Beauty Looks Inspired by Chappell Roan

By now, Chappell Roan is no longer a rising pop star: she is an icon in her own right. Between her upbeat and sentimental songs, her campy, defiant and whimsical wardrobe, or her advocacy for many social causes and the LGBTQ+ community, everyone is familiar with Roan's important, powerful platform and artistic expression. And among her many qualities is her contribution to the beauty world. 

Whether she's transforming into the Statue of Liberty or Swan Lake, the musician doesn't play coy about her make-up. Inspired by the look of drag queens, and subcultures like Club Kids and New Romantics, Roan brings a fresh, bold and electrifying energy to the beauty world while pushing all its limits. Below, check out some of the beauty looks you can take inspiration from the singer.

Chappell Roan's most iconic makeup looks

Office Siren

For her latest song, The Giver – The Lawer Edition, Chappell Roan poses with a look straight out of an office siren: thin eyebrows, deep red lips, brown eyeshadow with touches of cream and glitter, a sophisticated eyeliner and demure eyelashes.

Red Queen 

At Valentino's Fall/Winter 2025 show, Roan sat in the front row with a doll-like make-up by Andrew Dahling, with thin brows and fluttery eyelashes. The beauty look also somewhat channeled Alice in Wonderland's iconic Red Queen look: white face and red doll lips.

Punk Drama! 

For Vivienne Westwood Fall/Winter 2025, the musician went with her signature drag white skin, a dramatic dark blue and black liner, while a bold red lip gave her a punk twist.

Blue & Yellow — And Giant Eyelashes!

With a campy vibe, Chappell Roan's 2025 Grammys red carpet make-up look featured a pale base, extremely long and curled lash extensions, dark blue and sunflower yellow eyeshadow with silver glitter touches and dark brownish red lips. The make-up artist behind Roan's Victorian romantic look was Andrew Dahling, who was inspired by the French designer Jean Paul Gaultier's archives. 

Whimsical on the Stage! 

Her performance and acceptance speech beauty look at the Grammys included warm pink shade lips, bold blue, purple and yellow eye shadow with plenty of pinky glitter and a little pink stone-like detail at the start of each eyebrow.

Pink and Green Go Well Together 

In Manchester, the pop star kicked off her 2024 UK tour with nude lips, a combo of dark, bright and glittery green eyeshadows in a feline shape, sparkling stones and a strong magenta-like blush. It was a look that, in a way, echoed Jon M. Chu's Wicked Elphaba and Glinda vibe.

Weirdieval 

For her 2024 VMAs performance, Roan went for a medieval weird-girl look with soft nude lips, metallic blue, dark fuchsia and glittery gold eyeshadow.

Divine

When performing at the Kentuckiana Pride festival, Chappell Roan paid homage to the queer icon Pink Flamingos Divine's signature style and make-up look, which consisted of high, thinly drawn brows, blue and silver eyeshadow, lined nude lips, hot pink blushed cheeks, and a bold eyeliner. 

Red, white, blue 

During Chappell Roan’s tiny desk concert, the musician rocked her signature drag queen-inspired white face, dramatic blue and white eyeshadow with double black and white eyeliner, and bright, deep red lips. 

Frosty Black Swan

When attending The Tonight Show, the singer flaunted frosty silver lips, a black swan-like eyeshadow with hues of black and white, white eyeliner, pink details under her eye line, and feathery, dramatic white lashes.
