Meanwhile, Kanye West and Bianca Censori, were escorted out of the 2025 Grammys Sunday by police after Bianca shocked many with her naked red carpet stunt.
The designer, 30, who has previously shocked with risqué displays , bared it all in a completely see-through nude mesh dress, worn without underwear much to the shock of social media and onlookers.
Bianca was unabashed, as she headed to the carpet clad in a furry coat, before theatrically dropping the garment and flashing her bare derriere to photographers.
She turned around to show off her topless chest and lack of underwear while West – nominated in the Best Rap Song category – leered at her nude body during the incident of indecent exposure. The pair were ordered out and escorted by police after reportedly turning up uninvited.
