Carbon Costume

Chappell Roan is a rising singer-songwriter that has a unique style when it comes to her stage costumes. She is inspired by drag and isn’t afraid to go all out glam in her performances. Her fans have taken a love to her style and share their concert-going costumes and outfits online where they show off their creativity by recreating her looks and making their own.

One look that would be great to recreate is from her music video for one of her breakout songs Pink Pony Club. To create this look, wear an embellished denim jacket and either glue or sew on more metallic fringe and trims. Under that wear a white bodysuit or leotard like the one here with fringe, and add more trim to the piece and the hem at the legs. Pair this with silver fringe cowboy boots and a white cowboy hat.
