Chappell Roan's 'Hot to Go' Music Video Costume Sells for $89K in Benefit Auction for L.A. Wildfire Relief
The star's iconic 'Hot to Go' music video 'fit — a vintage sequined marching band unitard and strappy, knee-high boots — sold for a whopping $88,900 in Julien's Auctions' Give a Frock Auction. The auction house announced the winning bid — the highest of the entire auction! — on Tuesday, Feb. 25, following the conclusion of the event, which raised funds for Los Angeles wildfire relief.
Ahead of the pop culture-centric benefit auction, the company estimated that glittering blue and gold unitard — which Roan, 27, also wore on stage at Outside Lands Festival last summer — and size 7 Jeffrey Campbell boots would go for $1,000 to $2,000, meaning it earned 88 times the lowest estimated selling price, and 44 times the highest.
The sparkling, vintage ensemble — curated by Roan's stylist, Genesis Webb — was just one of the pieces she donated to the wildfire relief fundraiser.

Other pieces from the 'Pink Pony Club' singer that sold for 'top prices,' Julien's Auctions said, were the (similarly fringe-heavy) purple two-piece ensemble she wore at Sacramento venue Goldfield Trading Post, and the green, ultra-platform Marc Jacobs boots she wore in her cover photo shoot for Rolling Stone last fall.
The purple set sold for $22,225 — over 22 times more than its estimated selling price of $1,000 — while the platforms raked in a grand total of $6,350.
And Roan wasn't the only pop girly whose iconic pieces did numbers in the relief auction. Items worn by Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Hayley Williams, Olivia Rodrigo and the inventor of BRAT herself, Charli xcx, also sold for thousands.
The iconic polka-dot co-ord Carpenter, 25, wore in her 'Taste' music video — Blondita's popular Gwen set — sold for $22,225, while the hooded Alaïa minidress she wore in her 'Please Please Please' music video (the pre-Dolly Parton version!) boasted a winning bid of $34,925. (An outfit Jenna Ortega wore in the 'Taste' video alongside the star also sold for $13,000.)
Meanwhile, the Rodarte gown Rodrigo, 22, wore at the premiere of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes in 2023 fetched $10,160, and two outfits worn by Charli, 32 — a bridal-inspired ensemble and custom Gucci 'fit she wore during her Sweat Tour — went for $22,225 and $8,890 in the auction, respectively.

2025 VMAs Performers: Sabrina Carpenter, sombr, Alex Warren, and More
This year's MTV Video Music Awards are just around the corner, which means it's time to get to know the 2025 VMAs performers officially. Each year, celebs from all around the world congregate at the celebration to give us not only some of the most memorable red carpet looks of all time (Lady Gaga's meat dress, anyone?) but also some of the most unforgettable performances, and this year would be no different. Last year, we saw Chappell Roan dressed as Joan of Arc setting a castle on fire, Sabrina Carpenter making out with an alien, and Video Vanguard Award recipient Katy Perry flying across the stage while belting hits like 'Dark Horse," 'ET,' 'I Kissed A Girl,' and more. This year, another slew of performers is hoping to leave a lasting impression, taking to the 2025 VMAs stage on September 7. MTV announced the first round of 2025 VMAs performers on August 18, and plenty of familiar faces will be gracing the stage, including nominees Sabrina Carpenter, Alex Warren, sombr, and more. This year's ceremony will also feature Latin superstar aplenty, with legend Ricky Martin and reggaeton staple J Balvin also tapped as performers. Hip-hop icon Busta Rhymes will also take to the stage as a recipient of the MTV VMA Rock the Bells Visionary Award. Ahead of the show, check out the complete list of 2025 MTV VMAs performers we've gotten so far below — and stay tuned for more additions as September gets closer. Sabrina Carpenter After her showstopping performance from last year and taking home her first Moon Person for Song of the Year, Sabrina Carpenter will be back as a performer for the MTV VMAs 2025, which will be fresh off the debut of her long-anticipated forthcoming album Man's Best Friend. Aside from attending as a performer, Carpenter is also one of the leading nominees this year with eight nods, including the coveted Video of the Year title for 'Manchild.' sombr Breakout singer-songwriter and producer sombr is a first-time nominee during the 2025 VMAs and will also be making his award show debut during the night. The up-and-coming star is up for Best New Artist and Best Alternative for his hit track 'back to friends.' Alex Warren Another up-and-coming star that will be gracing the MTV VMAs stage for the first time is MTV PUSH artist Alex Warren. Much like sombr, Warren is also a first-time nominee this year and is up for Best New Artist, Best Pop, and Song of the Year for his hit song 'Ordinary.' Busta Rhymes Busta Rhymes will take to the VMAs stage to receive the first-ever MTV VMA Rock the Bells Visionary Award, which celebrates his legendary career. This will be the second major title MTV grants the legend, having also received the Global Icon honor at the 2024 MTV EMAs. J Balvin J Balvin is set to return to the VMAs stage to perform his new song 'Zun Zun" — and he won't be doing so alone. The Colombian singer will be joined on stage by Justin Quiles and Lenny Tavárez. The star will then be joined by French super producer DJ Snake, who will make his VMAs debut, to premiere their new collab 'Noventa.' Ricky Martin Latin legend Ricky Martin will return to the VMAs stage to, much like Busta Rhymes, become the first-ever artist to receive the new Latin Icon Award, which honors his trailblazing career spanning four decades. The night will mark the 26th anniversary of his first VMAs performance in 1996, when he achieved another first, becoming the first male Latin artist to win for Best Pop Video. …and more to be announced.

