Grammy Awards 2026: Chappell Roan's Daring Red Carpet Look Steals The Show

Chappell Roan certainly made a big impression on the red carpet as she made her way into this year’s Grammy Awards.

The Good Luck, Babe! singer was initially pictured making her way into the event in a sheer maroon dress with a matching cape.

However, after taking off her outer layer, it emerged that Chappell’s dress was held up by what appeared to be nipple piercings.

Chappell’s daring look also allowed her to show off some intricate body art, including what looked to be an expansive henna tattoo on her back, and other similar designs across her chest and stomach.

The US singer-songwriter picked up her first ever Grammy during last year’s ceremony, triumphing in the highly competitive Best New Artist category, and returned on Sunday night to present the same award to this year’s recipient.

During her speech last year, Chappell made headlines when she took the opportunity to put industry executives on blast for not doing enough to support burgeoning new artists, questioning: “Labels…we got you. Do you got us?”

While admittedly not everyone in the music biz was immediately welcoming of Chappell’s words, a ripple effect was already being felt mere days after she took to the stage during the 2025 Grammys.

Chappell went into this year’s event with an additional two Grammy nominations to her name, in the Record Of The Year and Best Pop Solo Performance categories, for her hit song The Subway, which topped the UK singles chart upon its release last year.
