The 2025 Grammy Awards.
Music’s biggest night, right?
Well, this year it felt more like a head-turning fashion spectacle, thanks to one couple: Kanye West, now known as Ye, and his wife, Bianca Censori.
Their appearance, or rather, Bianca’s outfit, has set the internet ablaze.
Was it a bold statement, a cry for attention, or something else entirely?
Let’s dive in, shall we?
The Naked Dress: A 2024 Trend Reimagined
Let’s be honest, the “naked dress” trend isn’t exactly new.
It was arguably *the* biggest thing in 2024.
From Kim Kardashian to Charlize Theron, everyone was rocking sheer fabrics and strategic cutouts.
But Bianca Censori?
She took it to another level.
Remember last year’s Vanity Fair Oscar party?
Nudity felt both angelic and risqué.
This year, Bianca’s Grammys look was just…wow.
Originally sporting a long feather coat, Bianca arrived alongside Ye.
But, in a move that surprised absolutely no one paying attention, the coat came off.
Underneath?
A barely-there, sleeveless mini-dress made of transparent mesh.
Nothing, and I mean *nothing*, was left to the imagination.
Ever wondered why this trend has such staying power?
It’s all about the power of suggestion, folks.
Naked dresses, you see, come in all shapes, sizes, and levels of exposure.
Sometimes, they aren’t revealing anything at all!
Think back to the late 90s, when Jean-Paul Gaultier made waves with his trompe-l’oeil patterns.
Images of the bare human form printed onto blazers and dresses?
Genius.
That trend has been revived by designers like Glenn Martens, whose acid-colored, heatmap-style pieces have been seen on Bella Hadid and A$AP Rocky.
Even Mae West in 1936’s “Go West, Young Man” used expertly placed embroidery to create the illusion of bare skin.
Bianca’s Bold Move: Whisper or Shout?
So, what is the natural progression of a culture obsessed with the suggestion of disrobing?
For someone like Bianca, who’s been seen practically naked under a see-through raincoat or sporting little more than a bra and sheer tights, the leap from naked dress to, well, plain naked, might seem small.
I mean, she’s clearly not shy!
Here’s Kanye West and Bianca Censori on the red carpet at the 2025 Grammys.
But did they stay?
Ye’s Unreadable Expression and the Alleged Escort
And then there’s Ye.
On the Grammys red carpet, he stood beside Bianca in a black t-shirt and pants, expressionless behind a pair of sunglasses.
Reports swirled that the couple were escorted out of the awards show, but a source told CNN that wasn’t true.
“He was not escorted out,” they said.
“He’s a nominee.
He walked the carpet and got in his car and left.” Did he approve of the dress?
Was he even paying attention?
The world may never know.
Legal Troubles and Social Media Frenzy
Of course, social media went wild.
Users questioned Ye’s role in Bianca’s wardrobe choices.
Others wondered if Bianca had violated California’s indecent exposure laws.
(For the record, the Los Angeles Police Department told CNN that it hadn’t been made aware of any incident at the Grammys.) But here’s the interesting part: while Bianca has made a notable moment in the history of the naked dress trend, she’s transformed what is typically a suggestive whisper into a deafening shout.
My Own Brush with Kanye: A Missed Connection?
But wait, there’s more!
Let me tell you a little story.
September 7, 2008 – the night Kanye West, aka The One That Got Away, *almost* asked me out.
Yes, *me*!
And a night that could have changed the course of show business history forever, but for a cruel twist of fate.
To recap: it was the MTV VMAs, and I was there as an intrepid gossip columnist.
Before that night, I had zero interest in Kanye West.
Wouldn’t have recognized him if he’d bowled me over singing “Gold Digger.” After the awards (Katy Perry, Pink, Take That… champagne…), a small man kept trying to make eye contact at the afterparty.
Wearing a borrowed Dolce & Gabbana dress, I smiled politely back at the sweet man clutching a glass of whiskey in VIP.
Minutes later, a giant security guard tapped me on the shoulder and said my presence was requested in the VIP area.
I was guided behind the velvet rope and plonked in front of a man I *still* failed to recognize as Kanye.
“Hey, what’s your name?” he asked, laconically.
Replying, I asked him his.
He looked at me oddly, and said nothing.
“Cat got your tongue?” I continued, inexplicably.
“Just tell me your name, you’re being weird.” “You’re funny,” he replied, not smiling.
By now parched, I plucked his glass from his hand, downed the contents in one, and handed him back an empty crystal tumbler.
He looked stunned.
“So, where’s Kanye?” I asked, ever the crack reporter.
“So, where’s Kanye?” he echoed, rapidly losing patience with the blonde before him.
Two flunkies came over asking if he needed anything.
Realization dawned, excruciatingly, as he had someone fetch me my own drink.
We made painful small talk for a few minutes before *ACTUAL* KANYE asked what my after-after-party plans were.
Half an hour later, a bodyguard took my phone and asked me to recite my number.
I did so excitedly.
I was 26.
I wasn’t thinking marriage or babies.
Or even a snog.
Just a great dinner party story one day.
And then…my Nokia battery died.
For the next two hours, I paced the venue, pleading for a phone charger (this was 2008, remember!).
