Chapel Lawn is “giggles” at all the comments about her instantly iconic look at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
The 27-year-old Hot to Go performer made a memorable entrance at this year’s ceremony, hitting the red carpet in a Mugler trompe l’oeil dress with a skin-tone bodice, faux nipple piercings and intricate tattoos. The custom piece, featuring a sheer burgundy fabric draped from the faux earrings to the floor and a matching cape, was inspired by the runway designs from Thierry Mugler’s spring 1998 couture collection, Jeu de Paume.
After Roanne’s arrival, the dress quickly became one of the biggest talking points of this year’s red carpets and ceremonies. But Roan is unfazed by the fuss.
The Grammy winner posted a photo of her outfit on Instagram in a Carousel post on Monday, Feb. 2, and shared, “I laughed because I didn’t think this was that outrageous of an outfit.”

Roan continued, “This look is really amazing and weird,” adding, “I encourage you to exercise your free will. It’s really fun and silly 😀 Thank you to everyone who invited me to the Grammys and everyone who voted for me!!”
Roan completed her Grammys look, which was curated by her longtime stylist Genesis Webb, with gold fine jewelry by Bucciarati.

Roan didn’t win the Grammy Award he was nominated for this year for “The Subway,” but he did win the Best New Artist award last year. During his acceptance speech, Roan defended the artists, telling the room, “Labells, we understood you, but do you understand us?”
“I told myself that if I were to win a Grammy and stand here in front of some of the most powerful people in the music industry, I would demand that labels in an industry that make millions of dollars off artists, especially those in the developing world, provide a living wage and health care,” Roan said in a speech, adding, “Record labels need to treat artists as valued employees with living wages, health insurance, and protections.”
