Chappell Roan ranks her “most iconic” looks of 2024

Chappell Roan had a standout 2024 with so many unique looks on the red carpet and stage that the singer decided to evaluate her own styles to say goodbye to her epic year.

On Monday, December 30, Roan, 26, shared an Instagram gallery post featuring 10 of her favorite looks from the past 12 months. “It’s my OPINION,” she captioned the post, adding, “Why yes, I consider myself iconic.”

Roan’s fourth favorite look was one that left her “triggered,” she wrote about the photo — but probably not because of what she wore.

During the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, Roan wore a medieval-inspired sheer flowy dress by Y/Project, complete with a mint green cape and thigh-high boots. She even carried a sword and had a rug placed over the VMAs carpet to give the impression that she had just stepped out of a medieval painting.

Roan’s VMAs experience wasn’t without drama. The video shows someone saying “shut up” in her direction. “Shut up!” the “Casual” singer replied, pointing in the direction of the heckler.

After stepping away to have her outfit fitted, Roan added: “Don’t do that. Not me, bitch!”

During her VMAs performance, Roan kept with the medieval theme and wore armor as she sang “Good Luck, Babe!” Roan voted the armor her sixth favorite look of 2024.

Roan’s favorite look of 2024 was the Statue of Liberty-inspired outfit she wore to the 2024 Governors Ball. The singer wore green body paint, a crown headpiece, a tube top and a skirt for her performance, which began with “Femininomenon.”

During the show, Roan told her fans that she was in “drag” because Lady Liberty was the “greatest queen of them all.” She then quoted part of the poem engraved on the Statue of Liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

For them, “that means freedom in terms of trans rights, that means freedom in terms of women’s rights… and it especially means freedom for all oppressed people in occupied territories,” Roan said.

“I just think it’s just not serious,” she said in June. “I love that fans give things such deep meanings and I’m like, ‘I don’t know, I thought I looked hot.’ I don’t know if it’s more than that.
