Kanye West Protective of Wife Bianca Censori While Out in All-Nude Ensemble

Kanye West is protecting his wife, Bianca Censori, from prying eyes … using his body as a shield during their latest outing — while she continues to rock wacky, revealing outfits.

The couple stepped out for lunch at the Chateau Marmont Tuesday in L.A., where Bianca opted for a surprisingly covered-up, monochromatic ensemble … which included a top, skirt, stockings, baseball hat and heels.

While she still showed some skin — her shirt was see-through, after all — her look was far more modest than what she’s been known to wear lately. As you know … BC’s been out with no pants, a completely see-through top, the teeniest bikini and more bold fashion choices. So yeah, this is relatively safe by those standards.

And yet … Ye didn’t seem to want his wife photographed on this occasion.

As you can see … he pushes Bianca behind him in order to keep photogs from taking her picture. It’s possible Kanye is simply sick of all the media attention surrounding his wife’s wardrobe … a total 180 on his attitude toward her fashion sense over the past year or so.

As for KW, he wore an all-black outfit, which included a sweat set and futuristic-looking sunglasses — a classic getup for him.

Another reason he might not have wanted attention here … Bianca and Kanye could just be trying to keep a low profile after the lawsuit drama from earlier this month — which accused Ye of A LOT when it came to alleged workplace misconduct.
