Will Kanye West's wife, Bianca Censori, be arrested for dressing inappropriately in Spain? Locals are horrified; here's what the rules say

Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, have yet again grabbed global headlines for dressing inappropriately, this time in Spain.

When she donned a sheer fish net outfit, they transformed a market stroll in Mallorca into a global conversation. Locals were stunned and wanted to know if the revealing look broke Spanish decency laws or if the couple's latest fashion stunt was totally legal.

What was Bianca Censori wearing?

Bianca Censori went shopping at a Mallorca street market in a transparent top, prompting onlookers to call her outfit "disrespectful,” as per a report by the Daily Mail.

While touring the booths at an outdoor market in Mallorca, the 30-year-old wandered from stall to stall, startling onlookers with her upper body prominently exposed while sporting a black fish net bra top.

The thick fringe on her long, dark hair, which was styled straight, appeared to hide most of her eyes behind her dark sunglasses.

The couple's revealing outfit caused locals to be "left horrified" as they passed through the market. Kanye was letting her explore the market while he stood back a little.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori, who are no strangers to controversy, have frequently drawn criticism for their wardrobe selections, with locals becoming incensed at Bianca's barely-there outfits.

How did the locals react to her outfit?

Many have criticised Bianca's appearance, calling it "inappropriate" as it was so revealing.

"This woman hasn't been arrested for indecency yet!" someone exclaimed.

One person wrote, "So disrespectful to the country and their modest views," while another said, "We have literally seen it all, even when we didn't want to."

“How do they manage to get away with this?” "Any other non-celebrity who tried it would be arrested," someone else enquired, as per a report by the Daily Mail.

Kanye West chose to wear jeans and a hoodie with the word "Army" printed on it, deviating slightly from his typical all-black outfit. The 29-year-old Angelina, Censori's younger sister, accompanied them on the excursion.

Does Spanish law ban sheer outfits?

According to Catalan equality law, women have been permitted to go topless in some parts of Spain since 2020, despite the criticism.

The Daily Record reports that Spanish authorities have implemented regulations that permit women to enjoy public sunbathing without a top, without worrying about being arrested. Rather, police risk heavy fines for enforcing a cover-up.

Women who are prevented from going topless may face fines of up to £430,000 [$900,000 AUD] from them. The legal experts say an arrest is unlikely, but public backlash continues strong.

FAQs

Is Bianca really breaking Spanish decency laws?
Probably not. Since 2020, Catalan area rules allow women to go topless in most public places, so wearing a see-through top is unlikely to result in an arrest, though local bylaws may vary.

Can police still intervene if there are enough complaints?
Spain's topless-friendly statutes make it difficult to justify any formal penalty, even if she is asked to cover up under "public order" or "offensive conduct" clauses.
