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 on the red carpet 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.
She added: Thank you for having me @grammys and those who voted for me!! Some fans praised Roan's style, describing her as a goddess and an icon in response to her own Insta post.
Referencing Justin Bieber's performance on Sunday wearing just boxer shorts, one wrote: If Justin can perform in his underwear without anyone batting an eyelid, you can rock pierced pasties diva. Misogyny. Others found her outfit was not to their taste, however, with some comments focusing on modesty.
Fashion writer Alex Fullerton mentioned the legacy of Mugler's designs, which often embraced transparency, citing Roan's ensemble as part of this tradition. Despite coming away empty-handed from the Grammys, Roan's outfit continues the trend of bold fashion statements at awards shows.
