Chappell Roan Dismisses Backlash to Revealing Grammys Gown

Her post cast the Mugler-referencing design as playful free expression.

Overview

  • Roan shared Instagram photos of the look and wrote she was “giggling” at the uproar, urging followers to “exercise your free will.”
  • On the red carpet she removed a shawl to reveal a sheer burgundy gown that appeared to hang from nipple piercings.
  • The design drew on Mugler’s 1998 pierced‑nipple couture precedent, and she later changed into Rodarte and Dilara Findikoglu pieces during the show.
  • Reaction on social media remained split, with praise from fans and sharp criticism from detractors.
  • She was nominated for record of the year and best pop solo performance for The Subway but left without a win, later saying the carpet felt “a bit overstimulated.”
