9 Chappell Roan Concert Outfit Ideas That Are Anything But Casual

Chappell Roan is your favorite artist's favorite artist... and your style icon's style icon. The unabashedly sapphic pop star has been on an exponential rise in recent months, thanks to her hit single "Good Luck, Babe!" as well as a string of unforgettable tour shows and festival sets promoting her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. But just as striking as her songwriting skills are the punchy looks Roan brings to the stage: Inspired by drag performers and LGBTQ+ culture at large, her costuming adds a theatrical, camp-forward edge to her pop-synth hits. From her Gov Ball Lady Liberty look to homages to Divine and Lady Miss Kier, Roan's style has earned comparisons to the likes of Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper—and she’s even encouraged concertgoers to join in with coordinating outfit themes for every stop on her tour. Ahead, we've rounded up nine outfit ideas to wear to a Chappell Roan concert, complete with product picks to shop.

"Pink Pony Club"

One of Roan's official Midwest Princess Tour themes, this outfit idea throws it back to the first glitter-dusted single from her debut album, which has slowly built its audience to become an iconic mainstream hit. The "Pink Pony Club" dress code mandates vivid pink fringe, high-drama blue eyeshadow, and a healthy sprinkling of rhinestones. It's Western chic meets disco glamour, and we trust that Dolly Parton would be proud.

"My Kink Is Karma"

This Chappell Roan track’s highly stylized music video is a must-watch ahead of concert stops that have this theme. When stepping into the crowd, you can expect an eccentric mix of vivid red outfits and circus-chic aesthetics. Don’t shy away from bold metallics, attention-grabbing textures, and anything that spells a complicated relationship with an ex.

I Heard You Like Magic

In her playful video for her unconventional but endlessly fun love anthem "Red Wine Supernova," Roan borrowed elements from a magician’s wardrobe, which happens to the perfect way to give your concert look a magical twist. Try mixing classic silhouettes, like a sparkly bodysuit and leather shorts, with on-the-nose accessories (tribute to the "wand and a rabbit" line, anyone?) and bold footwear.

Lady Liberty

Chappell Roan’s Gov Ball performance look is perhaps one of her most recognizable ensembles to date, as the moment when she emerged from a big apple dressed as Lady Liberty went instantly viral. Keep things a bit more mellow with an athletic skirt—lightweight pieces are key for navigating sweltering temps at crowded concerts—and a coordinating bustier. Green full-body paint is optional (though we can't wait to see the creative beauty looks fans will inevitably create in this realm).

"Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl"

This look is ethereal, magical, and a tad interstellar—an extraterrestrial dream girl('s dream girl), if you will. Try combining airy, feminine layers with futuristic accessories for the most on-theme approach.

Midwest Princess

Roan grew up in Missouri, and her debut album title throws it back to her small-town roots. A cropped camo top and denim skirt combo keeps things low-key (and easily re-wearable) for this official Midwest Princess Tour theme, while a tiara adds some always-appreciated sparkle. You might even consider bedazzling your own sash, if you’re feeling creative.

Casual Mermaid

Irony is key—especially if your favorite Midwest Princess track is "Casual," a ballad about an excruciating situationship. In the spirit of the song's mermaid music video that inspired another of the official tour themes, aquamarine shades of teal and sapphire are essential to nailing this look. A flowy, halter-neck top and mesh mini skirt keep things dreamy, while floral thigh-highs add a bit of unexpected mystique to the ensemble. 

Manhattan Romance

This dazzling, theatrical look pays homage to the cover art on one of Roan's early singles, “Naked in Manhattan.” To take the song's daring yet sweet energy into wearable concert territory, try pairing a voluminous mini dress with a vivid ostrich feather fan and sweet butterfly kitten heels.

"Good Luck, Babe!"

If you're not attached to any of Roan's established tour themes, show looks, or music video aesthetics, get creative in whatever look has you most ready to dance the night away. "Good Luck, Babe!" has a retro-futurist, Y2K-meets-80s vibe in both its sound and the playful visuals in the background during performances, so tap into that with key elements from Roan's tour wardrobe, like mini dresses and metallics, for an altogether unique concert ensemble.
