Yahoo Lifestyle Kanye West and Bianca Censori 'Were Credentialed to Walk the Carpet' at 2025 Grammys: Sources (Exclusive)
Kanye West and Bianca Censori were welcomed at the 2025 Grammy Awards, multiple sources exclusively tell Parade.
The rapper showed up with his wife, who made a bold statement on the red carpet Sunday, Feb. 2, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles by stripping down to a completely sheer outfit with absolutely nothing underneath.
Though a since-deleted Instagram report by Entertainment Tonight said they were escorted out after being uninvited, a source exclusively tells Parade that the two were “credentialed to walk the carpet.”
“Kanye and Bianca just got back from Europe,” the source says, surmising that the 47-year-old rapper’s latest outing was all part of a publicity stunt.
Multiple sources confirm to Parade that West and his 30-year-old wife’s red-carpet appearance was planned, and they were slated to leave after their photo-op.
Parade has attempted to reach representation for West but did not immediately hear back.
Following their shocking red-carpet appearance, West (who changed his name to Ye) and Censori were seemingly nowhere to be seen inside the awards show at music’s biggest night.
The Australian model made quite the entrance at the award show ceremony when she showed up on the red carpet in a completely sheer outfit with absolutely nothing underneath.
Even though she started the night with a furry black oversized coat, Censori stripped down in the middle of the red carpet, revealing the sheer mini dress she had on underneath.
West's wife certainly wasn't shy when it came to posing for the cameras, as she stood confidently while turning around to allow photographers to capture shots from both the front and the back.

As for West, the "Runaways" rapper stuck to his usual attire, sporting an all-black look consisting of an oversized tee and plain black pants. With already 24 Grammys under his belt, West is also among the nominees at this year's show, receiving a nod for Best Rap Song for his track “Carnival."
The Australian native is an architect, designer and model; however, she is best known for being Ye’s wife. They met when Censori became an architectural designer at the rapper's company, Yeezy, in 2020. The duo quietly wed in December 2022.
She is also known for her controversial, barely-there fashion choices, like her decision to go basically nude on the red carpet at the 67th annual Grammy Awards, which are airing live on CBS at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+ with Showtime.
