Chappell Roan transformed the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame stage into a vivid celebration of individuality and glamour. As she inducted her idol, Cyndi Lauper, into the Hall of Fame, Roan delivered a look that blended nostalgia with pure theatrical flair.
Her custom newspaper-print skirt, crafted by designer Efrain Nava, was paired with a glittering headpiece by Manny Robertson — a direct nod to one of Lauper’s iconic True Colors visuals. The ensemble felt like a time capsule from the ‘80s, reborn through Roan’s unapologetically modern and campy lens.

This wasn’t just a tribute; it was a moment of cultural resonance. With every detail shimmering under the stage lights, Chappell Roan reminded us that Lauper’s legacy — bold, bright, and delightfully rebellious — is alive and thriving in a new generation of pop visionaries.
