Bianca Censori‘s nearly nude Grammys red carpet appearance has been a topic of huge uproar in the last few days. Viewers on social media have slammed the approach with Meghan McCain’ calling her a ‘hostage’ to her husband Kayne West. Now, body language expert Judi James has weighed in and claimed she showed signs of discomfort and detachment during the highly-publicized stunt.
The 29-year-old Australian model has always been known for her provocative fashion choices. She took things to an extreme on Sunday night when she wore nothing but a sheer, body-hugging outfit as she posed alongside her husband, Kanye West. However, despite her history of risqué outfits, some believe this time was different and crossed barriers.
According to body language expert Judi James, Censori exhibited subtle but telling signs of unease as she got rid of her coat and faced the cameras. “Bianca’s collusion signals did seem to evaporate once she’d lost the coat,” James told Mirror US. “Her confident, runway model facial expression melted as her eye expression became devoid of any emotion apart from a hint of fear in the way her eyes became rounder and more widely-opened.”
James likened West’s presence to that of a “Svengali” figure and noted that while he posed fully clothed, Censori seemed to emotionally disengage from the experience. “With Kanye posing beside her in his dominant, body-guard-looking combo and stance—with legs splayed and hands in front of his crotch—there is a magician-like unveiling act going on here. He doesn’t expose so much as an inch of skin, yet he presents his wife’s body as though it’s his biggest achievement this year,” she observed.
Kanye, who is not a new name to get headline-grabbing stunts, later took to Instagram to defend Censori’s controversial look. He called it a “Custom Couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful ever. My love, my best friend and my wife.” However, he later deleted the post, along with another cryptic jab at

Beyond the social media storm, the daring outfit could have more serious consequences for Bianca Censori. Under California Penal Code 314(1), indecent exposure is considered a crime if it is “willful and lewd” and done with the intent to shock or offend. Legal experts speculate that, in theory, Censori’s Grammys stunt could fall under this classification. It stays under the curtains if any legal action will be taken.

As speculation swirls, the question stands strong—was this a bold fashion display or something more concerning? The Grammys moment may have been brief, but its impact is far from over.
