A Grammys Producer Revealed The Actual Dress Code Amid All The Backlash Over Kanye West And Bianca Censori, And It’s Left Me With Even More Questions Than Before

Back in 2013, CBS ruled against “problematic” “thong type costumes” on the Grammys red carpet and requested that “buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered.”

There is simultaneously a lot and not a lot to say about the NSFW outfit that Bianca Censori wore to the Grammys on Sunday.

But in the days since she and her fully-clothed husband, Kanye West, arrived at the event, her entirely see-through mini-dress — worn with nothing underneath — has been the center of many conversations about fashion, consent, and what counts as too risqué for the red carpet.

Amid all the discourse about the look, there was a lot of speculation as to whether the fully transparent gown had actually violated the official dress code for the Grammy Awards, which is aired on CBS.

Now, the executive producer of the 2025 Grammys, Raj Kapoor, has weighed in on the topic, telling People that the official dress code was “artistic black-tie,” which was, well…open for interpretation.

“Obviously there is a dress code for anybody actually performing on the show that we have to adhere to standards and practices,” he told the outlet on Feb. 4, adding that the dress code was “up for interpretation.” 

“But as far as people attending and nominees attending,” he added, “that would be something the [Recording] Academy [that presents the Grammys] would have to answer.”

I’m not sure about you, but I don’t think that response entirely answers our questions. So, we’ll keep you posted on any updates.

The speculation as to whether or not Bianca and Ye had broken the rules ramped up after a resurfaced “Standard and Practice Wardrobe Advisory” document, initially published by Deadline in 2013, revealed that CBS had previously ruled against “problematic” “thong type costumes” on the red carpet and requested that “buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered.”

“Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic,” the note reads. “Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples.”

It continues: “Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible ‘puffy’ bare skin exposure.”

On top of this, it’s possible that Bianca may have violated California state law, whereby “indecent exposure” is considered a “crime against public decency and good morals” if someone is to expose their genitals in “any public place” or in “any place where there are present other persons to be offended or annoyed.”

As far as we know, no charges have been filed against Bianca. And for what it’s worth, Ye remains in defense of the fashion choice and all the attention they garnered from it, having already doubled down in a since-deleted Instagram post.

I guess the discourse lives to see another day. You can find the full People report here.
