Kanye Westand Bianca Censori’s appearance at the 2025Grammyshas sparked questions about the ceremony’s dress code.
On Feb. 2, the rapper, 47, attended his first Grammys red carpet in 10 years alongside his wife, 30. The shocking moment quickly made headlines when Censori, who arrived in a large fur coat,undressed on the spotandposed for the camerasin a completely sheer dress without a bra or underwear underneath.
Censori’s outfit unveiling appeared to be part of the couple’s plan to recreate the album cover of West’s recordVulture 1, which displays a woman wearing a thong and thigh-high boots with her back to the camera.

The statement advises all on-camera talent, as well as on-camera audience members, adhere to “network policy concerning wardrobe” either exposing or almost exposing certain body parts.

It requires “buttocks and female breasts” be “adequately covered,” sheer or see-through clothing that “could possibly expose female breast nipples” be avoided in addition to “exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttock and buttock crack.” The statement also advises that the “genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible ‘puffy’ bare skin exposure.”
Among the garments and body parts deemed “problematic” are thong costumes and “bare sides or under curvature of the breasts.”

On West and Censori’s appearance, a source tellsDaily Mailthat “the organizers were informed about her outfit minutes after she got on the red carpet and sent someone to tell his team that they had to go because they could have been hit with massive issues if they pulled a stunt like this on air.”
Censori may also have been in violation of Los Angeles or California’s public indecency laws. In California,indecent exposureis considered an issue when someone “intentionally exposes their genitals or naked body in front of someone who could be offended or annoyed.” (No charges have been filed.)
Neither the Recording Academy (host of the Grammys), CBS nor representatives for West and Censori have addressed the controversy. PEOPLE reached out to a representative for the Grammys in regard to a current dress code but has not heard back.
