Chappell Roan Dares to Bare at Grammys 2026

Chappell Roan, 27, captured attention at the Grammys 2026 red carpet with a daring topless ensemble. She chose a sheer burgundy mesh gown that was designed to reveal her nipple piercings. Roan initially used a shawl for coverage but removed it while posing for the cameras, showcasing her bold fashion choice. The dress featured a sweeping back and a floor-length skirt, paired with a gold choker and black heels. This appearance comes after Roan's history of confrontations with photographers at previous events like the 2024 MTV VMAs and the premiere of Olivia Rodrigo: Guts World Tour.

Security measures were reportedly in place to ensure a smooth red carpet experience for Roan at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in November. An attendant cautioned photographers to be respectful, a tactic that appeared to be successful as Roan was met with an unusually calm reception. The singer, nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year, admitted to feeling "overstimulated" by the attention but stated she was "feeling good" and "not performing" at this year's ceremony, making it less stressful for her.
