Kanye West Kept His Clothes on During Bianca Censori’s Naked Stunt But Wanted to Make a Bold Statement With Something He Wore
Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, made headlines around the world for their appearance on the red carpet at the 67th annual Grammy Awards.
Censori arrived on the carpet in a black fur coat but when she and West stopped for the cameras, she let that drop to the ground revealing a sheer mesh ensemble.
While all the attention was on Censori’s outfit or lack thereof, many didn’t notice the message the “Famous” rapper was trying to convey with what he was wearing.
West’s wife’s naked shocker shouldn’t have come as a surprise
Censori has been donning risqué looks and pushing boundaries since she’s been married to West. Therefore, seeing her nearly naked shouldn’t come as a surprise.
In 2023, she was photographed in Italy wearing a body stocking while clutching just a throw pillow over her chest. Later that year, the Australian-born model was spotted heading to a Miami club in a mesh metal swimsuit with a stuffed toy cat in front.
Then in 2024, some of her naked looks included a clear raincoat with nothing underneath that she was seen around Los Angeles wearing and a dinner in Italy with West where she sported a see-through poncho, again with nothing underneath.
But her sheer mini dress that left nothing to the imagination at the Grammys takes things to a new level because it was done on the red carpet ahead of a major award show. These large-scale events have seen stars pushing the envelope for years with barely-there skimpy outfits. However, there’s often a piece of material or strategically placed pasties covering up the goods. Cansori though did not have that making it the most shocking look we’ve ever seen on a red carpet.
West kept his clothes and accessories on to create his own ‘bold’ statement
As for West, his attire was in total contrast to his wife’s as he stood alongside her in a head-to-toe monochrome outfit. While his black T-shirt and pants were simple, he wanted to make a bold statement with the accessory around his neck. The diamond experts at U.K. jewelry retailer Steven Stone took a closer look at Ye’s necklace and the statement he was trying to make with it.
Maxwell Stone said: “Kanye accessorized his monochrome outfit with a Cartier Panthère necklace. Shaped like a panther, the necklace is crafted from white gold and black lacquer. It features a striking emerald as the panther’s eye and is adorned with 189 brilliant-cut diamonds that total 0.73 carats.”
Stone explained that the sparkling panther necklace symbolized a subtle yet powerful statement of strength and courage required to pull off such a bold stunt.
He added: “Renowned for his shock value, which is something he certainly lived up to at the Grammys, it’s no surprise that the striking piece carries deep symbolism. The panther — a symbol of strength, courage, leadership, and power across various cultures — perfectly aligns with his bold, headline-making antics.”
And if you’re wondering just how much West’s Cartier Panthère necklace cost, according to Stone: “It retails at $28,500.”
