Chappell Roan Goes Without a Top at Grammys, Igniting Firestorm of Reactions

Chappell Roan inspired a ton of social media reactions when she arrived to the 2026 Grammy awards on Sunday.

Chappell (real name Kayleigh Amstutz) showed up to the red carpet at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, she was wearing a sheer red skirt and shawl. She soon removed the shawl, revealing a totally topless look — with a twist.

The “Pink Pony Club” vocalist’s skirt was attached to her chest via nipple rings. However, using a flesh-tone covering and makeup, her nipples were not visible. It was a anatomy-bending look that caused made many to double-take.

Specifics on who designed the look and worked on the skin-tone layer — which also included tattoo-like designs — is not available as of press time. Music fans on X and Instagram were taken aback by the look, debating its style merits and the morals of wearing a topless look to such a high-profile event. Some were just in awe of the logistics of wearing such an outfit — and others drew comparisons to a Game of Thrones character.
