Chappell Roan stole the spotlight at the 2026 Grammy Awards, held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 1.

Known for her eclectic style and fearless fashion choices, the 27-year-old singer made a statement on the red carpet as she embraced a daring, risqué look in a stunning see-through, burgundy mesh gown that left little to the imagination.

The gown, which hung provocatively off her nipple piercings, was complemented by a pair of black thong underpants and a striking gold choker. Initially, Roan draped a shawl over her chest, but she confidently unveiled her bold outfit as she posed for the cameras, fully embracing the night’s glamour while showcasing her rebellious spirit. Her look was complete with strappy black heels, heavy eye makeup, and an ombre red lip, exuding both sultry elegance and fierce individuality.

The Grammys celebrated the best in music, featuring an array of performances by stars such as Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, and Bruno Mars. Roan herself was nominated for two accolades: Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year, capturing attention not just for her outfit but also for her impressive musical achievements. The night also saw notable nominations in key categories, including Album of the Year, with prominent artists like Bad Bunny and Kendrick Lamar vying for the prestigious honour.

During her time on the red carpet, Roan spoke with Zuri Hall, sharing candidly about her feelings of being “overstimulated.” The pressure of the flashing cameras and public attention can be overwhelming, but the singer assured viewers that she was still “feeling good” as she navigated the excitement of the evening. She humorously noted, “I’m not performing this year, so this is a piece of cake,” highlighting her ease amidst the chaos of the night.

Roan’s red carpet history has not been without its challenges. She previously made headlines for her fiery exchanges with photographers, showcasing a fiercely protective side when it comes to her personal space.

At the 2024 MTV VMAs, she famously confronted an aggressive photographer, which led to discussions among red-carpet attendants about how to handle Roan’s appearance at the Grammys. Thankfully, this year’s press line was notably calm and respectful, illustrating a change in the atmosphere surrounding the star.
