Kanye West has been hit with huge backlash following a new cryptic post to Instagram related to his wife Bianca Censori's X-rated outfit at the 2025 Grammys.
Censori revealed everything on the red carpet at the event, held in Los Angeles on Sunday (2 February) in the aftermath of brutal fires that have engulfed the Californian city area.
Wearing a fur coat, she walked the red carpet with West before taking it off while posing for the paparazzi to reveal a sheer dress showing off her entire body. The 30-year-old Australian model was wearing no underwear underneath the dress itself.

Taking to Instagram this morning, West posted screenshots from Google Trends, which analyses what terms are trending around the world.
Comparing 'Bianca Censori Grammys' to 'Grammy winners 2025', he showed a graph showing more interest in the term relating to his wife.
He also shared a screenshot from the top trends in the USA, with Censori topping that list ahead of searches for winners and performers from the award show including Chappell Roan, Benson Boone, Kendrick Lamar, and Beyonce.
Reacting to West's new post, followers of his account were critical of his approach to the viral incident.
One wrote: "Stop f**king marketing your wife. Ain't nobody care about that, turn to God," as a second said: "So you used your wife's body for clout?"
A third wrote: "You got daughters, brother."
And a fourth posted: "Is she a social experiment to you?"
This is not the first post from West in relation to the incident, as one deleted Instagram post saw him share a drawing of the dress from its design stage alongside a tribute to his wife.
It read: "Custom Couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful ever. My love, my best friend and my wife."
The rapper also took to Instagram to respond to rumours he had been escorted from the Grammys after being asked to leave.
Hitting out at journalist Don Lemon, 47-year-old West described the reporter as a 'goofball' in yet another deleted post, in which Lemon was labelled with an extremely offensive, racist term.
He wrote: "This the goofball that started the rumour that me and my wife got kicked out the Grammies. Three decades of innovating music and they always k***s like this."
Lemon himself took to social media to say he did not start the rumour and in fact moved to clarify said gossip.
"Kanye West called me a c**n," Lemon said. "Kanye, I could have roasted you on the red carpet. Like really come at you hard, no barriers.
"There was not a barricade, there was no security, I was right on you. I could have asked you anything.
"I could have asked you why are you an anti-semite, why are you sexist, what would make you think that Kamala Harris would come near you with a 10-foot pole? I didn't even discuss the odd things that you and your wife are doing and that people are actually really concerned for your wife. They are really worried about her."
Grammys 2025 most shocking fashion moments
Jaden Smith
Along with his classic black tuxedo, Jaden Smith opted for an unusual headpiece which included a castle with a tiny cut-out hole for his face.
Some fans think he was referencing Willem Dafoe who was famously pictured wearing a similar headpiece during a GQ Italy shoot centred on the notion 'Home Is Where Your Head Is'.
Jennifer Lopez
The singer left fans divided over her outfit as she rocked up donning a black cropped turtleneck top alongside a structured sheer skirt by Stéphane Rolland.
While some fans loved the out-there look, others brutally said it looked as though she'd forgotten to pull her dress up all the way. Yikes.
Julia Fox
The Uncut Gems actress strutted her stuff on the red carpet sporting an all-black ensemble including an oversized leather jacket along with statement yellow latex gloves.
Safe to say some fans were baffled by the hand gear, as one joked they'd been 'looking for' their cleaning gloves.
Markos D1
The LA recording artist was joined by a special guest on the Grammys red carpet... a glittery, bejewelled snake.
Alongside his slithery friend, he opted for a simple satin black suit.
Shawn Everett
Looks like Julia Fox wasn't the only one going for a statement glove...
Canadian music producer Everett went all out sporty on the carpet, pairing a red Adidas zip-up dress with eye-popping red latex gloves and tights.
