Pop sensation Chappell Roan responds to the outcry over her revealing Grammy Awards outfit, claiming it isn't as outrageous as critics suggest. The artist embraces her unique style and sparks debates on body positivity in fashion.

Chappell Roan stirred up conversation on the Grammys red carpet with her daring outfit, which featured a chiffon cape and a dress suspended from nipple rings. While some hailed her look as iconic, others criticized it. In an Instagram post, Roan described her outfit as 'awesome and weird,' urging fans to embrace their individuality. The discussion around her outfit reflects the ongoing conversation about gender norms in fashion, with comparisons drawn to other celebrities’ more revealing styles.

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!!

While some fans praised Roan's style, others found her outfit was not to their taste. One fan pointed out the double standard in fashion, referencing Justin Bieber's performance in boxer shorts.

Fashion expert Alex Fullerton commented on Roan's look, noting that it honors the legacy of the designer Mugler, known for working with transparency and bare breasts. But at the end of the day... she's got them out! he added.

Roan was nominated for two Grammys on Sunday, but didn't take home an award. Known for her individual style and popular tracks like Pink Pony Club, Roan embodies a rebellious persona that pushes fashion norms.
