American rapper Kanye West praised his wife – Bianca Censori – for being brave, talented and sexy when she dressed “like naked” on the Grammy red carpet.
On X on February 6, Kanye West, 48, wrote a long post about his wife – architect Bianca Censori, 30 – wearing a see-through outfit at the awards ceremony last weekend. Accordingly, he posted a photo of the two of them at the event with the caption: “My wife’s first red carpet appearance opened up a whole new world. I keep looking at this photo like I looked at her with admiration that night. Think about it, I’m really lucky to have a wife who is as smart, talented, brave and sexy as her. My wife put her first movie on hold to make a real-life work”.
The rapper also said that they adjusted the “invisible dress” six times. West posted several more skin-baring photos of Bianca Censori at the event.

In addition, Kanye West thanked Vogue magazine for writing about Bianca Censori in a positive light, recognizing her “true power”. In the article on February 4, writer Raven Smith argued that women can wear whatever they want. Therefore, the public should not assume that Censori was almost naked that day, so she could not control herself and did not like to show off her body. “Let’s not jump to conclusions just because we are uncomfortable seeing her like that,” he wrote.
The article and all attached photos have now been removed from Kanye West’s personal page.
On February 2, the appearance of Kanye West and his wife at the Grammys surprised many guests. On the red carpet, the rapper’s wife took off her fur coat, revealing her body under a transparent dress. This is the first time Bianca Censori attended the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences awards ceremony. After posing, the two left shortly after, sparking rumors that they were “kicked out of the event” because of her indecent attire. The event’s production director – Raj Kapoor – denied this to People on February 4.
Some news sites such as Hollywood Reporter, Us Weekly, and People ranked the West couple’s appearance among the worst moments of the awards ceremony. According to USA Today, Bianca Censori’s nude display in front of the camera at a major event caused a strong public reaction. Many criticized her inappropriate behavior and lowered her self-worth. On the show The View on February 4, media expert Alyssa Farah Griffin said she no longer wanted to see Kanye West on the red carpet, expressing concern for Censori. “I hope his partner is okay, because this whole thing makes most women feel uncomfortable watching it,” she said. “The Censori dress shifts attention away from Kanye West’s past of hateful statements and behavior and onto his wife’s body,” Leora Tanenbaum, author of Sexy Selfie Nation: Standing Up for Yourself in Today’s Toxic, Sexist Culture, told USA Today. “It only serves his own interests to distract from West’s actions and portray him as a powerful man with a sexy wife.”
Kanye West was born in 1977 in Atlanta, USA. He began his music career in 1996 and went on to become one of the most successful artists of the 21st century, selling more than 140 million records.

Kanye West’s appearance at the 2025 Grammys marks his first return to the awards ceremony in 10 years. Throughout his career, he has received 24 trophies out of 76 nominations. With this achievement, West is among the top hip hop artists with the most wins in the history of the awards ceremony, along with Jay-Z – Beyoncé’s husband. This year, he was nominated for Best Rap Song for the song Carnival featuring Ty Dolla $ign, from the album Vultures 1.
Architect Bianca Censori was born in 1995 in Melbourne (Australia), and has been in charge of architectural design for Kanye West’s Yeezy shoe brand since November 2020. In 2017, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in this field from the University of Melbourne. According to Instyle, since falling in love and marrying the American rapper, Bianca Censori has dressed boldly, always attracting the attention of the audience every time she appears. She often wears revealing outfits that do not cover her body or are tight-fitting with thin materials.
