Chappell Roan Stuns in Grammys Dress Suspended by Unique Design
Chappell Roan made a striking appearance at the 2026 Grammys, showcasing her unique fashion sense. The eight-time Grammy nominee donned a custom dress from Mugler that exemplified her theatrical style. This stunning outfit featured a sheer, deep-red chiffon slip that flowed elegantly from nipple rings, culminating in an extended train.
Fashion Statement at the Grammys
Roan’s dress was notable not just for its bold design but also for its intricate detailing. The base of the dress resembled second-skin material, adorned with eye-catching tattoos, including a distinctive “princess” tattoo on her lower back. This look was a reimagining of a design from Mugler’s spring 2026 collection, under the direction of new creative head Miguel Castro Freitas.
- Inspired by Mugler’s iconic “Jeu de Paume” spring/summer 1998 couture show.
- Styled by Genesis Webb, who curated the entire ensemble.
- Accompanied by matching underwear, gold choker, and open-toe heels.
Makeup and Hair Choices
For her makeup, the “Good Luck, Babe!” artist adopted a simpler approach compared to her usual dramatic looks. Her glam team focused on her long lashes while keeping her brows natural. After experimenting with a short bob, she opted for her signature long red waves, intricately braided for a mermaid-inspired style.
A Call for Fair Labor Practices
Chappell Roan’s impact extended beyond fashion this year. Last year’s Grammy debut marked a significant moment when she won the Best New Artist award. At the 2025 ceremony, she utilized her platform to advocate for fair treatment of artists. Roan expressed her concerns about the music industry, specifically addressing the need for record labels to offer livable wages and health care to developing artists.
Reflecting on her own experiences, she stated, “When I got signed, I was just a minor. After being dropped, I faced challenges due to lack of job experience.” Her remarks highlighted the industry’s shortcomings and emphasized the importance of treating artists with respect and dignity.
Recognition and Acclaim
As of the 2026 awards, Chappell Roan received nominations in two prestigious categories:
- Record of the Year for her hit “The Subway.”
- Best Pop Solo Performance.
Through her powerful presence both onstage and off, Roan continues to redefine the role of artists in the industry, making her a standout figure at this year’s Grammys.
