Kanye West has come to the defense of his wife, Bianca Censori, after her sheer, barely-there dress at the 2025 Grammys sparked widespread controversy. The rapper took to social media to shower praise on Censori and dismiss the backlash, saying he was in “admiration” of her bold fashion choice.

“My wife’s first red carpet opened a whole new world,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter), alongside a photo from the event. “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.’”

The couple, who arrived together at the 67th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, made headlines after Censori’s revealing outfit drew criticism, with some questioning how West’s late mother, Donda West, would feel about the look. The rapper didn’t hold back in his response: “People asked, ‘How would your mother feel?’ You don’t know my mama, b*h.”

West also took credit for curating the look, revealing that the dress had been meticulously adjusted multiple times. “We tailored that invisible dress six times, and just like magic, poof. We disappeared,” he added, referencing their early exit from the event.

In addition to defending his wife, West celebrated the media attention Censori received, sharing a screenshot from Google Analytics that showed her trending globally. “WE BEAT THE GRAMMIES,” he wrote. “FOR CLARITY, FEBRUARY 4TH 2025, MY WIFE IS THE MOST GOOGLED PERSON ON THE PLANET CALLED EARTH.”

Despite the backlash, West remained unapologetic, thanking outlets that highlighted Censori’s confidence. “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,” he noted.

This isn’t the first time the couple has made headlines for their provocative public appearances. In 2023, they faced scrutiny after an "indecent" public incident in Venice led to a police investigation.
