Chappell Roan Debuts Shocking New Look
Chappell Roan won Best New Artist at the MTV Music Video Awards in 2024, but she wasn’t a new artist at all. In fact, she’d been honing her craft for nearly a decade. She released her first EP, School Nights, in 2017. It was a failure and she was dropped by her record label. However, she never gave up her dream.
She had minor success with her 2023 albumThe Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.But her career got a huge boost when she opened for Olivia Rodrigo on the GUTSworld tour. Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” topped the airplay charts.
Now, the singers reunited for Olivia Rodrigo’s inaugural Daisy Chain Festival. The festival was inspired by Sarah McLachlan’s Lilith Fair festival and featured a lineup of all-female artists. Chappell Roan performed some of her biggest hits, including “HOT TO GO!” and “Femininomenon.”
The singer wore a purple crop top, matching mini-skirt and go-go boots for the performance. The stunning look was inspired by the 1997 sci-fi hit movie The Fifth Element. Chappell Roan completed the look with a sharp ginger bob. It was a far cry from her usual flowing red locks.
