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.’

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.
