Kanye West’s wife, Bianca Censori, apparently took a judge’s warning about her courtroom attire very seriously … looking almost unrecognizable as she delivered testimony to a Los Angeles jury.
Censori showed up to Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles Thursday morning in a long black skirt and a buttoned-up, long-sleeved black top. She had her hair pulled back and accompanied the look with a pair of glasses.
Inside the courtroom, Censori testified in a lawsuit brought against West by handyman Tony Saxon who claims he was ripped off by the rapper while renovating Ye’s $57 million Malibu mansion.
Throughout her testimony, Censori mostly downplayed her involvement in the renovations to the jury, telling them she wasn’t really involved in the project and didn’t remember details of Saxon’s work.

The outfit was a far cry from Censori’s usual get-ups — which usually leave little to the imagination.
Apparently familiar with West and Censori, Judge Brock T. Hammond issued a stern warning before the trial started. “The parties and witnesses you’re calling must comply with the basic dress code of the court. No hats, sunglasses, or revealing clothing. No drama,” he said.

“And if someone doesn’t comply, they will not be allowed in the courtroom. If a witness is not dressed appropriately, they will be turned around at the door.”
Saxon sued West claiming he was fired for raising safety concerns and was only paid once despite being told he would get $20,000 per week for the renovation of West’s $57 million mansion.

West first bought the Tadao Ando-designed concrete beachfront home in 2021. He had construction crews totally strip the structure of all electricity and plumbing — even getting rid of the glass windows for a total open-air concept.
Kanye then abandoned the project in 2024, selling the Malibu home for just $21 million, a massive loss. West is scheduled to testify on Friday about his dealings with Saxon.
