Chappell Roan is a fashion force to be reckoned with when it comes to style. Just look at her Paris Fashion Week appearance at the Acne Studios runway show on March 4th. The "Good Luck, Babe!" singer created an illusion of a much shorter haircut by pinning up her signature long, red hair to form a faux bob.
She paired this angular hairstyle with a grayish blue, turtleneck dress that featured a corset bustier and asymmetrical skirt. The sleeveless frock was covered in lace and completed with matching gloves and stocking heels. And Chappell's hairstylist, Lacy Redway, didn't hold back when describing the vibe of the 28-year-old's 'do. "Bonjour!" she wrote on Instagram. "From Paris with a c--ty faux bob on my girl."
But this isn't the first time Chappell has toyed around with the idea of a short crop. Her music video for "The Subway," which showed the Grammy winner with Rapunzel-like hair as she chased after an ex around New York City, ended with her rocking a bob to symbolize moving on from the relationship. While Chappell confirmed at the time of the shoot last year that the jaw-leveled look was a wig, she wrote on Instagram, "You do not understand. how bad I want a bob now."
Hair plays an important role in Chappell's life. As she previously explained, her fiery red tresses are a form of "drag" that helps her tap into her onstage persona. "I'm just being my 10-year-old self," she told Paper in 2024. "My whole persona is just me trying to honor that version of myself that I was never allowed to be."
Indeed, the natural brunette felt stifled by conventions growing up in Missouri. "I was always so precious about my hair," she recalled in a December interview with Canadian music journalist Nardwuar. "I was like, 'I can't possibly dye it. That's crazy.'" Chappell added, "And then one day, I was like, 'F--k it.'"
