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

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

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

During the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, Roan wore a medieval-inspired sheer flowing Y/Project gown, complete with a mint-green cape and thigh-high boots. She even carried a sword and had a carpet laid over the VMAs carpet, to appear as if she just stepped out of a medieval painting.

Roan’s VMAs experience wasn’t drama-free. Video captured someone saying, “Shut the f— up” in her direction. “You shut the f— up!” the “Casual” singer replied, pointing in the heckler’s direction.

After she backed away to have her outfit adjusted, Roan added, “Don’t. Not me, bitch!”

During her VMAs performance, Roan kept the medieval theme going, wearing a suit of armor as she performed “Good Luck, Babe!” Roan picked the armor as 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 set, which started with “Femininomenon.”

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

To her, “That means freedom in trans rights, that means freedom in women’s rights…and it especially means freedom for all oppressed people in occupied territories,” Roan said.

Roan’s looks are heavily inspired by drag culture. During a stop on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in June, Roan said horror movies, burlesque and theater also inspire her and her stylist Genesis Webb. (Roan ranked her look from the show as her eighth favorite of the year.)

“I love looking pretty and scary,” Roan told Fallon. “Or, like, pretty and tacky. Or just not pretty. I love that too.”

She also said that some of her looks don’t have the deeper meanings some fans search for.

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

Roan’s next big moment will come on Feb. 2 at the 67th annual Grammy Awards. She was nominated for six awards, including best new artist, album of the year for The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess and song of the year for “Good Luck, Babe!”
