Chappell Roan Defends Her Bold Outfit
On February 2, 2026, Chappell Roan ended up attracting as much attention as the Grammy winners themselves, as well as various political statements made at the event. She later shared that she didn't anticipate her outfit becoming such a major talking point.
Taking to Instagram, she defended her fashion choice and explained her thinking behind it. "Giggling because I don't even think this is THAT outrageous of an outfit," she wrote.
She added that the look was "so awesome and weird," emphasising that she wore it with confidence and joy. "I recommend just exercising your free will - it's really fun and silly," the Good Luck, Babe! singer added.
Roan also thanked the Grammys for inviting her and expressed gratitude to everyone who supported her.

Her back featured temporary tattoo art created by Jenny, and she completed her appearance with bold accessories, including cherry‑toned heels and gold jewellery. Wearing her curly red hair loose, she drew comparisons to Melisandre, the Red Priestess from Game of Thrones.
