Chappell Roan Reveals She Wears 'Gray and Black IRL' Offstage: 'I Can't Handle the S— That I Wear'

Sometimes, Chappell Roan just wants to keep the clothes casual.

The “Pink Pony Club” singer, whose real name is Kayleigh Amstutz, left her mark on the fashion world with her avant-garde outfits. However, she wants you to know that her glow doesn’t last long after she steps off the stage.

In an interview with Rolling Stone posted on Tuesday, September 10, the 26-year-old pop star admitted that on a normal day, she prefers to keep the look low-key.

“I wear gray and black IRL because I can’t deal with the— I wear [onstage]”, she said.

This year, Roan wore everything from a wrestling-inspired look at Lollapalooza to a literal Statue of Liberty outfit for her appearance at the Governors Ball in New York. When she performed in Chicago ahead of the city’s festival in August, she also took off her Marie Antoinette costume complete with a high wig.

While she may not be wearing these over-the-top looks in her spare time, she really appreciates them.

“My stylist Genesis Webb and I pull from drag, we pull from horror movies, we pull from burlesque, we pull from theater,” she told Jimmy Fallon on his late-night talk show in June. “I like to look pretty and scary. Or, like, pretty and tacky. Or just not pretty. I like that too.”

The pop star went on to explain that when it comes to fashion, she throws all the rules out the window.

“I just don’t think it’s serious,” she said. “I love that fans find such deep meaning in things, and I’m just like, ‘I don’t know, I thought I looked hot.’ Like, I don’t know if it’s more than that.”

Webb and Roan both admire each other’s work. “She is so good. She wants to do everything,” Webb praised her in the July 9 interview Harper’s Bazaar.
