Chappell Roan is taking the buzz surrounding her audacious 2026 Grammys gown in stride, finding humor in the situation.
The singer recently posted photos on Instagram showcasing the daring, sheer burgundy Mugler dress she donned for the event. The attention-grabbing ensemble, which left little to the imagination, was held together with sparkling faux piercings.
Despite the stir, Roan downplayed the outfit’s shock factor.
“Laughing because I don’t even think this is THAT outrageous of an outfit,” she commented. “The look is actually quite awesome and quirky.”
She added, “I recommend just exercising your free will; it’s really fun and silly :D. Thank you for having me @grammys and to everyone who voted for me!!”
Many of her fans agreed with her sentiment in the comments section, writing that her Grammys look was “the coolest” and “simply perfect.”
The “Hot to Go” singer was up for two Grammys on Sunday — Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance, both for “The Subway” — but went home empty-handed.
Record of the Year went to Kendrick Lamar’s “Luther” and Best Pop Solo Performance went to Lola Young’s “Messy.”
Still, Roan, 27, had one of the most talked-about dresses of the night.
Aside from it being revealing, the style also allowed her to show off a lot of temporary body art, including a pony drawing on her chest and a giant temporary tattoo of a lace design on her back.
Roan credited artist Jenny Collins for the tattoos, who goes by Puppy Puppy Playtime.
The “Pink Pony Club” songstress also accessorized with statement jewelry by Buccellati which included a gold choker and matching gold drop earrings.
She covered up the body art in a few red carpet pics, opting to rock a matching sheer, burgundy cape.
She also changed outfits when she presented the award for Best New Artist to Olivia Dean during the ceremony.
Roan’s second dress of the night was an ethereal Rodarte dress from the label’s 2007 fall/winter collection, and was far more conservative than her Mugler red carpet dress.
The musician is known for her bold personal style and made waves at the 2025 Grammys as well in a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier ballgown.
