"At the Grammy Awards Sunday night, Chappell Roan took the red-carpet trend of naked dressing by female celebrities to a new level by wearing a sheer, burgundy chiffon slip dress that effectively left her topless, with a lower half that appeared to hang from piercings in each of her nipples. When the singer first arrived on the red carpet, she was covered in a matching opaque cape, according to the New York Times."
"Vanity Fair reported that Roan nominated for record of the year and best pop solo performance has never shied away from a sartorial challenge. But with her red-carpet slip dress, the singer didn't appear to go to the extremes that Mugler expected of his models in 1998. Vanity Fair said it appeared that prosthetics had been applied to Roan's chest so that her nipples were not on display, or forced to hold up the chiffon fabric, however feather-light it might be."
Chappell Roan attended the Grammys wearing a sheer burgundy chiffon slip dress that left her effectively topless, with the lower half appearing to hang from nipple piercings. She initially wore an opaque matching cape which she later removed, unveiling the provocative gown. The frock is a contemporary re-creation of a 1998 Manfred Thierry Mugler haute couture design that originally hung from models' real nipple rings. Photographs suggested prosthetic nipples had been applied to Roan's chest, rather than exposing her natural nipples. The look revived debate over Mugler's controversial nipple-ring concept and echoed recent revivals and backlash around the design.
