POSTED BY VALENTINA HENRIQUES

If you haven't heard of Chappell Roan yet, you must be off social media, because she is everywhere! This rising pop queen is offering us looks that are just as stunning as her Cyndi Lauper-esque vocals. Chappell Roan, born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, is not only causing a pop in the music scene she is also a true Gen Z style icon. 

Chappell's style is as if your really cool granny took her closet to get a glow-up and hit the runway at a futuristic fashion show.  Sounds cool? Well, that’s her.

Think old thrift store goes high-fashion. A lot of classic vintage American pieces, Western influences, and a lot of queerness.  She has a talent for pairing those vintage pieces with edgy, modern accessories to achieve a look that's both nostalgic and contemporary at the same time. We're talking 80s prom queen, 70s disco doll, and a hint of 2000s boldness paired with her trademark flamboyant make-up and bouncy fiery hair.

Let's talk about the hair. The daring and distinctive color of Chappell Roan's hair is a true reflection of her on-stage persona. Her curls are a rich, vibrant shade stand-out red. It is as if she is constantly telling us: “Why try to blend in when you can stand out?” And we couldn't agree more!

In terms of her makeup, Chappell's face is a true creative canvas. She wears it all, ranging from vibrant winged eyeliner to white face paint, drag-inspired looks, and not to mention her fondness for a pop of color on her lips - from reds to pinks and to lipstick smudges all over her teeth. Playing with what makeup is „supposed to look like“ isn't something she's afraid to do, and we love her for that!

So, you may be wondering, where does Chappell get her inspiration from? 

She is reportedly a big fan of all things theatrical. You can find heavy theatrical inspiration in her music and visuals.  When it comes to her persona, you can spot some of David Bowie's glam, Stevie Nicks' boho style, and some of Madonna's edginess. 

Roan’s style is a celebration of her individuality and self-expression. Being living proof that fashion is about having fun, being daring and, above all, being yourself. 

Unleash your inner Chappell Roan. Browse through vintage stores, wear bolder makeup, and remember that standing out is way better than blending in!
