Pop artist Chappell Roan expresses her views on the reactions to her provocative Grammy outfit, reinforcing themes of self-expression and individualism.

Chappell Roan has responded lightheartedly to the buzz surrounding her revealing outfit at the Grammy Awards, stating that she doesn't find it to be 'that outrageous.' The pop star showcased a daring Mugler ensemble featuring a red chiffon cape and a matching draped dress held by nipple rings. While some fans praised her bold style, others criticized it, leading to discussions about fashion norms and gender double standards. Roan remains unbothered, encouraging self-expression and fun.

Chappell Roan has laughed off the reaction to the revealing outfit she wore on the Grammy Awards red carpet on Sunday. The US pop star removed her red chiffon cape to reveal a matching draped dress hung from nipple rings, leaving virtually all of her top half exposed. The Mugler ensemble was one of the most talked-about outfits at this year's ceremony.

Giggling because I don't even think this is THAT outrageous of an outfit, the star posted on Instagram. The look's actually so awesome and weird. I recommend just exercising your free will it's really fun and silly :D.

Some fans praised Roan's style, describing her as a goddess and an icon in response to her own post, while others found her outfit to be excessive. Referencing Justin Bieber's performance in just boxer shorts, one wrote: If Justin can perform in his underwear without anyone batting an eyelid, you can rock pierced pasties diva. Misogyny.

Despite mixed reactions, fashion expert Alex Fullerton noted that Roan was honoring Mugler's legacy of working with transparent fashion. Roan was nominated for two Grammys that night but left empty-handed.

Known for her hits like Pink Pony Club and Good Luck, Babe!, Chappell said in a previous interview that her alter-ego allows her to be rebellious and express her more extravagant side without exhaustion.
