Fashion or indecency? Fans react to Chappell Roan's bold red carpet look during Jamie Foxx encounter

“I’m sorry. Did he just introduce his kids to her with her entire a** titties out?” one user gasped on social media, perfectly capturing the collective shock as Jamie Foxx briefly paused on the 2026 Grammy Awards red carpet to introduce Chappell Roan to his family.

Roan, dressed in a sheer maroon Mugler gown suspended by visible nipple rings, had just made her entrance, one that left little to the imagination. Foxx, along with his daughters Corinne and Anelise, seemed momentarily caught in the spectacle.

Look, fashion has changed. And by “changed,” I mean we’ve gone from “classy elegance” to “who can show the most skin without being arrested?”

Remember when indecent exposure was, you know, illegal? Yeah, good times. Now, apparently, it’s a requirement for red carpet relevance. The less fabric, the more likes, and suddenly, a nipple ring is haute couture.

One X user jokingly imagined what Foxx might have said: “Excuse me, kids, I’m gonna go chat with the lady whose dress is basically held up by her nipple rings.”

In Hollywood, honestly, that wouldn’t even be the strangest thing on a red carpet.

One viewer threw their hands in the air: “Why even wear clothes at that point? Anyone else sick of everything being hyper-sexualised?”

And yes. I am. We’ve reached the point where you’re not just seeing fashion; you’re seeing a full-on anatomy lesson with a side of designer label.

Sure, some call it empowerment. Some call it confidence. I call it: leave something to the imagination, please. It’s not that hard, people. Hint, tease, but don’t hand it all over on a platter.

Social media and, well, everything else that we see has normalised exposure in ways previous generations would’ve needed therapy to comprehend.

What was once private is now mainstream, and the red carpet? That’s the front page of the gallery. We’re living in an era where you can’t tell if someone’s flexing fashion-forward creativity or just forgot their outfit at home.

Don’t get me wrong. I get the whole “power of choice” thing. You want to wear what makes you feel confident? Go for it. But empowerment shouldn’t have to mean full nudity.

A little mystery? A little teasing? That’s the art of fashion, honey. Not everything needs to be a headline screaming, “LOOK AT ME, I’M NAKED.” Sometimes, subtlety slaps harder than sheer Mugler ever could.

Roan’s dress is the perfect example of where fashion is right now: daring, unapologetic, and leaving viewers divided between admiration and second-hand embarrassment. 

At the end of the day, the red carpet is a reflection of our times, but as much as we love confidence, sometimes, just sometimes, we also love imagination.
