After releasing a cover of "Die Young" on YouTube, Chappell Roan was signed by Atlantic Records in 2017, and shortly after, released her first single, "Good Hurt." The singer subsequently toured with musicians like Vance Joy and Declan McKenna, opening shows on their nationwide tours. Chappell Roan released "Pink Pony Club" in 2020 after collaborating with producer Dan Nigro, and while the '80s synth anthem was well-reviewed, the song was deemed unprofitable by Atlantic, who promptly dropped the signer from the label the same year. In the week that she lost her label contract, the singer also separated from her partner of four years and was forced to leave Los Angeles and move back to Missouri, where she was born, to support herself while working on her music independently.
In 2022, she moved back to Los Angeles, working numerous odd jobs to support herself, and began collaborating with Nigro again. "Naked in Manhattan," "Femininomenon," and "Casual" weee the fruits of their labor. In 2023, Chappell Roan went on tour after signing under Island Records, and was recognized by several critics for her unique sound and gripping charisma. "If you’ve been to enough concerts, there’s a feeling you recognize when a new-ish artist’s career is about to blast off — when the audience isn’t just singing along with the hit but with nearly every song, half of them with hands over hearts, many dressed in the artist’s merch or artist-identifying outfits, and at least a few singing emphatically, with tears and/or mascara running," said a critic for Variety, who subsequently compared Chappell Roan to the likes to Billie Eilish, Lorde, and The Killers in their early days.
2024 is a huge turning point in the young artist's career, given that she's snagged a coveted spot opening for one of the biggest pop stars of the era. Next, she is set to perform at Coachella in just a few short weeks.

Guts World Tour
For the Guts World Tour, Chappell Roan swapped out her signature dramatic blue eyeshadow for a striking shade of purple. Embracing Olivia Rodrigo's iconic color palette, Roan donned a head-to-toe monochromatic purple ensemble, complete with a cowboy hat perfectly coordinating with the rest of her outfit.
Dreamy Green
Unafraid to experiment with various color schemes, Roan donned an electric green eyeshadow moment for the Guts World Tour Toronto show. It's quite the bold choice, but if there's one thing we know about Roan, it's that she can make any daring look utterly captivating.
"Kaleidoscope" Official Live Performance
For her live performance of "Kaleidoscope," Chappell Roan donned a shimmery, rhinestone-adorned leotard, a copious amount of body glitter, and oversized star hair clips, which rest in the singer's long curly hair. To match the tone of the steady, emotional ballad, she wears a glittery lavender eye shadow look and a scaled-back style of her typical base makeup, effortlessly toeing the line between being true to herself through her makeup and accurately conveying the mood of the song through her glam, resulting in an ethereal, glowy look that suits her perfectly.
"Red Wine Supernova" Cover
For the cover of "Red Wine Supernova," Chappell Roan goes for campy magician chic, sporting a black sequined leotard, a top hat, and lustrous golden accessories, referencing the magic tricks mentioned in the song.
"Casual" Music Video
For her pared-back, Ariel-esque look in the "Casual" music, Chappell Roan departs from her typical performing persona. Wearing a cozy, crocheted cardigan and a fresh, natural face of makeup, the singer takes on the persona of a girl in love, and through her beauty look and styling, embodies the sense of raw, honest affection and emotion that bleeds through in the lyrics of the song.
Chappell Roan's Blue Eyeshadow
One of her signature looks, dramatic blue eyeshadow has become synonymous with the singer, who has sported the look on numerous occasions, from the cover of her sophomore album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwestern Princess, to concert looks like this one. Typically, Chappell Roan opts for drama, extravagance, and plenty of glitter in her eye looks, often taking her blue eyeshadow beyond the realm of Princess Diana's simple, yet iconic robin's egg blue look to the razor-sharp cut crease lid look debuted during her NPR Tiny Desk Concert in March 2024.
Hannah Montana-Inspired Look
Chappell Roan has cited Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana as one of her biggest inspirations as a child, revealing that she has loved the singer since fourth grade when she saw Miley Cyrus open for the Jonas Brothers. The "Red Wine Supernova" singer paid homage to Cyrus in concert by dressing up as Hannah Montana, rocking a bubblegum pink sequined mini dress, sparkly gogo boots, and a long blonde wig. "I honor my younger self by becoming the person I wished to be when I was little," the singer said in an Instagram post in relation to her Hannah Montana-inspired look.
"Hot To Go" Music Video
Chappell Roan debuted this playful, sporty outfit during her "Hot To Go" music video. Always one to accompany her on-theme outfits with a matching makeup look, the singer complimented the vibrant '80s look with a generous, sweeping application of purple eyeshadow, a bright red lip look, and her quintessential voluminous copper curls.
Angelic Monochrome
In a departure from her typical repertoire of vibrant, colorful looks, here, Chappell Roan opts for a white satin body suit—a look that she completes with flouncy sheer sleeves, pearl accessories and beading, an opalescent sequined bodice layered over the leotard, and paper-white lace tights. In terms of beauty, the singer wears her signature white foundation makeup, a bold rouge across her cheekbones, a lined red lip, and a full crease eyeshadow look in striking blue, accompanied by a set of voluminous lashes to give the singer a doll eye effect.
Pink Cowgirl
Although the country western style is enjoying a full-on renaissance right now—thanks Beyoncé!—Chappell Roan fans know that the Midwestern Princess has been experimenting with the cowgirl style for a while now, as evidenced in this eye-catching blue and pink look. In true Chappell fashion, she wears rhinestones, glitter, sequins, and shimmery fringe, and then elevates it beyond, adding details like shiny appliques, a glistening belt, and pearlescent beading, resulting in an utterly captivating, ultra-colorful cowboy look. To top it all off, Chappell Roan wears her long, curly hair down and flaunts a bold pink lip, complete with a matching eyeshadow look.
Barbie Pink Blush
In this ultra-bold makeup look, Chappell Roan sports a twist on her typical makeup look. Baring white foundation and a cherry-red lip look, the singer completes her beauty routine with a vibrant violet eyeshadow look, accented by a touch of sky blue pigment in the center of the eyelid, and a sweeping application of bright fuschia blush across her cheekbones.
