Kanye West<\/a> and Bianca Censori<\/a> are going viral once again, this time by bringing back one of the internet’s biggest trends from the 2010s.<\/p>\n

In the TikTok video shared by Censori, the couple and several partygoers performed the Mannequin Challenge<\/a>, appearing frozen in place while attending a birthday celebration for her stylist, Gadir Rajab, during Art Basel in Switzerland over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The Mannequin Challenge was one of the biggest viral trends of 2016. The challenge asked participants to freeze in place like mannequins while a camera moved around them, creating the illusion that time had stopped. The videos were soundtracked by “Black Beatles,” Rae Sremmurd’s hit featuring Gucci Mane, which became inseparable from the craze and eventually climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n

The appearance marked another public outing for the couple, who have spent much of the year making headlines for their fashion choices and unconventional appearances.<\/p>\n

The event was hosted by Gadir Rajab, the stylist widely credited with shaping Censori’s increasingly daring wardrobe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rajab, 32, was born in Melbourne to parents who emigrated from Lebanon during the Lebanese Civil War. He initially found success as a model, moving to New York City at 18 before transitioning to photography and eventually launching his own fashion label, Raga Malak.<\/p>\n

The brand reflects Rajab’s taste for minimal, body-conscious designs, featuring everything from plunging dresses and bikini sets to leather jackets and corseted tops.<\/p>\n

In past interviews, Rajab has said his Middle Eastern upbringing influenced his creative vision.<\/p>\n

“Growing up Middle Eastern, your family usually strays you from doing certain things, like listening to certain music or wearing particular clothing,” he told Paper magazine in 2022.<\/p>\n

Since marrying Ye in late 2022, Censori has become one of fashion’s most polarizing figures, regularly generating headlines with revealing outfits and avant-garde looks.<\/p>\n

Ye, meanwhile, has spent much of 2026 in the spotlight as he promotes his latest album Bully while navigating controversy surrounding his planned concerts and past antisemitic remarks.<\/p>\n
