Her face was a starker shade of white, and this time her dress was pink instead of blue.
Fans have circulated several graphs throughout the year showing her exploding number of monthly listeners on Spotify.
However, Webb told the outlet that fans shouldn’t read too much into the message of the tee.
“It was just funny.
It was truly not a statement at all literally having fun,” she said.
“I think it’s very tongue in cheek.”
As with many other Chappell Roan outfits, this one also paid homage to the drag community.
Thank you thank you thank you …
I will remember this forever."
“Hi [Chappell Roan]!”
Willow Nightingale, who wrestles for AEW,tweeted.
“Aye [Chappell Roan],” shewrote, “you trying to fight.”
Fans on the Chappell Roan subreddit noted an even deeper meaning to the singer’s outfit choice.

“I dedicate this to queer and trans people that fuel pop.”
Her arched eyebrows and cigarette paired perfectly with the shape-hugging red dress from “Pink Flamingos.”
“divine if you are reading this from heaven…come down and haunt me sometime xoxo.”
“Chappell said she loved it too.”
Putting the look together required a visit to a Los Angeles costume shop called Palace.
“It’s all antique styling.”
“It was the first time that I had traveled for a job,” Webb recalled.
I just said a little prayer, checked the bag, and hoped for the best."
The centerpiece of the look, however, was a prosthetic pig snout.
Speaking with Vulture, stylist Genesis Webb declined to explain the thinking behind the wild fashion statement.
“We were grappling with a lot of different ideas,” Webb recalled.
“That one felt right for a variety of reasons.”

ensuring that the pig nose would be part of her burgeoning iconography.
being Babe the pig from the Babe movie, and she ran with it."
She didn’t have an outfit ready for this particular festival performance.
Instead, she turned to a local costume shop called The Theatrical Shop.
I mean, how could I not respond?"
The performance was on a Sunday, which certainly fit the theme.
How do you like me now?"
OnInstagramafterwards, Roan posted a slideshow of photos of herself and her sister sisters.
In the caption, she pointed out yet another fitting reason why she would dress as a nun.
“My church,” she wrote, “is Chappell.”
Then, for a stunning performance of “Good Luck, Babe!”
at the piano, Roan wore a white feathered dress and curly blonde hair.
Her typical white-faced makeup looked extra chilly, paired with icy blue eyeshadow and wine-stained red lips.
OnInstagram, she summed up her inspiration succinctly, writing simply, “barbie swan lake!!”
The performance look included a tutu of sorts, and the bodice was encrusted with pearls.
While swans are typically considered beautiful, the Chappell Roan look aimed for something else entirely.
Webb explained, “It doesn’t look like, ‘Oh, a pretty swan.’
It looks scary, almost like it could be in a horror film.”
The makeup alone took two hours to perfect.
But Roan and her team are nothing if not determined.
“Whatever it takes to get the look, we’re into it,” Dahling said.
For Roan’s Paper Magazine shoot, she dressed in a simple black bra and a yellow lace slip.
I appreciate nothing more than seeing myself and being jump scared."
“I am not trying to be a chic b****,” she said.
Nothing turns me off more than frickin' luxury brands."
Does Coach not count?
What would she do?
That was the first of three looks; next came her “Good Luck, Babe!”
This time she wielded a crossbow, setting the stage on fire as she wailed out the smash hit.
Roan’s makeup artist, Andrew Dahling, spoke withCNNabout the team’s inspiration behind the looks.
“[What] if Joan of Arc was a glamour girl,” he said.
“It’s very romantic.
But sort of dark romantic.
Very heavy on the eyes, very glowy skin, very ethereal.”
One thing’s for sure: She lookedFemininomenal.
