Kanye West’s Australian wife Bianca Censori has shocked the star-studded Grammy Awards by hitting the red carpet in a sheer outfit that left nothing to the imagination.
Known for her raunchy looks, the Melbourne-born Censori arrived at the ceremony in a nude dress.
The “dress” was virtually non-existent, fully exposing Censori’s naked body in a wild display even by her risque standards.
A stony-faced West, dressed all in black with sunglasses on, stood emotionless as Censori removed her coat to reveal her naked form.
Rumours are circulating that both West and Censori have since been escorted out of the star-studded event.
An insider told Page Six that cops ushered the pair out after “the crazy outfit moment they pulled on the carpet,” which we’re told “was an attempt to replicate the album cover of ‘Vultures.‘”
Since the couple’s appearance, West has gone on a posting rampage on X, sharing at least four pictures with his wife, including one of them kissing.
Hours before the Grammys red carpet, West caused a stir by unfollowing everyone on Instagram, including Censori, except for Taylor Swift.
West, who previously said he wanted his girlfriend to be the “best undressed” person on the planet, appeared to loom over Censori on the red carpet, as she removed her coat.
AUSSIE DV EXPERT WEIGHS IN ON WEST, CENSORI
This latest spectacle will further fuel his critics who claim his behaviour is a form of coercive control, even though coercive dressing is normally about modesty, with a person seeking to cover up their partner’s body, rather than exposing it.
Full Stop Australia CEO, Karen Bevan, said coercive control is a pattern of abusive behaviours where one person creates a dynamic of power and control over another.
“Coercive behaviours might seem innocuous by themselves but as a pattern of abuse they can isolate, scare or control a person,” she said.
“Monitoring or controlling where you go, who you see and what you wear may be some of the signs of coercive control.”
Dr Louise Mahler, an expert in communication and body language, said Censori’s lack of clothing and demeanour were truly “disturbing”.
“There is something wrong here,” she said. “This is clearly a magnificent female body but look at what is going on. Turning up at a red carpet with no clothes on is a highly provocative act that one would imagine takes nerves and a sense of humour.
“However, looking at Bianca’s face, this is not a woman enjoying herself. Her eyes are wide and even appear frightened.
“Her lips are pursed but her face is dropped with no humour lines or even expression. As she shows us her back, her head is slightly dropped reminding me of someone who may be being displayed as property. She is ‘doing the business’ with no glow of excitement in the event.”
Dr Mahler noted West’s “army sergeant” demeanour as he watched his wife on the Grammys red carpet.
“Whatever is going on here it is certainly provocative, definitely not funny and despite the sheer beauty of Bianca’s body, somewhat disturbing,” she said.
She said the image of Censori facing towards West, with her back to the cameras, was “disturbing.”
“If their intention was to be provocative, they have achieved their goal, but not in the way they had intended as all this disturbing ‘show’ will do is raise concern for Bianca Censori and raise serious questions over the control that Kanye West holds over her,” she said.
Dr Elizabeth Dalgarno, an expert at SHERA Domestic Abuse Research Group, told the Evening Standard in an article about West and Censori two weeks ago that, “research indicates that coercive controllers, specifically abusive men, seek to control the presentation of femininity that the women they victimise are allowed.
“They do this by controlling their hair style, use of make-up, clothing and other behaviours. With coercive control, the abuser is attempting to control and punish the victim into a permanent state of subjugation.”
In the same article West supporter, PR expert Quincy Dash, said like the rapper’s previous partners, including Kim Kardashian, he has turned Censori into his muse.
He defended West saying he was a “giving guy”.
“Quite frankly, he could get anyone to wear those clothes, but he picks his own girlfriends because he wants them to be the star of the moment.”
SWIFT’S NOD TO TRAVIS; BEYONCE MAKES HISTORY
Music’s biggest names gathered in Los Angeles for the 67th Grammy Awards.
The ceremony kicked off at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles at 11am (AEDT), hosted by comedian Trevor Noah.
Beyonce, who already is the most-awarded artist in Grammy history, took home the Album of the Year crown for “Cowboy Carter.”
Earlier in the evening, the 43-year-old sat stunned in the audience for a moment after Taylor Swift announced that the superstar had won best country album for “Cowboy Carter.”
She thanked her family as cameras cut to her husband Jay-Z and Blue Ivy Carter standing and beaming in the audience. Later on, Beyonce
“I really was not expecting this … I sometimes think genre is a code word to keep us in our place,” she said, referring to the controversy to make an album in what is usually a white genre.
She’d already won Best Country Duo / Group Performance in the pre-televised ceremony, making her the first Black woman to win a country Grammy since the Pointer Sisters 50 years ago.
Beyonce, who to the delight of fans announced her Cowboy Carter tour ahead of the ceremony, has never won the coveted Album of the Year award.
This year Beyonce had 11 nominations — including Album of the year for Cowboy Carter, Record of the year, Song of the year, Best pop solo performance, Best country song and Best country album.
This is her first time being nominated in the country albums. She’s also now the most nominated artist of all time, surpassing husband Jay-Z.

Music superstar Swift, who is up for multiple awards, was a vision in red as she put on a leggy display in a stunning dress.
Beneath her dress, a beaded garter chain peeked out, featuring a small ‘T’— taken as a reference to her beau, Travis Kelce.
She was nominated for six awards following the release of her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department: Album of the year and Best pop vocal album for the LP, as well as Record of the year, Song of the year, and Best music video for Fortnight, featuring Post Malone.
LATINA ARTIST BACKS TRUMP’S DEPORTATIONS
Singer Joy Villa defended the controversial immigration policies implemented by President Donald Trump.
“I’m a Latina. My family came from this country to this country legally. And I love to see rapists, human traffickers deported. I don’t want to see them here,” Villa said.
“As an artist and a musician, I want to be able to walk at night and not think that I’m going to get killed by an illegal alien.”
HOLY MOLY!!! Joy Villa just stunned everyone at the Grammy's talking about President Trump's deportations. Selena Gomez should cover her ears.

Villa, who was last photographed on the Grammys red carpet at the 2020 ceremony, made headlines during Trump’s first term for her outfits that showcased her support for the president and his policies at events including the Grammys.
WORST DRESSED ON RED CARPET
Nepo babies Jaden and Willow Smith also caused a stir, with Louis Vuitton-clad Jaden arriving with a vampire castle on his head in one of the more bizarre red carpet appearances in recent times.
Willow wore a black Dior blazer that did little to hide her bra and briefs, which were embellished with crystals.
Meanwhile, Chappell Roan opted for a 2003 Jean Paul Gaultier dress from the spring/summer couture collection complete with the designs original colourful feather-like hat, as she made a debut at music’s biggest night.
And Lady Gaga — who is known for her wild Grammy outfits in the past — looked like a heroine straight out of a Victorian Gothic novel.
She wore a black ball gown by Vivienne Westwood, complete with a leather bodice featuring a high neck and puffy sleeves. The dress then extended down into an asymmetrical draped skirt that pooled onto the floor beneath her.
