Before a single trophy was handed out at the Grammy Awards 2026 ceremony, one red-carpet moment had already set the internet buzzing. As cameras flashed outside the Crypto.com Arena, Chappell Roan made a dramatic entrance that drew attention not only for her bold fashion, but for a brief, unscripted exchange involving Jamie Foxx and his daughters.

Roan, who rose to prominence after winning Best New Artist in 2025, returned to the Grammys with multiple nominations and a look that leaned heavily into avant-garde couture. Wearing a custom Mugler design, she blended high fashion with performance art, staying true to the theatrical visual style that has become central to her public image. The striking outfit ensured she was already one of the most photographed stars of the night.

The moment that truly caught fire online came when Foxx, attending with his daughters Corinne and Anelise, crossed paths with Roan on the carpet. Cameras captured Foxx warmly introducing the singer to his daughters and mentioning that his younger daughter was a fan. The exchange was brief and friendly, ending quickly as Roan moved on for photos, but clips of the interaction spread rapidly across social media.

Reactions were mixed. Some viewers praised the moment as genuine and sweet, while others debated the timing and setting. Regardless, the clip gained millions of views within hours, reinforcing Roan’s growing cultural visibility. Once again, the Grammys proved that a few unscripted seconds on the red carpet can spark as much conversation as the awards themselves.
