Bianca Censori’s family break silence on ‘naked’ Grammys red carpet scandal as Kanye West and wife spark outrage
Bianca Censori’s mother has broken her silence following her daughter’s controversial nude appearance at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards, requesting privacy for her family.
Alexandra Censori told Daily Mail Australia: “We are just normal people, living our own lives as privately as we can. I have nothing to say about Bianca, thank you.”
The comments come after the 30-year-old Australian model sparked global headlines by dropping her fur coat on the red carpet to reveal a completely sheer mini dress.
Censori’s mother was spotted outside her Melbourne home on Wednesday, wearing £500 sunglasses and carrying a Hermès Birkin handbag worth £14,453, as she politely declined to comment further on her daughter’s headline-making stunt.
The dramatic scene unfolded on Sunday night when Censori arrived at the Grammy Awards alongside her husband Kanye West, 47, who was nominated for Best Rap Song.
Initially wearing a plush chocolate-coloured fur coat, Censori suddenly shrugged off the outerwear to reveal a completely mesh skin-coloured mini dress that left little to the imagination.
A lip reader later claimed West appeared to orchestrate the moment, telling his wife: “Make a scene, I’ll say it’ll make so much sense.”
According to the lip reader, West then instructed: “Drop it behind you and then turn. I got you.”
While West was fully clothed in a black t-shirt and trousers, his wife’s revealing outfit sparked immediate controversy online, with many questioning whether it violated California’s indecent exposure laws.
Despite rumours they were escorted out, sources confirmed the couple left the ceremony of their own accord.
The contrasting reactions within Censori’s family became apparent as her younger sister Angelina, 20, showed public support for the controversial Grammy appearance.
Angelina took to Instagram to share footage of her sister’s red carpet reveal, re-posting the viral moment to her Stories.
She also commented with a fire emoji on West’s now-deleted Instagram post about the incident, where he had written: “Custom Couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful ever. My love, my best friend and my wife.”
Censori’s sibling has emerged as something of a social media sensation herself, having amassed over 20,000 Instagram followers since her sister’s relationship with West began.
Previous reports have claimed there have been ongoing family concerns about Censori’s relationship with West and her public appearances.
Sources told MailOnline in 2024 that her parents were “shocked” when she returned to West after a brief split, claiming they felt “tricked” as Censori had indicated she was preparing to leave him.

“Her parents are shocked by what they’re seeing – they feel tricked because Bianca told them she was getting ready to leave,” one source claimed.
Another source emphasised the family’s worries about control issues: “If Kanye can have so much control over her that she is being dishonest with her family and friends, it is scary.”
