Chappell Roan has abandoned her signature curls for a baby bang and straightened, strawberry-blonde-streaked hair. The debut came last night at the Abbey in West Hollywood — the real-life Pink Pony Club — where Roan played a guest DJ set featuring her hit "Pink Pony Club."

The Los Angeles gay nightclub, which inspired the Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess single, hosted MISTR's second annual National PrEP Day celebration. Christina Aguilera, Demi Lovato and Charli XCX attended to highlight HIV prevention.

What changed in Roan's look?

The transformation replaced Roan's classic deep-red curls with a straightened finish. High-contrast strawberry-blonde highlights created a streaky effect against her deep-red base shade. For further dimension, the look was completed with a baby bang — the micro-fringe trend already embraced by Florence Pugh, Zendaya, Jennifer Lawrence and Dakota Johnson.

The polarizing cut offers a fresh alternative to the long layers typical of autumn. The micro-fringe also gave space to Roan's glittery eyeshadow, which shimmered in shades of purple, blue and yellow.

Makeup artist Andrew Dahling finished the glam with blush and a neutral-brown matte lip.

What did she wear?

The "Good Luck, Babe!" singer paired the new hair with a striped latex minidress from Christian Cowan's Spring 2026 collaboration with latex brand Vex. The New York City-based designer's red-and-beige piece featured a strapless silhouette and matching gloves. Roan added thigh-high burgundy stockings to complete the outfit.

The baby bang's growing celebrity roster — now including Roan — signals the micro-fringe is moving from runway experiment to red-carpet staple for the season.
