It’s the biggest night of the year in the music industry and before the 67th Grammys ceremony kicks off at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, viewers have been treated to some outrageous looks by some of the world’s most famous faces on the red carpet.
One such celeb that has got people talking is Bianca Censori – and it’s fair to say the rapper’s wife isn’t exactly shy when it comes to showing off her looks.
The Australian model, who also works on Ye’s clothing and apparel brand, Yeezy, has hit headlines several times for her own outfit choices over the years, which sometimes leave very little to the imagination.

Now, she’s turning heads once again as she has arrived arm-in-arm with her husband, Kanye West, to the red carpet.
While Bianca first appeared wearing a fluffy black jacket, the 30-year-old soon discarded it to reveal an opaque garment underneath – and apparently didn’t opt for underwear, either.
The sheer covering is barely visible, making her appear completely naked.
Viewers have since raced to Twitter to slam her unusual outfit choice, with many writing that they feel the ‘outfit’ amounts to ‘public indecency’.
“Bianca Censori is always basically naked and yet still manages to be even more naked each time,” one viewer wrote. “I hope the ‘it’s fashion’, ‘its self-expression’ people shut the f**k up now. How is this not indecent exposure or something?”
“It’s gotten officially outta hand,” penned another.

However, some have defended Bianca’s look as an art statement, though clearly not as obvious as Jaden Smith’s ‘castle hat’.
A fan said: “I love Bianca Censori’s look and if we weren’t a society so concerned with policing women we could get into how bad she served!! This is fashion this is art truly.
“There isn’t an era of art you can reference where women aren’t depicted naked. Like why is a woman’s body so offensive?,” they added.
Meanwhile, Kanye, 47, sported an all-black look, with black sunglasses and a black t-shirt.
Dozens of others have asked why organizers of the ceremony haven’t booted the pair out for making viewers ‘uncomfortable’.
Their outrageous arrival comes as the rapper, who legally changed his name to Ye, has been nominated for the best rap song for ‘Carnival’, a track taken from his collab album, ‘Vultures 1’, with Ty Dolla $ign.

Most shocking moments in Grammys history
From dazzling performances and emotional tributes to scandalous statements, let’s take a look back at some of the most jaw-dropping moments from the awards show.

It’s hard enough playing one piano in front of a huge audience, let alone two, but ‘Girl on Fire’ singer Alicia Keys blew fans away back in 2019 when she took to the stage for an iconic dual-piano performance.
The singer paid homage to jazz star Hazel Scott with her impressive display as she performed a medley of songs she ‘wished she’d wrote’.
“I always wanted to play two pianos,” she simply said at the time. And that she did. Fair play!
Lady Gaga hatching from an egg

Back in 2011 Lady Gaga was still well into her era of wacky red carpet attire and theatrical performances, but she really pushed the boat out when she turned up to the awards ceremony in a literal egg.
To top it off, she emerged sporting a yolk-coloured bra and matching yellow skirt.
Annie Lennox turns up in drag

Back in 1984, Grammys staff were scrambling around in a state of sheer panic looking for Eurythmics star Annie Lennox who was set to perform the group’s hit ‘Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)’.
Turns out however, she was simply in drag, and staff had no clue it was her. And neither did the audience, who were suitably confused when she stepped onto the stage to perform the iconic track.
“People were unaware that it was me, so it was almost like being a fly on the wall for a while,” she said at the time.
The move was essentially done as a two fingers to people questioning her sexuality and androgynous style.

In 2001, Slim Shady was at the peak of his fame, having cemented himself as one of the most successful – and controversial – rappers of the time. But it’s safe to say no one was expecting him to duet with music legend Elton John, especially given the nature of some of Eminem’s lyrics.
At the time, it was reported that several LGBTQ+ advocacy groups were far from happy with the move.

Whitney Houston was tragically found dead in her hotel room just one day before the 2012 Grammys, with Jennifer Hudson stepping in last minute to perform a memorable tribute to the star.
The music industry and wider entertainment world was still reeling from the heartbreaking news as Hudson belted out Houston’s iconic song ‘I Will Always Love You’. She received a standing ovation from the crowd following the emotional performance.

In 2012, rapper Nicki Minaj majorly p**sed off the Catholic church when she strutted down the red carpet arm in arm with a fake priest before putting on an ‘exorcism’ during a performance of her track ‘Roman Holiday’.
Jaws dropped as the star began levitating while hooked up to various cables.
In response to the backlash, Minaj said she ‘didn’t know what the big issue was’.

In 2014, Macklemore’s track ‘Same Love’ began ringing out of the Grammys stage when towards the end out of nowhere, 33 same-sex and straight couples lined up on stage to get married with Queen Latifah ordaining.
Oh, and to make matters even more iconic, Madonna then steps out to sing her hit ‘Open Your Heart’, prompting a second wave of cheers to erupt from the crowd.
“This song is a love song, not for some of us, but for all of us,” Queen Latifah said at the time.
Doja Cat nearly misses her award… because she was in the restroom

That’s right, Doja Cat had nipped to the loo when it was announced she and SZA had won best pop duo for their song ‘Kiss Me More’ at the 2022 Grammys. Typical.
Safe to say the star looked flustered as she finally joined SZA on stage to accept the award, joking that she’d never used the toilet so quickly ‘in my whole life’.
