Mar. 15, 2025

An executive producer behind the 2025 Grammy Awards is weighing in onKanye Westand his wife Bianca Censori’s controversial red carpet stunt after Censori undressed on the carpet, revealing her nearly naked body.

Censori’s display led to public outcry, particularly around whether or not the 30-year-old model violated the Grammys dress code — or even broke the law.

Raj Kapoor, the executive producer behind this year’s Grammys, tells PEOPLE that “artistic black-tie” is the dress code listed for the show’s guests, adding,“but 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. But as far as people attending and nominees attending, that would be something the [Recording] Academy [presents the Grammys] would have to answer,” adds Kapoor, who is returning to the2025 Oscarson March 2 as an executive producer and showrunner.

The advisory says “buttocks and female breasts” should be “adequately covered,” sheer or see-through clothing that “could possibly expose female breast nipples” be avoided in addition to “exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttock and buttock crack.” The statement also requires that the “genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible ‘puffy’ bare skin exposure.”
