West, 47, and his wife, Bianca Censori, 30, caused controversy on Sunday when the architect arrived at the Grammys wearing little more than a clear chiffon slip.

The nearly-naked display led to the pair reportedly being kicked out of the Los Angeles awards bash, with Kanye told to leave despite being nominated for two awards.

West opted for a standard all-black ensemble - with jeans, trainers and black sunglasses.

Bianca, meanwhile, shocked attendees when she revealed a skin-tight see-through mesh beneath a fluffy black coat.
