Kanye West defends wife Bianca Censori in new statement after she exposed herself on Grammys red carpet

Kanye West has made it clear where he stands on the X-rated outfit his wife Bianca Censori wore to this year's Grammy Awards in a lengthy new statement.

Taking to Twitter, the rap star, 47, shared a series of snaps from the music ceremony, along with a lengthy paragraph detailing how he and his Aussie other-half 'opened a whole new world' with the controversial get-up.

When they first turned up to the Grammys red carpet, West was donning an all-black tee and suit trousers number, while his wife surprised her fans by rocking up in a rather heavy-looking fur coat.

It was worlds away from the notoriously scantily-clad outfits she's previously sparked controversy with. But it didn't take long for the model to leave both paparazzi and viewers at home picking their jaws up off the floor after she shrugged off the gigantic piece of outerwear to reveal a totally mesh, skin-coloured dress below.

The fashion choice my have raised many eyebrows, but one individual in full support of the hotly-debated dress is her husband Kanye.

Last night (5 February), he took to Twitter to share a gushy statement about his wife, claiming he's proud of the online stir that her dress has evidently roused.

Alongside three red love-heart emojis, Kanye began: "My wife’s first red carpet opened a whole new world.

"I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night Thinking wow I am so lucky to have a wife that is so smart talented brave and hot.

"She took a break from shooting her first film to make a movie in real life. We Tailored that invisible dress 6 times And just like magic poof we disappeared."

He continued: "Thank you to all the outlets who recognized us and gave us back the energy we put in. But I have to give a shout out to the American Vogue team for writing an article that places my wife in a strong positive light and also recognizes rightful strength."

Concluding his statement, Kanye penned: "People asked how would your mother feel. You don’t know my mama b***h".

Many fans questioned whether the controversial look was even legal and could land Bianca in trouble.

California Penal Code 314 defines 'indecent exposure' as when someone: "1. Exposes his person, or the private parts thereof, in any public place, or in any place where there are present other persons to be offended or annoyed thereby ; or...

"2. Procures, counsels, or assists any person so to expose himself or take part in any model artist exhibition, or to make any other exhibition of himself to public view, or the view of any number of persons, such as is offensive to decency, or is adapted to excite to vicious or lewd thoughts or acts."

However, according to Kenn California Law Group, it would depend on whether it could be proven that Bianca indecently exposed herself in front of someone who might be offended or annoyed by it.

It'd also have to be proven that she intended to direct attention to themselves, with the intention of sexually gratifying themselves or offending someone.

If all of the above can be proven by a prosecutor, the penalty is a fine of up to $1,000 or six months in jail.

According to TMZ, however, Bianca will not be punished for her Grammys get-up.

The LAPD reportedly told the outlet that the Grammys is a private event and that no one contacted the police to complain about her on the night.
