Chappell Roan responded with humor to the attention generated by the dress she wore at the 2026 edition of the Grammy Awards.After her walk on the red carpet, the singer shared on her Instagram account a series of images of the design she wore to the ceremony and directly referred to the reactions caused by her aesthetic choice.
The dress, a burgundy Mugler creation, was translucent and left much of the body exposed.
The garment was held in place by shiny false piercings that simulated being embedded in the skin, a detail that drew special attention during the broadcast of the event and on social networks.
Despite the comments generated, the famous woman maintained that the outfit did not seem particularly extreme to her.
“Laughing because I don’t even think this is THAT outrageous of an outfit. The look is really amazing and weird. I recommend that you just exercise your free will it’s really funny and silly,” he wrote.
She also thanked the Recording Academy for the invitation and those who voted for her in the categories in which she competed.Many of her followers supported her position in the comments, highlighting the dress as one of the most striking of the night.
The 27-year-old performer was nominated for two awards at the ceremony: Recording of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance, both for her song “TheSubway.”However, it did not win awards in any of the categories.
The Record of the Year award went to Kendrick Lamar for “Luther,” while the Best Pop Solo Performance award went to Lola Young for “Messy.”Even so, Roan’s presence on the red carpet became one of the most talked about moments of the event.
Mugler’s design not only stood out for its transparency, but also for allowing the artist to display several pieces of temporary body art.
These included a drawing of a pony on the chest and a large lace-like design on the back, similar to a henna tattoo.She famously credited these interventions to artist Jenny Collins, known professionally as PuppyPuppy Playtime.
To complement the outfit, the singer chose striking jewelry from Buccellati, including a gold choker and matching long earrings.
In some red carpet appearances, Roan partially covered the dress and body art with a translucent cape of the same burgundy color, which added another visual layer to the look.
Later in the night, Chappell Roan changed costumes as he took the stage to present the award for Best New Artist, which was awarded to Olivia Dean.
For that moment, she opted for a different style: a Rodarte dress from the brand’s fall/winter 2007 collection.The garment, with a more classic and ethereal design, contrasted with the Mugler design that he had previously worn.
The artist had already generated attention in previous editions of the Grammys for her wardrobe choices.At the 2025 ceremony, for example, she attended in a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier gala dress, consolidating a public image associated with striking aesthetic proposals and references to archival fashion.
