Bianca Censori’s daring outfit at the 2025 Grammys reignites conversations around dress codes and public decency laws but avoids legal troubles.
February 4, 2025: Music icon Kanye West’s wife, Bianca Censori, turned heads at the 2025 Grammy Awards with her audacious red carpet ensemble, sparking debates about dress code ethics and public decency laws. Kanye, making his Grammy comeback after a decade, was accompanied by the 30-year-old Censori, who initially donned a large fur coat. However, she dramatically removed the coat, revealing a completely sheer dress, leaving little to the imagination.

The daring outfit appeared to be a nod to West’s latest album Vulture 1, whose artwork features a provocative image of a woman in revealing attire. While the look captivated onlookers, it also reignited concerns over the appropriateness of such fashion choices at prestigious events like the Grammys, especially given their wide-ranging audience.

Dress Code Controversy
A report from People magazine highlighted that Censori’s outfit might have breached CBS’s Standard and Practice Wardrobe Advisory, which has strict guidelines for on-camera appearances. Established in 2013, these rules mandate that “buttocks and female breasts” must be “adequately covered,” and sheer garments exposing nipples are prohibited. The advisory also outlines that exposed under-curves of the breasts, buttock cleavage, and excessive skin in the genital area are unacceptable for broadcast.

Despite these stipulations, it remains unclear if the advisory is still actively enforced. CBS has not commented on whether Censori’s attire violated current policies, though her outfit has undoubtedly sparked conversations about where to draw the line on red carpet fashion.
Public Indecency Speculation
Some raised questions about whether Censori’s dress could be classified as indecent exposure under California law. The state defines indecent exposure as the intentional display of one’s genitals in public with the intent to offend or arouse. However, legal experts have stated that while her attire was provocative, it likely does not meet the legal definition of indecent exposure.
“No formal complaints were filed at the Crypto.com Arena on the night of the event,” sources from the Los Angeles Police Department informed Page Six. Additionally, as the Grammys is a private event with its own rules, public indecency laws would not strictly apply.
Legal and Ethical Implications
LA-based lawyer Andrea Oguntula explained, “For a charge of indecent exposure, there must be clear evidence of willful intent to offend or arouse sexually. It’s unlikely Censori will face any legal consequences for her attire.”
Both the Recording Academy and AEG Worldwide had security in place during the event, ensuring it remained under controlled circumstances. While Bianca’s bold fashion choice has reignited debates about red carpet boundaries, no legal action will follow.
As the Grammys continue to evolve, this incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing tension between personal expression and public decorum.
