Bianca Censori had reservations about her revealing outfit at the 67th Grammy Awards but ultimately followed through under Kanye West’s insistence.
Censori, 30, would have preferred a more conventional dress for the high-profile event but felt compelled to go along with West’s vision.
"She would have much rather worn a pretty dress," an insider close to the rapper revealed to The New York Post. The source added that Censori would have enjoyed the evening more under different circumstances.
During the awards night, Censori removed her fur coat in front of flashing cameras, unveiling a sheer, skin-tight minidress worn without a bra or underwear.
A lip reader analysing the footage claimed that West, 47, whispered to his wife, “You’re making a scene now,” as the moment unfolded.
While she ultimately agreed to step out in the bold ensemble, the source emphasised that she had initial concerns about the level of exposure.
"When Ye gets something in his head, there’s no talking him out of it. But make no mistake, this was totally him and not her," the insider stated.
Though Censori has been seen in provocative outfits before, having worked as a creative director for the fashion line Raga Malak, this instance was reportedly different.
According to Daily Mail, West was in discussions with Grammys organisers before the event, ensuring there would be no legal consequences for the eye-catching stunt.
A separate source disclosed that the couple carefully planned the moment to navigate laws surrounding indecent exposure.
"That nude stocking which covered Bianca's body was how the Yeezy recording artist was hoping to avoid formal charges," the insider explained.
The report further suggests that West was fully aware of the potential legal risks involved.
"He was dancing awfully close to breaking Californian laws by setting up a performative moment that he knew would break the internet," the source added.