I was convinced the love of my next 36 hours was frantically messaging and calling.
Getting back to my hotel room at 4 am, and plugging the stupid thing back in, I waited with bated breath.
Nada.
Clearly, Mr.
West had moved on.
Which is where my story ends.
His, though, continues.
Lucky escape?
Maybe.
But I feel for his wife, the ironically named Bianca, a woman who must be censored before she can appear in a family newspaper.
Sunday night’s debacle was painful to watch.
No one knows what goes on behind closed doors, but clearly, Ye is a troubled man.
I also feel especially sorry for his two daughters with Kim, a woman who made her name with a sex tape.
And now they have Bianca as a role model.
Hmmm…
With his own fashion brand, Kanye is a self-styled fashion guru.
So why wasn’t he in five-inch stilettos with his winkle hanging out?
Because men like Ye are all about control – and I pity anyone who gets in their way.
Here’s a deeper dive into whether Kanye and Bianca were actually kicked out of the 2025 Grammys after their shocking red carpet look!
Other Celeb News: Cher’s New Beau and Kate’s Style Shift
Speaking of questionable choices, Cher’s got a new babe, literally!
She’s found the love of her life at the grand old age of 78.
Her whippersnapper, a chap not long out of short trousers, is a music exec called Alexander Edwards.
He is 38 years old.
Presumably, then my very own soulmate is busy reciting Humpty Dumpty in a nappy as I type…
And then there’s Kate Middleton.
She’s played an absolute blinder!
The Princess of Wales’s diktat that flunkies no longer tell the media what (or *who*, as posh people say) she’s wearing is long overdue.
By making people focus on her work, not her £4.99 Accessorize earrings or £3,000 Alexander McQueen dress, she’s single-handedly helping drag the monarchy (kicking and screaming) out of the 20th century.
The breathless obsession for every sartorial spit and cough of Kate’s outfits is as dull as it is weird.
Sure, she’s boosted sales of lesser-known Brit designers, but that’s what Google’s for.
From memory, I couldn’t tell you the make of a single suit Prince William has worn.
I am, though, aware of his great homeless initiative, his campaign work, and the environmental Earthshot Prize.
Evidently, Kate, who has so bravely and publicly fought cancer, has had a wake-up call: Life is short.
Let her get to work in marmalade-stained pyjamas if she so wishes.
It really doesn’t matter.
But her legacy does.
Gen Z’s Hardline Stance and Political Mishaps
And here’s something interesting…
Gen Z does it right!
It’s not often I agree with Piers Morgan, but in this instance, they’re bang on.
A poll of 18 to 27-year-olds showed that more than two-thirds thought sex offenders should be castrated.
For a generation famously soft when it comes to most day-to-day practices (WFH, teetotalism, work-life balance, journalling, raw-dogging), they have a decidedly hardline view when it comes to morality.
Which is no bad thing.
More coverage on Kanye and Bianca’s controversy and whether they were kicked out of the 2025 Grammys!
Ah, what fresh bullst is this, Daily Telegraph?
The snooty broadsheet ran an article declaring, and I quote: “If a woman wants to achieve the ultimate power status, she needs to be married.
Frankly, if you want to be taken seriously you need to be a ‘Mrs’ rather than a ‘Ms.'” Right.
However, if one was to tie the knot…
oh to be Mrs.
Crapo!
The unfortunately named US Senator, Mike Crapo, was addressing the hearing last week to consider the appointment of controversial Xavier Becerra as Secretary of Health.
And finally, a jabs army!
How reassuring.
Around 500 prescriptions for fat jabs are being dished out for frontline troops.
Our wobbling warriors, if you will.
The drugs have been signed off at the same time as exercises are being scaled back and equipment purchases cancelled to save money.
Call me old-fashioned, but I’d like to think of my soldiers racing over walls and sprinting up enemy hills.
Not squishing lumps of flesh between their portly digits and jabbing their tummies of a morning.
Meghan McCain’s Strong Words: Victim or Statement?
Speaking of opinions, Meghan McCain, never one to mince words, blasted Ye as a “repugnant, vile piece of garbage,” adding that his wife Bianca Censori “looks like a victim” at the Grammys.
McCain posted (and later deleted) an X post comparing Censori to a hostage.
Was this a fair assessment?
McCain’s comments came amid Censori’s headline-making attire at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where she hit the red carpet alongside Ye before dropping a large fur coat to reveal a sheer dress that exposed most of her body.
Ye, on the other hand, wore a black shirt, pants, and sunglasses.
Their relationship has been the subject of intense media scrutiny, after a series of odd public appearances.
The pair went public in 2022, after Ye separated from Kim Kardashian.
Ye also courted controversy that year after voicing admiration for Hitler as well.
Final Thoughts: Art, Exploitation, or Just Plain Weird?
So, where does this leave us?
Was Bianca’s Grammys outfit a daring fashion statement?
A cry for help?
Or simply another bizarre chapter in the ongoing saga of Kanye West?
I’m not entirely sure.
But one thing’s for certain: it got everyone talking.
And in the world of celebrity, is there anything more valuable than attention?
What do *you* think?
Was Bianca’s look empowering or exploitative?
