Chapel Lawn returned to the Grammy Awards yesterday following her win for Best New Artist last year.
She was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for “The Subway.”
She wore an eye-catching sheer look on the red carpet and two more outfits indoors.
Chapel Lawn made a bold statement with her red carpet look at last night’s Grammy Awards. The singer, who won the Best New Artist award in 2025, returned to the ceremony wearing a sheer custom Mugler dress accented with nipple rings.
Just before Lorne walked the carpet, makeup artist Andrew Darling revealed to ELLE that the star was wearing a prosthetic leg. “We’ve seen a lot of vapid, over-the-top looks for Chappelle, so I think we talked about doing something a little more sexy, a little more real, with fake tattoos, prosthetics, and dresses.” When asked about the prosthetics, Ms. Darling replied, “Oh, you know, nothing obvious, but it’s on her chest.”
The makeup artist described the entire look as a “carpet take on Mugler’s medieval fantasy. We wanted a sultry, smoky makeup look with a bit of ’90s influence, paying homage to the era in which this archival dress was created.”
At the awards ceremony, Roan was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for “The Subway.” The song is enhanced by a visually impressive live performance, making it one of Lorne’s most topical releases to date.
In addition to her nomination, Roan also made the following presentation during the show, in an alternate appearance.
She also showed off her third outfit in the crowd, which is her shortest of the night.
Fashion has continued to be a defining part of Roan’s public presence over the past year, especially on the red carpets of various fashion weeks around the world. Last fall in Paris, she attended multiple shows including Valentino and Vivienne Westwood, leaning into theatrical silhouettes and dramatic styling choices.
Chapel Lawn attended the Valentino show during Paris Fashion Week in March 2025.
On Thursday, she attended the premiere of A24’s The Moment in Los Angeles, where she continued to show off her bold, high-concept looks.
In a December 2025 interview with Perfect Magazine, Roan reflected on how she approaches her visual identity. “When I was a kid, I was really interested in makeup,” she said. “But I couldn’t wear the colors I wanted because I was too mature. So now I’m wearing the makeup I’ve always wanted to wear.”
