Kanye West made a surprise appearance at the 67th Grammy Awards on Sunday, but it was his wife, Bianca Censori, who stole the show.
The couple arrived at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, where Censori shocked onlookers by revealing an outfit that left little to the imagination. Censori, who initially walked the red carpet in a fur coat, removed the outer layer to unveil a sheer, see-through slip that made her appear completely nude.
The bold fashion choice quickly went viral, with social media erupting in debates over the look. West, in contrast, dressed in an all-black ensemble with sunglasses, keeping a low profile as his wife became the center of attention.
The look quickly became a trending topic, dominating discussions on platforms like X and Instagram.

Why It Matters
While Censori’s Grammys outfit made headlines, this is not the first time her wardrobe choices have sparked conversation.
The Yeezy architect, who married West in a private ceremony in January 2023, has become known for her daring and often unconventional outfits.
From public appearances in sheer bodysuits to avant-garde fashion statements, she has repeatedly been at the center of discussions about celebrity style.
Following their red carpet moment, neither West nor Censori were seen inside the venue. Speculation spread online that the couple had been kicked out of the event, or that they had not been formally invited in the first place.
However, Variety reported that West “walked the carpet, got in his car, and left” and was never asked to leave.
The Recording Academy, the organization behind the Grammy Awards, which is composed of musicians, producers and other industry professionals, hasn’t made any comment on the issue.
Kanye West’s Past Controversies
West, who has been largely absent from major industry events since 2022 due in part to his controversial public statements, was at the Grammys as a nominee.
The star faced significant backlash in December 2022 after making antisemitic remarks during an appearance on Alex Jones‘ show, which led to widespread criticism.
His song “Carnival,” a collaboration with Ty Dolla Sign, Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, was nominated for Best Rap Song. The track, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, is part of his collaborative album “Vultures 1” with Ty Dolla Sign.
West and Censori have yet to comment on their brief Grammys appearance, but their red carpet moment has once again ensured that they remain at the center of conversation.
