Semi-naked in red carpet: Chappell Roan

Women go to ever more extremes to get attention, presumably because they think it makes them more attractive, all it does is attract the wrong kind of attention.

Will they ever learn.

I was quiet shocked that her single Pink Pony Club was nothing to do with equines…

Clearly got no mirrors in her home then!!!

She isn't the only one who appears semi-naked at events.
I wish they would have some self respect. They look tawdry and cheap dressing like that. They do not do young girls and women any favours. It sends the wrong message to certain types of men. For me, women leaving something to the imagination are far more alluring.

Truly dreadful on every level. Just how we’d want our daughters and granddaughters to dress for a special event. Makes me glad I live in a former mill town where we still ‘dress up’ not down for special events

These horror outfits (someone actually 'designed' them?) always remind me of the late Kenny Everett inventing a character called Cupid Stunt, a stereotypical empty-headed starlet, extremely badly dressed and her catchphrase was "it's all in the best possible taste!"

I personally think that the old stars of yesterday, the likes of Liz Taylor and Marilyn Monroe, looked way more stunning wearing amazing dresses on the red carpet, with never a boob or bottom on show. I think these awful outfits do absolutely nothing for the woman wearing them.

My mum used to say don’t show everything leave something to the imagination!

No, it doesn't shock me in the slightest, it's "showing off" for publicity, tawdry, and often not by those who conform to current ideas of naked beauty (which is silly anyway).

Oh, men show off their bits in publicity shots. Said bits may be covered but you can be sure if the said bits are substantial we'll know abut them.

Haha, no it's certainly not! The Grammys are always an excuse for someone to try to outdo the 'shocking' outfits from the last awards ceremony and garner the most publicity possible - so in that regard, she's certainly succeeded!

Truly dreadful.

But it's a topsy-turvy old world when someone who takes off their clothes so that others can stare at their body parts is paid vastly more money than someone who, for example, contributes to medical science, or has studied enough and is skilled enough to save lives via such advances in medical science.

Society values a Kardashian over an Einstein I'm afraid.

As you say, men, generally, don't appear showing off their bits - perhaps they want to be taken a tad more seriously for their talent?

Justin Bieber performed in his underpants at the same event.

What a getup!

I like the matching hair, the only good part.

Mermaid like?

Not sure what look she was aiming for, but it didn't make her look any more attractive.

she forgot her liberty bodice..catch a cold

I think Chappell is absolutely hideous at the best of times, both physically and mentally, but that monstrous thing she's ''wearing'' is grotesque.

If any of us here went out in public ''in'' that we'd be done for indecent exposure and cod knows what else!

Frankly, it reeks of ''common slut''.

It all smacks of desperation and an an awareness that, even though it is 2026, selling your sex is a way up the ladder for women still - how very sad.

I never understood why Bianca Censori (Kanye West's wife) wasn't done for indecent exposure given some of the 'outfits' she was (barely) wearing. Imagine popping out to Tesco in something like that!

Mael13 - HA HA HA! I loved Kenny, and his Cupid Stunt had me crying with laughter! ''I was proposed to by a queen, but that's another story!''

Yes, I can hear my Mum saying “you’ll catch your death going out dressed like that”. 😱

It is nudity.

For attention.

One question is[and there are others] is she happy about that or was she "forced".
Either way, she should not be allowed out like that in public.
I hope there are laws whereever she was.

David49, I'm female, and I fully agree with you!

We women, need women's rights to protect ourselves against predatory men, but those awful women like Roan are pushing us normal women back loads of years!

As a woman, it's her body, and she can wear what she likes, but there has to be a limit to what she can wear in public!

Without meaning to sound vile, we don't see men on the red carpet exposing their danglies; they'd be arrested if they did!

In a novel whose name I can’t remember, since I read it many decades ago, a mother said to her adult daughter, ‘Remember, (whatever her name was), women who need to use their bodies to create an impression are vulgarians of the cheapest sort.’

Or words to that effect. The mother IIRC was of the American East Coast aristocracy.

But that photo certainly brought the quote to mind!

This thread has most certainly raised a titter.

Once upon a time women who appeared nude or semi nude in nightclubs for men's gratification were considered exploited. Now parading near nakedness seems to have been reinvented as empowering. I just see it as exhibitionism. As others have stated there are loads of gorgeous evening dresses available why would anyone choose to go out with what looks like a bit of cheap material draped in such a contrived way to bare everything. Don't get me started on that nipple conraption it makes me shudder, painful surely

Bianca Censori has been paraded around by Kanye West in various states of undress for a couple of years leaving the question is she complicit or does she do it under duress, or are they so desperate for publicity at any cost?

In any event many venues they've been to around the world have found it distasteful as certainly patrons will have complained and made to feel uncomfortable.
