Chappell Roan’s Jaw-Dropping Medieval Pirate Stage Looks Are Revolutionizing NYC Performances—You Won’t Believe What She Wore Next!

What happens when a musical trailblazer returns after nearly a year away and decides to sail the stage on a pirate ship? Chappell Roan’s “Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things” tour kicked off with a bang last night in New York, serving not just as a triumphant homecoming but a full-on spectacle of high fashion and theatrical charisma. Picture this: a mystical voyage of sound and style, with Roan stepping out in tailor-made ensembles that would make any corsair jealous—red bustiers with gold stars, cape-like boleros, and a coat that commands attention like a general’s uniform on the battlefield. It’s not just a concert; it’s an experience that captures the imagination and leaves you wondering—how many artists dare to take their stagecraft to such dizzying, sartorial heights while owning every moment? As the tour charts a course from New York to Missouri and California, it’s clear Chappell Roan is not just performing; she’s conquering her own musical empire. LEARN MORE

Last night, Chappell Roan kicked off her Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things tour in New York to an energetic crowd fit for the celebration it was. The first of four sold out nights at Forest Hills Stadium, the show not only served as the beginning of a busy month to come, but also as a homecoming for Roan, who hadn’t performed in the US in nearly a year.

Roan is never afraid to lean into a visual theme, and for the opening night, she went all out, transforming the stage into a mystical, magical pirate ship. In honor of the special occasion, she debuted three new looks, each more elaborate than the next.

Designed by costumier duo Alexander Cole and James Nguyen, the trio of custom pieces were unmistakably inspired by the age of piracy, but with a high fashion twist. In one look, Roan wore a red bustier top with black stripes, gold stars, and an exaggerated zig-zag hem, referencing the classic ripped edges and patterns seen on traditional garb. The piece was finished with a matching choker and paired with knee-high lace-up platform boots. In the second look, the artist changed into another black-and-red corset, this time with a bolero, which tied around the neck like a cape and featured zip-up sleeves left partially undone to reveal mesh gloves.

In the final of the three looks, the designers—and Roan’s stylist Genesis Webb—dressed the star in an elaborate ensemble centered around a statement coat. The show-stopping piece played with proportion and silhouette, with leg-of-mutton sleeves, a cinched corset waist, and a voluminous skirt. Just like the ones before it, it proved a beacon of detailing, with gold embellishments and lace trim to pull the look together.

The three-stop mini tour—which Roan refers to as a series of pop-up shows—will hit her home state of Missouri after New York, before wrapping up in California.
