Chappell Roan ranks her most iconic looks of the past year

You can wear a hundred looks on stage — but only 10 can make Chappell Roan's year-end ranking.

The "Red Wine Supernova" singer has posted a no-frills countdown of her own favorite ensembles from the year on her Instagram. "It's my OPINION!!!!!," she captioned the carousel of couture costumes, adding, "why yes, I do consider myself to be iconique."

Two of Roan's first late-night appearances, on Late Night with Stephen Colbert in February and on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, made the cut. She donned a Marie Antoinette (by way of Madonna's 1984 VMA performance) inspired outfit for the former, and for Fallon, an avant-garde, icy-white frock made of feathers.

There was also the snout-nosed medieval dowager look from the Grammys after party, which became the cover art for her breakthrough single "Good Luck, Babe!" and the gauzy mauve dress she wore on the VMAs red carpet where she snapped at an impertinent photographer.

But the lion's share of looks came from live performances, from Lollapalooza, to Coachella, to her No. 1 look of the year, according to Roan: her all-green statue of liberty-chic for the Governor's Ball in June. The sleek number consisted of a skirt of studded strips, tight green bandage top, and spiky visor. The ensemble had a humorous and effortless elegance, but Roan took to the official Governor's Ball TikTok moments after leaving the stage to share that her "wig almost fell off" and that she had "20 wardrobe malfunctions."

The year was massive for the singer-songwriter born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz. Though she's been posting renditions of her original songs on YouTube since 2013, Roan's career reached terminal velocity when her album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, released in September 2023, began to go viral single by single in the spring of 2024.

With a wealth of TV appearances, red carpets, and festival headliner spots before her, the world became Roan's catwalk, as she proved herself one of pop music's most idiosyncratic sartorialists.

Roan donned enough memorable outfits to rank a top 25, even a top 50. Some omissions were surprising enough to fans that a chorus of questions has begun to ring through the Instagram posts comments.

The multitude of ensembles Roan put together for her Saturday Night Live stint in November seemed to many to be a shoo-in for the ranking, especially the elaborate fin-de-siècle-style showgirl outfit she wore in a teaser for the episode with Ego Nwodim and host John Mulaney.

Roan was honored last month by Elton John as one of Entertainment Weekly's Entertainers of the Year. John commended her as "an artist who possesses the rare combination of raw talent, fearless creativity, and an unwavering dedication" with a "voice for the future."
