On Sunday, February 2, the 47-year-old rapper walked the red carpet on the biggest night in music alongside Censori, 30.

The couple then pulled off what appeared to be a meticulously planned spectacle.

Censori initially arrived draped in a large fur coat, but as cameras flashed, she shed the garment to reveal a completely sheer dress — no bra, no underwear, and nothing left to the imagination.

The shocking display quickly went viral on social media – but despite their grand entrance, Ye and Censori didn’t stay for the ceremony. Instead, the rapper left in a car shortly after their red carpet moment. (Ye has since refuted rumors he was asked to leave the event.)

Outrage Over Censori’s Near-Nudity

While Ye is no stranger to controversy, Censori’s outfit took center stage, sparking outrage among viewers who felt her revealing look was inappropriate — especially with young fans tuning in.

A widely circulated photo even captured a child peeking out from behind a wall on the red carpet, seemingly watching the scene unfold.

As a result, many social media users called for the 30-year-old to be arrested for public indecency.

“I don’t understand how she doesn’t get arrested for public nudity???” one person wrote. Another questioned: “How is this not public indecency?”

A third user commented: “This just isn’t appropriate,” while another added: “I’m usually all for people dressing how they want, but this is just straight-up public indecency and shouldn’t be allowed.”

The backlash has also led many to question whether Censori’s outfit violated the Grammys’ dress code. While there have been no official statements regarding wardrobe policies for the 2025 event, past guidelines suggest her attire may have clashed with longstanding CBS standards.

Did Censori Break Grammys Wardrobe Rules?

A 2013 Deadline report revealed details from a CBS “Standard and Practice Wardrobe Advisory,” which laid out clear restrictions for attire worn at the ceremony.

According to the guidelines, all on-camera talent and attendees were expected to ensure that “buttocks and female breasts” were “adequately covered” and that sheer or see-through clothing that “could possibly expose female breast nipples” was prohibited.

Additionally, the advisory warned against “exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttock and buttock crack” and mandated that the “genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible ‘puffy’ bare skin exposure.” The document specifically called out thong costumes and excessive side-boob exposure as problematic.

With no recent updates on whether these rules are still enforced, it remains unclear if Censori’s outfit technically violated a dress code that hasn’t been publicly discussed in over a decade.

Could Censori Face Legal Trouble?

Beyond potential network violations, some have questioned whether Censori’s display could have breached public indecency laws in Los Angeles or California.

According to state law, indecent exposure occurs when someone “intentionally exposes their genitals or naked body in front of someone who could be offended or annoyed.”

Despite the outcry, the LAPD has reportedly informed TMZ that no action will be taken against Censori and Ye, with officials telling the outlet that the Grammys are a private event, and no one from the award show has contacted authorities to report any issues related to Censori’s outfit.

As a result, no arrests will be made on this occasion.

Meanwhile, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) explicitly states that obscene content is prohibited on broadcast, cable, and satellite television.

A page on the FCC website – last reviewed on January 13, 2021 – confirms that such material is not protected by the First Amendment — meaning CBS or any other network broadcasting the red carpet would have been unable to air Censori’s near-nudity without consequences.

So far, neither the Recording Academy nor CBS, nor representatives for West and Censori have publicly commented on the controversy.

Meanwhile, Ye has taken to social media to boast how Censori was “the most googled person on Earth” following the Grammys – sharing a number of Google Trends posts to back up his claim.

With speculation over why Ye and Censori pulled off the stunt, fans are currently speculating that the couple was attempting to recreate the imagery from West’s Vulture 1 album cover.

Over on X, one fan wrote: “Recreated the ‘Vultures 1’ cover in real time.”

“VULTURES 1 COVER VIBES,” added another, with a third agreeing, writing: “She recreated the cover of Vultures 1, holy sh**”.

The rumors led one person to even joke: “This might be Vultures 1 Deluxe cover”.
