Ye or Nay? The Controversy Surrounding Brianna Censori’s Grammy’s Outfit

Updated Published
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Mich chapter.

Ye, formerly named Kanye West, made an unexpected appearance with his wife Brianna Censori at last weekend’s Grammys Award Show. Brianna, who looks uncannily similar to Ye’s former wife Kim Kardashian, walked onto the carpet wearing what appeared to be a plain fur black coat. Her and Ye walked across the carpet and stopped in front of the cameras, appearing to exchange a brief, tense conversation, until Brianna turned away from the cameras and slowly dropped her coat.

Underneath this conservative blanket was an entirely sheer dress which entirely exposed Briannas self. After she revealed herself, both her and Ye posed like it was just another outfit and she hadn’t just gone nude on the red carpet. 

Following this incident, both celebrities received major backlash and uproar by the media for Brianna’s public display of blatant nudity. Many felt that this was an inappropriate stunt that degraded all the women who had previously walked before her, mocking the dress and attire of others. People argued this was completely uncalled for—especially since the couple was not invited to the Grammys anyway. 

Others tried to find a brighter side to this stunt, or really just tried to find a reason why someone would expose themselves in front of some of our nation’s most famous music creators. They reasoned that this was possibly meant to be an empowering stunt, showing that a confident woman could show herself off if she was so sure in herself. Speculators felt that this could have been a form of her independent self-expression and identity. 

So really, the question is: why would Censori pull such a stunt? Many speculators looked into the brief exchange between Censori and Ye right before she dropped her coat. Some feel that Censori may have been pressured by Ye to pull this stunt, raising even greater concern and controversy. 

Overall, we can continue to formulate our own opinions about this public stunt and continue to wonder what is truly going on behind the minds of this famous celebrity couple.
