Chappell Roan stomped onto the stage for her Kentuckiana Pride performance on June 15 in a ruby red gown, a leopard bra peeking out from the bodice, drawn-on eyebrows that arched up to her hairline, and a cigarette clipped between two fingers.

Roan's"Eat Me" look was Webb's homage to Paris Hilton wearing an"Eat the Rich" bikini for a 2004 photoshoot with David LaChapelle.The other throughline in Roan's concert outfits is her politics. “She's always been very vocal and considers it important to give back to the communities that have done so much for her," Webb says."My job is to make it as easy as possible for her to provide the message she wants to give.
"Many of our homages are to celebrate moments that aren't in the mainstream anymore and to bring them into 2024 for her younger audience," says Webb. Roan is not only making music or history, but she's preserving it as well.
