Musicisan Chappell Roan addressed the online storm around her ‘topless’ red carpet appearance at the 2026 Grammy Awards with a mix of humour and defiance, saying she was ‘giggling’ at the reaction to what quickly became one of the night’s most talked-about looks.
The Best New Artist winner sparked intense debate after arriving at music’s biggest night in a sheer red Mugler dress.
When Roan removed its flowing cape, it revealed that the bodice fabric was attached to two nipple rings, leaving her chest and back fully exposed.
The look drew both praise and criticism across social media platforms.
Responding to the chatter, the 27-year-old singer shared her thoughts on Instagram.
‘Giggling because I don’t even think this is THAT outrageous of an outfit,’ she wrote, adding, ‘The look’s actually so awesome and weird. I recommend just exercising your free will it’s really fun and silly.’ She added a note of gratitude to the Recording Academy and voters, thanking the Grammys for having her. Fellow nominee Sabrina Carpenter even joked that photographers seemed calmer than usual. (ANI)
