What you need to know:

  • In response to the backlash, West celebrated his wife, sharing images of Censori in the controversial dress and promoting his Yeezy fashion line.

Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, have once again captured public attention with their appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

Censori's choice of attire—a nearly nude, sheer mesh dress dubbed the "invisible dress"—sparked widespread discussion and led to over 5 million online searches, making her the "most Googled person on Earth" following the event.

In response to the backlash, West took to Instagram to celebrate his wife, sharing images of Censori in the controversial dress and promoting his Yeezy fashion line.

The couple voluntarily left the Grammy ceremony after their red carpet appearance, despite West's nomination for Best Rap Song, which he ultimately lost to Kendrick Lamar.

This incident has ignited debates about artistic expression, cultural sensitivity, and the dynamics of West and Censori's relationship.

Some critics argue that Censori's provocative outfits may be influenced by West's history of controlling behaviour towards women, raising questions about her autonomy.

As the couple continues to blur the lines between fashion, performance art, and personal expression, public reactions remain deeply divided.
