Grammys producer confirmed official dress code after Bianca Censori’s naked outfit sparked backlash
Look, the Grammys wouldn't be the Grammys without a hefty amount of headline-making moments.
One of the most-talked about scandals which took place last year was, unsurprisingly, the major backlash sparked by the outfit that Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori donned for the red carpet.
In February last year, West, who now just goes by 'Ye', and Censori stunned the world after she stepped out wearing a completely see-through mini dress which showed off her bare breasts and nether regions, while her husband donned an all-black t-shirt and trousers ensemble.
There was a whole load of drama following the risqué fashion stunt, including false reports that the couple were 'kicked out' of the Grammys, as well as fans questioning if Censori could face jail time for the statement ensemble.

However, according to TMZ, the Los Angeles Police Department said no formal complaints were made to the police about Censori's outfit, pointing out that the Grammys is a private event and that West was an 'invited guest'.
A Grammys producer did comment on the ordeal though and clarified exactly what the official dress code for the awards evening was.
Raj Kapoor told People last year that while there is an 'artistic black-tie' dress code that guests must adhere to, there may be some loopholes given the status of certain A-listers on the guestlist.
"In the music industry, I guess that's up for interpretation," he added.
Kapoor went on to note: "Obviously there is a dress code for anybody actually performing on the show that we have to adhere to standards and practices. But as far as people attending and nominees attending, that would be something the [Recording] Academy [presents the Grammys] would have to answer."
At the time, Ye took to social media to share a gushy statement about his wife, claiming he's proud of the online stir that her dress had evidently roused.
Alongside three red love-heart emojis, he began: "My wife’s first red carpet opened a whole new world.
"I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night Thinking wow I am so lucky to have a wife that is so smart talented brave and hot.
"She took a break from shooting her first film to make a movie in real life. We Tailored that invisible dress 6 times And just like magic poof we disappeared."
He continued: "Thank you to all the outlets who recognized us and gave us back the energy we put in. But I have to give a shout out to the American Vogue team for writing an article that places my wife in a strong positive light and also recognizes rightful strength."
Concluding his statement, the rapper penned: "People asked how would your mother feel. You don’t know my mama b*tch."
