Did anyone watch the C5 programme on CECOT with Richard Madeley
At the risk of sounding a total prude, I was shocked at seeing singer Chappell Roan on the Grammy’s red carpet, with her flimsy dress (if you can call it that) attached to her by nipple clamps, revealing her boobs in all their glory. Whatever next?! There have even been totally transparent dresses on the red carpet and bottom cleavage too! I’m almost laughing as I type this, I don’t know why, but I don’t think it’s acceptable, it’s just unbelievable. Will it soon be ok to reveal even more of the human body in public? A few years ago, this would never have been permissible. I sound like Mary Whitehouse, I realise, but I just find it incredible. Not only is it attention-seeking of the the highest order, but isn’t it also indecent exposure? Have I missed something? How come this is ok? The photo of her has been pixelated over the nipple area, by the way, as you can probably tell.

how did anyone see her, they dress like that but we are not supposed to look, me too movement
What got me was seeing a clip of her being interviewed looking miserable saying that this is the hardest part for me , people behind me and all around .Implying that she found all the people and attention difficult.Well put some clothes love !! I actually thought it looked ridiculous. Contrast with Julia Roberts, for example at a recent awards ceremony in an elegant black dress looking radiant and classy.What next?
That lovely fabric looks amazing with her hair colour.
She could have looked like a goddess.
It's always disappointing when women who have the money, connections and physicallity to look amazing, chose to shock rather than shine.

*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.
Yes, I'm aware he did. Which is why I said, "generally"...
I was in fact going to mention Bieber, however I knew someone else would, but generally, the point still stands.
... and I don't take him seriously anyway - well, not as seriously as he seems to take himself.
Its Grok and here are the details

Except give her the publicity she craves, but that is very much a double edged sword, and I take the point about women who have been forced to dress like that in the past.
However...bear in mind we live in an age where AI is being used (there is a current row around Elon Musk and a platform called Grog (sp) connected with X which can take a persons photos and make them naked to a pornographic extent. it really is very complicated.
Speaking from the design point of view it just looks really bad. A bit of see through fabric, suspended from the nipples, and left to sag round the rest of her body is just an unflattering mess. It does nothing for her at all.
Don’t suppose I’ll bother. Just thought someone might know.

I don’t know who either of those women are?
Is the second one from the Fox acting family? Some of them are a bit odd.
Google them...
I-i-i-i-t- show business! Chapel Hat Pegs comes to mind……I don’t know why😂
by the way honeyrose or anyone interested Look up Pink Pony Club on YouTube- it's a song by Chappell Roan. Quite catchy actually.
She might have looked better wrapped IN the red carpet! 


As in the thread title!
( Semi-naked in red carpet: Chappell Roan )

Yes, TerriBull I immediately thought the same.
I think what is particularly horrible about this particular garb it reminded me of artists impressions of women being paraded semi naked at slave markets.
Whatever happened to no visible panty line ?

There will still be women around the world who are in that situation. I think there's always the annoyance that many of us feel when we see for example this Chappell Roan image of "not only are you objectifying yourself but women per se"
It's my understanding (reading online) that in fact the dress incorporated "prosthetic" parts - so they weren't actually her "bits"....
Not that it makes much difference?

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!
Men bare their chests all the time, why is it vulgar for women to do it. She wasn't displaying her female equivalent of "danglies".
Women can wear what they want, they will be judged accordingly by others but make no mistake they will be judged.
Women are the harshest judges of other women, men either lust after them or ridicule them, but they are your daughters if thats the way their mothers bring them up its not surprising
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.
This thread has most certainly raised a titter.
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!

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.
