Chappell Roan Turns Heads in Backless Look at Rabanne's Paris Runway Show
The Midwest Princess surprisingly went backless for her Paris Fashion Week debut at Rabanne.
Chappell Roan is known for her elaborate, avant-garde stage outfits, and Thursday in Paris, she delivered yet another showstopping moment while sitting in the front row at Rabanne’s Fall/Winter 2025 runway show, showing a little more skin than usual.
The Grammy-winning singer made her Paris Fashion Week debut at Rabanne wearing a strikingly skin-baring look by the French brand. Roan shimmered in a sleeveless and backless silver top, paired with a matching metallic skirt that hugged her frame. She completed the look with her signature theatrical makeup—a bold, painterly face beat—and delicate silver drop earrings. This ensemble marked a departure from her usual camp-infused stage-wear, and instead, it embraced Rabanne's futuristic edge with a sleek, liquid-metal aesthetic.
Roan’s love for the label is no secret. She first turned heads in a Rabanne piece at the 2024 MTV VMAs, where she accepted her Best New Artist award in a sculptural, mirror-like ensemble. But this Paris Fashion Week look felt like a true moment in the star's fashion evolution—one that mirrored the rapid-fire trajectory of her career. 
The past year has been nothing short of monumental for Roan. She scored nominations in all four major Grammy categories, ultimately taking home her first golden gramophone at the 2025 awards ceremony (where she wore archival Jean Paul Gaultier couture). While she's still riding the high of her breakout success, she’s already teasing what’s next. Recently, she's been teasing and sharing snippets of a new song, The Giver, hinting that her reign is only just beginning. If Roan’s Rabanne look is any indication, she’s stepping into this next era with a refined confidence—one that proves she can serve just as much impact offstage as she does on.
