Up to the eye of the beholder.
One of the 2025 Grammys’ executive producers has weighed in on the debate over Bianca Censori’s near-nude look on the red carpet ahead of Sunday’s ceremony.
Speaking specifically to questions about whether Kanye West’s model and architect wife, 30, violated any dress code rules the Grammys may have for guests, EP and showrunner Raj Kapoor said that guidelines for guests are less stringent than those for performers.
Kapoor told People on Tuesday that the dress code for Grammys guests is “artistic black-tie,” adding, “but in the music industry, I guess that’s up for interpretation.”
Performers who take the Grammys stage face much more stringent parameters.
“Obviously there is a dress code for anybody actually performing on the show that we have to adhere to standards and practices,” Kapoor said. “But as far as people attending and nominees attending, that would be something the [Recording] Academy would have to answer.”
Neither Grammy producers nor the Los Angeles Police Department reportedly received any complaints over Censori’s appearance, meaning there will likely be no consequence for the nude stunt.
Censori shocked the world when she slowly removed her oversized, black fur coat to reveal herself wearing nothing but a sheer, nude-colored mini-dress.
West’s wife was not wearing a bra or underwear — and made sure photographers snapped her from the front and the back.
A source told Page Six on Monday that the nude stunt “was an attempt to replicate” West’s 2024 album cover of ‘Vultures.’
Since marrying in 2022, many have accused the 24-time Grammy winner of controlling Censori’s fashion choices — or lack thereof — including her 2025 Grammys look.
Experts also weighed in on her award show wardrobe.
A top lip reader claimed West told Censori to “make a scene” before she revealed her racy outfit. Meanwhile, a body language expert alleged she showed “fear” on the red carpet, claiming her move to expose herself was the “ultimate attention-seeking statement.”
West responded to the backlash on social media, gloating about all the attention his wife’s wardrobe garnished.
“We beat the Grammies [sic],” he wrote on his Instagram, later including, “For clarity, February 4th 2025 my wife is the most Googled person on the planet called Earth.”
West and Censori married in a secret ceremony in 2022. However, it didn’t appear that their nuptials were technically legal at first because they did not file a marriage certificate right away, according to TMZ.
Before she was Mrs. Kanye West, Censori worked at the musician’s brand Yeezy, leading the design division.
It’s believed that’s where they met after she joined his team in November 2020.
Censori is West’s second wife following his marriage to Kim Kardashian.
The “Good Life” rapper and Kardashian settled their divorce in November 2022 after almost seven years of marriage. They share four children: North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago,7, and Psalm, 5.
