Raj Kapoor says the dress code is “artistic black-tie,” however, “I guess that’s up for interpretation.”

An executive producer for the Grammys is addressing Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori‘s, controversial red carpet moment on Sunday.

The rapper and his wife quickly drew heat online after Censori dropped her fur coat on the red carpet ahead of the 2025 awards ceremony, revealing a nearly nude look underneath with an exceedingly sheer minidress and seemingly no underwear. Many on social media questioned whether or not she violated the Grammys dress code or potentially broke the law.

Raj Kapoor, an executive producer behind this year’s show, told People magazine the dress code listed on guest’s invitations is “artistic black-tie,” however, “In the music industry, I guess that’s up for interpretation.”

“Obviously there is a dress code for anybody actually performing on the show that we have to adhere to standards and practices,” Kapoor added. “But as far as people attending and nominees attending, that would be something the [Recording] Academy [which presents the Grammys] would have to answer.”

West, who was nominated for best rap song for “Carnival,” spent a few minutes on the red carpet with Censori before leaving the event prior to the show starting. They were not asked to leave, despite opposing reports.

As for whether Censori is expected to face any legal consequences for the outfit, The Hollywood Reporter previously confirmed that an investigation with the Los Angeles Police Department has not been opened.

THR also previously reported that sources close to the couple have said the red carpet stunt was inspired by West’s Vultures 1 (released in February 2024) album cover, which featured the backside of a topless woman in a thong and boots.

West has also defended his wife’s transparent look, writing in a since-deleted Instagram post, “FOR CLARITY. MY WIFE IS THE MOST GOOGLED PERSON ON THE PLANET CALLED EARTH,” adding, “WE BEAT THE GRAMMIES [sic].”
