Chappell Roan is "Hot to Go!" for her VMAs debut.
The pop sensation, who is up for four awards at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, arrived at New York's UBS Arena Wednesday night in an eye-catching ensemble that exuded the singer's signature campy glamour.
Roan donned a flowy black dress, which she paired with a light green coat that draped the floor behind her with its extravagant train. She also carried a silver sword for a dash of medieval flair.
Roan is up for best new artist, MTV Push performance of the year ("Red Wine Supernova"), song of summer ("Good Luck, Babe!") and best trending video ("Hot to Go!").

Chappell Roan set to make VMAs debut
In addition to being a nominated act, the "Good Luck, Babe!" singer is set to hit the VMAs stage for a solo performance.
Roan's VMAs appearance comes amid the singer's headlining Midwest Princess Tour. Earlier this month, Roan was forced to cancel a trio of concerts in Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin, citing "scheduling conflicts." Her concert in Berlin was rescheduled for Sept. 23.
"I am so sorry (and) very disappointed :(" Roan wrote in an Aug. 29 X post. " I promise I will be back. I'm heartbroken 💔 thank you for understanding."

Chappell Roan seemingly argues with photographer on VMAs red carpet
The VMAs red carpet wasn't all fun and fashion for Roan.
While Roan was having her outfit adjusted on the carpet, an event photographer allegedly yelled at Roan to "shut the (expletive) up," according to footage shared on social media.
"You shut the (expletive) up," Roan shot back. "No, not me."
It's not clear what sparked the dispute between Roan and the photographer.
'Biggest set of all time':Chappell Roan may have made history at Lollapalooza
2024 has been a banner year for Roan, who released her debut album "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess" last September. The synthpop LP peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart in late August. Her latest single, "Good Luck, Babe!", scored her a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 6.
She's also struck gold on the touring circuit. Roan performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April and as an opening act on Olivia Rodrigo’s recent Guts World Tour. Her August set at Lollapalooza was packed with thongs of fans, with a festival spokesperson later revealing Roan had the "biggest daytime set" in Lollapalooza history.
