Chappell Roan Nods to ‘Barbie of Swan Lake’ in Bird-inspired Outfits From The Blonds and Gunnar Deatherage on ‘Jimmy Fallon’
Chappell Roan brought campy glamour to “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Thursday. Styled by Genesis Webb, the rising star wore two outfits inspired by the 2003 animated fantasy “Barbie of Swan Lake.”
The first look, a black corset with dramatic feathers peaking out of the bodice, came from The Blonds’ fall 2024 collection, which was inspired by Latin pop stars such as Jennifer Lopez and Selena Quintanilla. The singer paired it with fishnet stockings and platform boots.

For a performance of her hit song “Good Luck, Baby!,” Roan changed into a feather-covered white minidress custom-made by Gunnar Deatherage, who is known for competing on Season 10 and All Stars Season Four of “Project Runway.” The white ensemble featured a caged miniskirt for extra drama and was accessorized with a matching headpiece.
Roan’s makeup followed the dramatic theme, with white and black eye shadow and tiny white feathers popping out of her eyelashes. The makeup look was signed by artist Andrew Dahling. Dom Forletta did her wavy hair, and Juan Alvear did her six-inch stiletto nails.
Roan has been receiving social media praise for her recent drag queen-inspired outfits. On June 9, she wore a Statue of Liberty-inspired look to the Governors Ball Music Festival and paid homage to the late drag queen Divine during the Kentuckiana Pride on June 15.
During the interview with Fallon, Roan talked about her fashion inspiration. “My stylist Genesis Webb and I pull from drag, horror movies, burlesque, theater.…I love looking pretty and scary,” she said.
