Chappell Roan has made a name for herself not only with her music but also with her unique fashion choices. From wearing a Y/Project red carpet ensemble to a Joan of Arc performance drag, Roan is not afraid to push the boundaries when it comes to her wardrobe. Her recent outfit change into sheer, chained armor by Rabanne at the MTV VMAs further solidified her reputation as a trendsetter. The medieval theme of her looks hints at deeper meanings of protection and defense, which align with her recent comments on privacy and fame.
Roan has openly credited drag as a major inspiration for her aesthetic. In her acceptance speech for winning Best New Artist, she dedicated her award to all the drag artists who inspire her, as well as to queer and trans people who fuel pop culture. It is no surprise then that many drag artists were present at the awards show to support Roan. Sasha Colby, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15, introduced Roan before her performance, while Plane Jane, a contestant from season 16, paid homage to Roan with her outfit choice.
In the last few months, Roan has been on a meteoric rise in the music industry. Her single “Good Luck, Babe!” has been climbing the charts on the Billboard Hot 100, and her concerts have been drawing record-breaking crowds. Winning the Best New Artist award at the MTV VMAs tonight is just another milestone in her journey to stardom. Roan’s success is a testament to her talent and perseverance in an industry that can be challenging to break into.
Chappell Roan is not just a talented musician, but also a fashion icon and a trailblazer in the pop music scene.
