Los Angeles, February 2

Singer Chappell Roan delivered one of the most talked-about fashion moments of the 2026 Grammy Awards, redefining red carpet daring with a custom sheer Mugler gown during her second-ever appearance at the ceremony.

The pop star arrived as a nominee once again, with two major nods for her hit single 'The Subway.'

Roan, best known for chart-toppers such as 'Hot to Go', stepped onto the carpet in a striking maroon ensemble featuring an illusion bodice, with fabric draped from faux nipples adorned with nipple rings.

The sheer gown flowed into a dramatic train, revealing black undergarments beneath.

She later layered the look with a matching maroon cape and styled her long red hair forward.

According to People magazine, the outfit drew inspiration from Manfred Thierry Mugler's spring/summer 1998 'Jeu de Paume' couture collection, reinterpreted for Mugler's spring/summer 2026 line by creative director Miguel Castro Freitas.

The look marked a bolder turn from Roan's already fashion-forward 2025 Grammy debut.

At the 2026 Grammys, Roan received nominations for Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance, both for 'The Subway', released in late July.

Kendrick Lamar with SZA took home Record Of the Year for 'Luther', while Lola Young bagged Best Pop Solo Performance for 'Messy'.

Fashion is subjective, but this feels like it's trying too hard to shock. The focus should be on the music and the nominations, not just the outfit. Her song 'The Subway' is great though!

Wow, that's a bold statement! Mugler's designs are always avant-garde. It's interesting to see Western pop stars push boundaries in a way that's very different from our Indian celebrities. The maroon colour is stunning.

As a designer myself, I appreciate the craftsmanship and the reference to the 1998 collection. It's high fashion, not meant for everyday wear. But honestly, my mum would have a heart attack if she saw this on TV! 🤯

Different cultures, different norms. In India, we value modesty in a different way, but I don't think we should judge. She's an artist on a global platform. Congrats to her on the nominations!

The article says it's a "bolder turn" from last year. Seems like the strategy is to get people talking with the outfit when you don't win the award. Smart PR, maybe? Kendrick and SZA deserved that Record of the Year win though.
