Kanye West’s wife, Bianca Censori, was the talk of the 2025 Grammy Awards on February 2, despite not even making it to the actual ceremony—and for good reason.
Ahead of the telecast on Sunday night, Censori walked the red carpet for the event and wore the most daring outfit—she first appeared in an oversized coat that draped heavily over her frame and later removed it to reveal an incredibly sheer dress that left her breasts, butt and genitalia completely exposed.

Censori kept the rest of her skin-bearing look look simple, paring the outfit with clear flip-flops, a slicked-back bun, minimalist makeup, and her wedding ring. (She later wore another very nude look—a sheer black thong bodysuit—at a Grammys after party).
Social media users couldn’t help but wonder if Censori’s daring look broke dress code, and thanks to a 2013 Deadline report, we now have a clue. The 2013 Deadline report revealed inside information about the dress code required in order to attend the Grammys that year, and as expected, rules were strict.

“Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic,” an email from CBS read. “Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible “puffy” bare skin exposure.” In short, Censori’s 2025 Grammys red carpet look broke some of the ceremony’s most critical rules.
Other rules instructed attendees to “avoid commercial identification of actual brand name products on T-shirts. Foreign language on wardrobe will need to be cleared. OBSCENITY OR PARTIALLY SEEN OBSCENITY ON WARDROBE IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR BROADCAST. This as well, pertains to audience members that appear on camera. Finally, The Network requests that any organized cause visibly spelled out on talent’s wardrobe be avoided. This would include lapel pins or any other form of accessory.”

While there were no details regarding repercussions for dress code violations, Censori and West were gone before they had a chance to find out—though there are conflicting reports on whether they were kicked out, or left on their own accord.
After the couple’s red carpet appearance, Entertainment Tonight reported that West and Censori were “uninvited” from the Grammys and asked to leave shortly after their arrival. “ET has learned that the rapper, his wife, and an entourage of about five people showed up to the Grammys uninvited,” the outlet reported. “Kanye walked the red carpet with Bianca, who appeared to be fully naked under her fur coat. ET was told that the couple was then escorted out of the awards show.”
PEOPLE, however, claimed that West and Censori left the red carpet by choice but instead chose to depart after walking the red carpet.
