American singer-songwriter Chappell Roan led a red carpet during one of the most talked-about fashion moments of the 68th Annual Grammy Awards that happened on February 1, 2026.
She wore a clear burgundy Mugler gown, which bore the style of the nude dress, but the transparent gown hung on the bottom half of the body, thanks to decorative fake piercings. This has been enhanced with temporary body art, including a sketch of a pony on her chest, probably a reference to her popular song ‘Pink Pony Club’, and a detailed lace tattoo pattern on her back.
Hairstyling, too, had her trademark red curls that were shaped in curls and fishtail patterns, as well as singed eyeliner, silver eyeshadow, and the soft blush that was accompanied by the dramatic outfit.
Roan herself was a classic interpretation of the merging of fashion and art at the Grammys, and even the red carpet statements that she made were not bold enough to be deemed a surprise at this juncture.
She turned out to be among the progeny of celebrities who have embraced provocative and even subversive fashions over the years, and she has demonstrated that the fashions of the night may be as newsworthy as the songs.
The viral moment and the climax of the evening coverage was simply the sheer look of Roan with all its models of daring fashion and symbolic strength.
Another influential person in the 2026 ceremony, besides being a fashion person, is because of what she has done in the field of music. She has already been nominated in two prominent categories, namely Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for her song ‘The Subway’, which points to her growing popularity in the music industry.
In 2025, due to the award of the Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammys and her adventurousness on the red carpet in 2026, she was even more proven to be a bold, creative voice in music and fashion.
