,’ she said.
‘She was definitely in the popular group, I would say so she was definitely like the hot one in the year. But in saying that, she wasn’t… b****y or anything,’ Lucy added.
Elsewhere, Lucy described how Bianca had ‘a lot of interest’ from the opposite sex growing up, and was previously in a three-year relationship.
As for whether her marriage will stand the test of time, Lucy admitted: ‘I don’t think it’s gonna last with Kanye, no.’
Bianca grew up at Ivanhoe, a well-heeled Melbourne suburb, and studied for the Victorian Certificate of Education at Kew’s prestigious Carey Baptist Grammar School. Bianca is pictured centre as a student at Carey Baptist Grammar School in 2011

Kim and Bianca, who both boast hourglass frames, full lips and ample busts, could easily be mistaken for sisters.
Like Kim, Bianca is also a fan of figure-hugging outfits and boasts a very similar wardrobe to the TV star.
In echoes to Kim, Bianca has also in recent history dyed her dark brown locks peroxide blonde.
Kim spent hours dying her naturally dark hair colour in 2022 when she wore Marilyn Monroe’s Mr President birthday dress in tribute of the blonde bombshell.
Bianca is ‘head of architecture’ at Kanye’s fashion brand Yeezy, having moved from Melbourne to work in Los Angeles after being headhunted on Instagram by the rapper, 46, himself.
Bianca grew up at Ivanhoe, a well-heeled Melbourne suburb, and studied for the Victorian Certificate of Education at Kew’s prestigious Carey Baptist Grammar School.
She mixed mostly with students from Ivanhoe Grammar School, as well as Kew’s Methodist Ladies’ College, and the Catholic Genazzano FCJ College and Xavier College.
A high school peer told Daily Mail Australia that Bianca ‘always ran in private school circles’.
‘She was friendly with the Xavier and Ivanhoe Grammar boys and hung out with Genazzano and MLC girls,’ she said.
A source close to Kim told Page Six the star of Keeping Up with the Kardashians (left) had sensed ‘there was a certain frisson’ between Kanye and Bianca
‘She’s super close with her family, who from memory were always considerably private people. So the fact Bianca has married someone so high-profile must have taken them by surprise.’
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.
Kim filed for divorce last February after nearly seven years of marriage. The former couple share four children, North, nine, Saint, seven, Chicago, four, and Psalm, three (all pictured)
‘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.’
Bianca, who has worked for Yeezy since November 2020, ‘wed’ Kanye two months after his divorce from 43-year-old Kim was finalised.
The pair reportedly celebrated their union at a private ceremony and both have been seen wearing wedding rings.
The informal nuptials have apparently not been followed the filing of a marriage certificate.
After the non-legally binding ceremony made headlines, Kim shared a series of cryptic quotes on Instagram, including: ‘I’m really in my quiet girl era, I don’t have much to say. Just much to do.’
Another read: ‘Just remember, the black sheep usually turns into a goat. Keep doing you.’
A source close to Kim told Page Six the star of Keeping Up with the Kardashians had sensed ‘there was a certain frisson’ between Kanye and Bianca.
‘Kim hates her,’ the source said. ‘She’s pretty. And Kim hates pretty girls.’
Last month, Kanye paid tribute to his ‘wife’ by releasing the 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.’
