Chappell Roan brings fans 'to their knees' in leather thong and fishnets

Chappell Roan recently ditched her usual flamboyant outfits for an all-leather look – and it brought her fans to their "knees."

The "Pink Pony Club" singer, 28, made a surprise appearance at Charli XCX's show at the Forum in LA last weekend, and not only did she showcase a new look, but she transformed her signature curly red locks, too.

Chappell gave fans a closer look at her daring outfit on Instagram, showing off her toned physique in a black leather thong, matching bra and fishnet tights.

Her curly hair was worn straight with curtain bangs and dyed black strands framing either side of her face.

Adding splashes of color, Chappell rocked a dramatic eye look using pinks, purples, and greens, with exaggerated lashes.

Her vampy look won rave reviews from her followers, who were blown away not only by her outfit, but by her hair and makeup too.

"Well, she looks insanely gorgeous," one commented. A second said: "Genuinely fell to my knees." 

A third added: "This hair is everything omfg." A fourth gushed: "This is one of your most insane looks, oh my GODDDDD HOT."

Grammys controversy

This isn't the first time Chappell has sparked a big reaction with her outfit choice. At the Grammys in February, she went viral after she rocked up in a custom sheer burgundy dress that was held up by nipple piercings.

Chappell's Mugler gown draped from faux nipple rings and cascaded down her body into a dramatic train, showing off her bare skin and temporary tattoos, including a pony on her chest and a piece resembling lace on her back.

She styled the designer dress over black underwear and accessorised with a pair of strappy block heels and a dazzling choker necklace. 

The dress caused a stir on social media, with many fashion fans defending the look, while others called it "illegal."

Chappell responded to the furore surrounding her Grammys look – and she wasn't bothered by the criticism one bit.

"Giggling because I don't even think this is THAT outrageous of an outfit," she wrote alongside several photos of the custom Mugler dress.

"The look's actually so awesome and weird. I recommend just exercising your free will it's really fun and silly. Thank you for having me @grammys and those who voted for me!!" she added.

The divisive dress in question was a version of one that featured in Mugler's spring 2026 show, the first from creative director Miguel Castro Freitas. 

The dress took inspiration from Thierry Mugler's SS98 collection, which had a similar nipple piercing design float down the catwalk. Though on this occasion, the silk black fabric was actually fixed to the model's real piercings.
