Chappell Roan returned to the Grammy Awards this year with nominations for Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year.
Even though she went home empty-handed, she emerged as one of the night’s biggest talking points for her outfit choice.
The Hot to Go performer showed up in a Mugler dress, with a skin-tone bodice flaunting her temporary body art.
The outfit included fabric that hung from her faux n**ple piercings and fell all the way down to her heels.

“I love her, but this is too much. Is she gonna get banned?” a concerned fan commented on her outfit.
Critics were harsher with their comments, saying: “Disgusting. Absolutely low class.”
“Award shows need a dress code. We don’t need to see your b**bs, ladies!” another said.
“What outfit?” one asked. “There was barely any fabric on her lmao, how embarrassing.”

After her outfit dominated Grammy conversations, Chappell shared on social media and called her look “awesome” and “weird.”
She went on to express gratitude for attending the 2026 Grammys, a year after winning the Best New Artist award in 2025.
“Giggling because I don’t even think this is THAT outrageous of an outfit,” she wrote on social media.

During the Grammys, the Casual singer’s presence in front of paparazzi was praised by fellow nominee Sabrina Carpenter, who also had her chance to pose for red carpet photographers at the 2026 Grammys.
Sabrina gave a shoutout to Chappell for seemingly taming red carpet photographers through her past confrontations with them.

“Chappell really started a movement,” she quipped. “She really whipped them into shape.”

Chappell has built a reputation for putting photographers in their place.
The Pink Pony Club singer once scolded a photographer who allegedly told her to “Shut the f*** up!” at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.
“You shut the f*** up!” she yelled back, before firmly saying, “No. Not me, b****.”

The singer later told ET that such instances were “quite overwhelming and quite scary.”
“For someone who gets a lot of anxiety around people yelling at you, the carpet is horrifying and I yelled back. You don’t get to yell at me like that,” she explained.

The same year, she chided a photographer at the premiere of the Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour concert film for allegedly being “so disrespectful” to her at the Grammys earlier.
“You yelled at me at the Grammy party. Yes, I remember,” she said, talking directly at the photographer in the paparazzi section. “You were so rude to me. And I deserve an apology for that. You need to apologize to me.”

At the 2026 Grammy Awards on Sunday, Chappell spoke to E! News’ Zuri Hall and admitted that the “hardest” part of such events was posing on the red carpet.
“I’m not performing this year,” she told Zuri, “so this is a piece of cake.”
She went on to explain that it was “overstimulating” to be standing on the red carpet and posing before a sea of photographers.

“People are just filming you, and you don’t know what they’re doing with it, so, it’s kind of crazy!” she added.
When Zuri asked what she hoped people meant when they say the Good Luck, Babe singer has “got a way,” she said: “That I do it my own way. Which is kind of my whole vibe. I like breaking the mold, so I would think that. Hopefully that!”
“Her music is about s** and adult relationships,” one netizen commented online, “why would she want to be a role model for children”
