Grammy 2025: Breakdown of all controversial outfits from the event

From Jaw dropping glam and statement looks to completely scandalous outfits, stars at the Grammy’s 2025 didn’t miss a chance to be in the headlines. Over the years, controversies are common at the music’s most famous night, however, this year the celebration turned more than unexpected, as celebs crossed boundaries in terms of fashion, for which some even had to face consequences for their dress sense. 

While some outfits at the event were admired, others faced intense criticism, outrage leading to several debates online and controversies. From Jennifer Lopez to Bianca Censori, this year the dresses not just crossed limits, but set new standards for the upcoming fashion industry.  

1. BIANCA CENSORI’S ALL TRANSPARENT DRESS 

A discussion about Grammy’s 2025 most controversial outfits will be incomplete, if Bianca Censori is not at the top of the list. Her sheer dress has not just landed her into intense controversy and questions but has significantly affected her personality. 

She entered the red carpet in a black fur coat with her husband Kayne West, however while posing for the paparazzi, she moved to her back, removed her coat and revealed her nak*d body. Underneath the heavy coat, she wore a completely transparent short dress, which barely covered any part of her body. Her look turned out to be a major ‘Flop’ for the event, but a big hit for ‘controversies’.

Since her appearance on the red carpet, social media users were seen expressing their rage over the celebrity stating her appearance as ‘Disgusting’ and ‘Disturbing’. However, immediately after their arrival at the event. 

Bianca Censori needs to put that coat back on because why is she “dressed” like that at the Grammys???

I am a creative person. I believe very strongly in self-expression. Having said that, there is something very wrong with Bianca Censori. Her public appearances are often incredibly indecent. Enough is enough!

Bianca Censori looks totally uncomfortable in that see through fabric (I'm not gonna call it a dress). She repeatedly pulls the fabric downward as to cover her butt, but unfortunately it is see through. And her eyes are just blank, wonder what went through her brain

Bianca Censori is a frightened and abused woman. Don't look at her naked body that is being paraded around by a toxic abusive man. Look at her eyes. He has destroyed her soul.

The headpiece costs around $4600, however after Jaden smith’s unexpected look, it immediately sold out. The headpiece has worked well for smith to be in talks among the public.  

This is just dumb. #JadenSmith is SUCH a try hard, but he doesn’t have to be. Your dad is Wil Smith, bro. Just be cool-this screams “I AM SUFFERING from DIRE-NEED-OF-ATTENTIONITIS”. He looks looks silly as hell. #Grammys2025 #GRAMMYs #GRAMMY pic.twitter.com/rAacKRDagd

This is Jaden Smith, Will Smith’s son, at The Grammys. While what he’s wearing is ridiculous, there’s a real sadness in this kid’s eyes. As a Dad, this hurts my heart to be honest. pic.twitter.com/Reoy7q6xM3

5. JOY VILLA’S MISMATCHED OUTFIT
