Bianca Censori, married to Kanye West, found herself in the spotlight due to her bold fashion choices. Speculations swirled about whether Ye’s influence played a role in her unconventional attire or if it bore a striking resemblance to Kim Kardashian‘s SKIMS line. Nonetheless, Censori’s barefoot escapades and flashy outfits in Italy made waves in the media. However, it was her eye-catching pillow outfit that truly stole the show, featuring a daring combination of a skin-tight bodysuit with a strategically placed pillow.

It is worth noting that she was not the trailblazer in popularizing the pillow fashion trend, as four other celebrities had already embraced the pillow-inspired look before her.

Celebrities who chose pillows as couture before Bianca Censori

When Bianca Censori paraded her pillow dress through the streets of Florence, it undoubtedly caused quite a stir. Yet, as the saying goes, fashion trends can be as fleeting as a passing breeze. During the quarantine era, when the world was grappling with a pandemic, social media witnessed the rise of a unique pillow trend. The “pillow challenge“ saw celebrities shedding their lavish attire in favor of a pillow and a simple belt. Halle Berry, an A-lister, leaped onto this quirky bandwagon, striking a pose with a black pillow in her own backyard.

As per Teen Vogue, in 2016, Emma Roberts made a bold statement on the red carpet with her stylish pillow clutch, proving that even the quirkiest trends can be a blank canvas for personal expression. Anne Hathaway followed suit by paying homage to the Princess Diaries poster with her oversized glasses, adding a touch of nostalgia to the mix. Meanwhile, Tracee Ellis Ross took it up a notch by adorning a linen-lined pillow with a neutral leather belt. These celebrities embraced the trend in their own way, showing that pillows can be more than just a spot to rest your head.

When it comes to flamboyant fashion statements, it is impossible to forget the Met Gala. The event that was all about pushing the sartorial boundaries and boldly strutting one’s stuff. At the Met Gala, fashion was not just a feather in the cap; it was the entire peacock!

The star-studded Met Gala 2023 celebrated the theme “In Honor of Karl”. It was to pay tribute to the late fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld. Celebrities showcased their artistry, with some playing it safe and others embracing audacious and out of the box ensembles. Notable moments included Janelle Monáe’s bold, non-binary-inspired ensemble, Rihanna’s flower-covered Valentino gown, Lil Nas X’s daring outfit, Jared Leto’s giant cat costume, and Doja Cat’s feline-themed look.

Rita Ora also made waves in a sheer black Prabal Gurung gown that displayed her corset’s boning. Furthermore, she accessorized it with an array of jewelry, creating a gothic-inspired look. Sydney Sweeney, also with her ‘side eye’ look left a lasting impression. Overall, the Met Gala 2023 was a dazzling display of celebrities pushing boundaries.
