Chappell Roan's Grammy Outfit Sparks Laughter, Not Outrage. The Pop Singer's Baffling Choice Is Being Mocked as "Awesome and Weird."
Singer Chappell Roan, who made headlines on Sunday night for her bold outfit choice at the 2026 Grammys, is now chuckling about it all. Her custom maroon Mugler gown – featuring a sheer cape that quickly shed to reveal a topless style – has been met with more giggles than outrage.
Roan took to Instagram on Monday, February 2, posting a carousel of photos from the event and captioning them with: "Giggling because I don’t even think this is THAT outrageous of an outfit. The look’s actually so awesome and weird. I recommend just exercising your free will it’s really fun and silly
Thank you for having me @grammys and those who voted for me!!"
The reaction to Roan's look from the audience was mixed, with some people expressing support for her bold style choice, while others couldn't help but comment on how daring she looked. The video of Roan on the red carpet has garnered over 52 million views on Instagram, with comments ranging from "I love her but this is too much" to "Okay but she really ate this look up."
Roan's decision to wear a bold outfit at the Grammys was in line with what many fans have come to expect from her style. Last year, Roan made history as the first black woman to win Best New Artist at the ceremony and went on to make headlines for her fashion choices throughout the night.
When presenting this year’s best new artist prize to Olivia Dean, Roan opted for a change in attire, switching into a one-strap tan chiffon gown. Roan's bold style has been widely praised by fans and fellow artists alike, with many seeing it as a symbol of confidence and self-expression.

the sheer cape thing tho was def not for everyone but girl bye she slayed the red carpet and proved that fashion is all about expressing yourself 
what's awesome is that instead of taking the hate to heart, she just laughed it off and owned her look 
and btw who else can pull off a topless dress to death? 
it's all about expressing yourself and having fun with fashion, you feel? i love how she's owning her individuality and not caring what anyone else thinks. the fact that people are laughing more than getting mad at her is just a testament to her confidence and sense of humor 
. I'm also loving how she's taking the whole ordeal with a grain of salt, like she knows it's all just a joke. Kudos to her for owning the night and being unapologetically herself 
.
! Roan's confidence and self-assurance are super inspiring and it's no wonder she has such a strong following. And let's be real, 52 million views on Instagram is not bad for a single outfit lol 
. And let's be real, if she can pull off a sheer cape that quickly sheds 
. Roan's style is definitely on point, and it's awesome to see her breaking rules and pushing boundaries in a creative way 
.
I guess some people's weird is my weird 
.
, and who can blame the Grammys for wanting to celebrate that kind of self-expression? 
anyway i think what's great about chappell is that she's breaking all these rules and still getting love for it, like yay to female empowerment! 
love how she's owning it tho, like who needs boundaries when you can rock a sheer top and still slay the red carpet 
The fact that Roan is owning her look and not letting anyone else define what's "right" or "wrong" is actually kinda inspiring. And let's be real, if people are so worked up over a dress, maybe they're just projecting their own insecurities onto someone else. It's all about perspective, right?
