It’s an understatement to say that Chappell Roan had a huge 2024. But as the hours ticked down to 2025, the singer was in a reflective mood on Monday (Dec. 30) in an Instagram post in which she ran down her top 10 personal ranking of her most “Iconic” looks of the year. The singer also noted in the caption of her post that “it’s my OPINION!!!!! + why yes, I do consider myself to be iconique.”
The number one spot is, of course, Roan’s joint-smoking, green-skinned Lady Liberty getup from this summer’s Governors Ball Festival in New York in June. Roan memorably emerged from a gigantic apple, her skin covered in green paint, with a spiky silver tiara topping off the ensemble.
Number two was her pig-nosed look from a Grammy afterparty in which she channeled the “Good Luck, Babe” single cover art, down to the deep red dress. Coming in at three was the pink prom dress, stacked red hair style from the singer’s NPR Tiny Desk show, followed by the Medieval warrior queen get-up she rocked at this year’s MTV VMAs, where she famously clashed with a photographer; she alluded to that incident by captioning the shot “vma carpet (triggered).”
The white latex outfit reading “EAT ME” from her Coachella weekend one set came in at number five, followed by the full Roan of Arc suit of armor from her 2024 VMA performance and the colorful butterfly weekend ‘fit from the second Coachella weekend. At number eight was the chilly white swan outfit she wore in June during an appearance on The Tonight Show, with her lucha libre-inspired blue and pink costume from her mind-blowing Lollapalooza day set taking the ninth spot.
Rounding out the list was an equally over-the-top ensemble Roan wore on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert for her late night debut in February, which found her sitting in a giant heart while wearing a frilly, bedazzled white Victorian mini dress.
Roan is a six-time nominee at the upcoming Grammy Awards (Feb. 1), where she is in the mix for best new artist, album of the year for her breakthrough LP The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, as well as song and record of the year for “Good Luck, Babe!”

Cardi B is in a New York state of mind. The Bronx native revealed on X over the weekend that she’s done with her Atlanta residence, and appears ready to unload the estate and settle down once again in the Big Apple.
“My casa….. I don’t want it nomore tho,” she wrote in response to an X account complimenting her Georgia home with a photo of the castle-like mansion featuring a beautiful backyard pool.
Cardi then explained that she doesn’t enjoy living in Atlanta — where her estranged husband Offset is from — and prefers to be back in New York full time.
“I don’t like living in Atlanta ….i actually don’t like living nowhere else but NY,” she responded to a fan on X who asked why she no longer wanted the lavish home.
Cardi and Offset reportedly purchased the five-bedroom home in 2019 for more than $5 million. She also owns property in New Jersey and the Dominican Republic. The “Bodak Yellow” rapper filed for divorce from Offset for a second time over the summer. They have three kids together.
Though the Grammy-winning artist may no longer want the mansion, another musician may be interested. A blog reposted the photo of Cardi’s tweet of the Atlanta home, and it eventually landed on Rick Ross’ radar, who inquired about the mansion’s cost. “Asking price??” he wrote in the comments section.
Billboard has reached out to Cardi B and Rick Ross’ reps for comment.
The MMG mogul has quite the real estate portfolio himself, including the 109-room Fayetteville, Ga., estate that previously belonged to boxing legend Evander Holyfield.
Rozay also bought Meek Mill’s Atlanta residence for $4.2 million in 2023 after the property sat on the real estate market for more than two years. Meek’s former crib boasts a swimming pool, tennis court, movie theater and more to go along with the eight bedrooms and nine baths.
