The rust-red garment from the Mugler fashion house was a see-through, flowy fabric and was hung from Roan’s nipple piercings. The outfit was very open both in front and back. The semi-nudity caused problems for some American media, for example the film site Variety, which had to to censor pictures taken of the artist.

The outfit was completed by an ornate and delicate fake tattoo that hinted at Roan’s medieval-influenced tour.

Vogue according to the outfit reference Thierry Muglerin to the iconic fashion show of spring 1998, where Erica Vanbriel introduced a similar “nipple piercing dress”.

Roan has also dazzled with his outfits before. He has said that he was influenced by the style of drag artists and the 1980s punk fashion and fashion designer From Vivienne Westwood.

Chappell Roan was awarded the Grammy for Best New Artist last year. This year, he was nominated in two series but was left without an award.

Bad Bunny made history

Bad Bunny continued to make history, because in 2022 his album A Summer Without You was the first ever Spanish-language album to be nominated for album of the year.

Bad Bunny will perform next Sunday at the big American football event, the Super Bowl, which has garnered criticism Donald Trump’s from the administration.

The Grammys became a protest stage

Bad Bunny was also one of the many honorees who criticized the actions of the US Immigration Service ICE and the Trump administration.

Billie Eilish, who received the song of the year award, also called on everyone to fight and protest.

According to him, no one is an illegal immigrant on “stolen land”.

British soul-pop singer Olivia Dean used his acceptance speech for Best New Artist to honor his immigrant grandmother. “I’m here as the granddaughter of an immigrant. I’m a product of courage, and I think these people deserve respect.” Dean’s grandmother moved from Guyana to Britain when she was 18.

Numerous artists About Justin Bieber to Carole King and Joni Mitchell had pinned an anti-ICE pin on their chest. Billie Eilish and her brother also held the pin while receiving their award.
