Kanye West and Bianca Censori made a shocking entrance at the 2025 Grammys on February 2, and most of us are still grappling with trying to figure out why Censori agreed to walk the red carpet wearing nothing but a sheer stocking over her naked body.
So far, neither West nor Censori have issued a statement addressing the stunt, which was particularly disturbing given West was fully clothed beside her wearing dark sunglasses, creating a stark—and highly uncomfortable—contrast between man and wife.
After the incident, it was reported that West and Censori left the Crypto.com arena, where the Grammys were held, without going inside. But were they kicked out, as many speculated? Or did they willingly leave? What’s really going on with their relationship?
Here’s everything we know for sure about Kanye West, Bianca Censori, and their uncomfortable walk on the 2025 Grammys red carpet.
Were Kanye West and Bianca Censori kicked out of the 2025 Grammy Awards?
According to multiple reports, Kanye West and Bianca Censori were not booted out of the Grammys as was initially speculated. People confirms that West, who was nominated for best rap song for “Carnival” on his album Vultures 1, and Censori made the decision to leave immediately after walking the carpet. People also reports that West posted—then deleted—a photo of the couple’s evening which he captioned, “love story.”
Was the nudity a reference?
A source told Page Six that the couple was recreating West’s Vultures 1 album art on the red carpet. On the cover of the album, which was released in February of 2024, West wears a hockey mask while Censori stands with her back to the camera wearing a thong and thigh-high black stockings. The couple did recreate this pose on the red carpet, however, it was just one of several different angles that Censori offered to photographers.
What’s the story with Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s relationship?
There aren’t a lot of concrete details about Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s relationship dynamics. Though Censori reportedly returned to social media just before the Grammys after deactivating her account last October, she offers little insight into their partnership.
Since the pair became a couple, countless people online have expressed concern for the 30-year-old former Yeezy employee regarding the ways in which she appears to be publicly humiliated by West. Even before her appearance at the 2025 Grammys, Censori is regularly out and about with the rapper in various forms of public nudity, and was allegedly investigated by Italian authorities for public indecency in 2023.
West and Censori wed in 2022, two years after she began working for Yeezy, and one year after Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from West.
Before he began dating Censori, West was briefly linked to actor Julia Fox. In Fox’s 2023 memoir, Down the Drain, she recalls her relationship with “The Artist,” who is largely believed to be a pseudonym for West. She writes that The Artist dictated her wardrobe, and that she wasn’t allowed to have an opinion or assert agency regarding her outfit choices. Kim Kardashian made similar comments during her own relationship with West, famously revealing on Keeping Up With the Kardashians that he and a stylist completely overhauled her wardrobe when they got together.
Fox also says that The Artist offered to pay for her to get a boob job.
Who is Bianca Censori?
Per what appears to be her LinkedIn account, Bianca Censori is the head of architecture at West’s fashion brand Yeezy, a position she has held since 2020. The same profile shows that she has both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in architecture from the University of Melbourne.
In a since-deleted HypeBeast interview from 2021, Censori, who is Australian, opened up about her childhood in Melbourne, saying she had always been drawn to creative projects.
