Chappell Roan Stands by Her Daring Grammys Fashion Choice
Pop sensation Chappell Roan has openly defended her revealing outfit from the 2026 Grammy Awards, describing it as "awesome and weird" after the bold look sparked widespread outrage across social media platforms. The 27-year-old singer-songwriter made a striking entrance on the red carpet, wearing a sheer burgundy Mulger dress that was notably attached to her nipple piercings, leaving her breasts exposed.
Social Media Erupts Over the Show-Stopping Look
Roan's ensemble quickly became one of the most talked-about fashion moments of the prestigious music event. In response to the online chatter, she took to Instagram to share her thoughts, writing, "Giggling because I don't even think this is THAT outrageous of an outfit." She further elaborated, "The look's actually so awesome and weird. I recommend just exercising your free will it's really fun and silly." Roan also expressed gratitude to the Grammys and her voters in the same post.
However, not everyone was impressed. Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo commented, "Chappell Roan decided to leave her top at home and use her nipples as accessories. Unfortunate fashion choice. She was far from alone." On X, critics were vocal, with one user stating, "Just no class at all," and another bluntly adding, "PUT ON SOME CLOTHES???"
Fans Rally in Support of the Singer's Bold Statement
Despite the backlash, Roan's loyal fanbase rallied to her defense. One supporter on X wrote, "Every time a celebrity wears something revealing, they're hit with the 'i miss when celebs had class' like why do basic human body parts make you spiral bro rn im talking abt Chappel Roan's Grammys outfit. IT LOOKS COOL AS HELL!!!" Another fan on Instagram praised her, saying, "Some people have never seen boobs in their life and it shows ? you looked absolutely INCREDIBLE!" A third admirer simply added, "Fearless and flawless."
Details of Roan's Grammys Appearance and Style
Roan enhanced her daring look with playful body art, including a hand-drawn pony on her chest—a cheeky nod to her cult hit Pink Pony Club—and an oversized lace-style tattoo sprawled across her back. Her signature red locks were styled in soft curls, complemented by a crystal choker and matching earrings that added to the dramatic effect.
Interestingly, when Roan took to the Grammy's stage later to present an award, she appeared to have a change of heart, swapping her revealing ensemble for an ethereal cut-out gown that offered more coverage. The A-list star was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for her song The Subway, though she lost to Kendrick Lamar and SZA's Luther and Lola Young's Messy, respectively. This follows her previous success, as Roan won a Grammy for Best New Artist just last year.