Chappell Roan's New Single Brings Her To Never-Before-Seen Highs
Just a few days after being properly released, Chappell Roan's new single 'The Subway' has turned out to be one of the biggest of her career. The tune is off to a fantastic start across several Billboard charts worldwide and in America, as it seems that there is a serious demand for anything new from the singer-songwriter and current holder of the Best New Artist Grammy. 'The Subway' doesn't just earn a lofty beginning, it helps the pop star climb higher than ever on multiple tallies. Chappell Roan's New Career Peaks 'The Subway' opens at No. 3 on both the Hot 100, America's list of the most consumed songs in the country, and on the Billboard Global 200, which ranks the biggest tracks all around the planet. No. 3 now stands as Roan's all-time career high on both of those rankings. On the Hot 100, she previously stalled at No. 4 with both 'Good Luck, Babe!' and 'Pink Pony Club.' Globally, 'Good Luck, Babe!' — which peaked at No. 5 — stood out as her highest-rising title until this frame. Chappell Roan Almost Hits No. 1 for the First Time Roan almost scores her first No. 1 on the Streaming Songs tally, which looks specifically at the tunes that rack up the most plays on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, iHeartRadio, Tidal, and others in the United States. On that list, 'The Subway' begins its time in the runner-up space, losing out to 'Golden' from the movie KPop: Demon Hunters. Just as is the case on the Hot 100, Roan has seen two tunes peak at No. 4 on the Streaming Songs list, although 'Pink Pony Club' only galloped to No. 6 as both 'Good Luck, Babe!' and 'The Giver' worked their way to No. 4. 'The Subway' Launches Inside the Top 10 Everywhere 'The Subway' also enters the top 10 on two other Billboard rankings. The track is new at No. 4 on the Digital Song Sales chart and No. 10 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., though those do not mark new peak positions for the rising pop musician on those lists. 'Good Luck, Babe!' and 'The Giver' Join 'The Subway' 'The Subway' is the latest single from Roan that continues her global success, which is not featured on her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. That set did produce tracks like 'Pink Pony Club,' 'Hot to Go!,' and 'Red Wine Supernova.' While many of her most famous cuts — including 'Good Luck, Babe!' and 'The Giver' — are likely to be featured on a forthcoming project, though Roan has no timetable for when she may finish her sophomore full-length.

BLACKPINK at Wembley Stadium review: The world's biggest girl group are at the top of their game
Olivia Rodrigo owning Glastonbury, Sabrina Carpenter playing two nights at Hyde Park, Charli XCX's Brat victory lap, 2025 has undoubtedly been the summer of the pop girlies. It's only right then that BLACKPINK, the biggest girl band in the world, get in on the action. The K-pop titans' Deadline world tour took over London's Wembley Stadium for the first of two shows on Friday night, following an 18-month hiatus where the four-piece worked on solo projects. Each member was given plenty of space to flex during the two-hour show. Jisoo performed her dreamy Your Love accompanied by confetti and chairography, Jennie was every bit the swaggering rockstar for her snarling viral hit Like Jennie. Lisa couldn't have been more different to her softly-spoken The White Lotus character during a trio of brilliant, high-energy tracks from debut solo album Alter Ego while Rosé went full '00s for the snotty pop-punk inspired Toxic and a surprisingly chaotic APT.. All four are clearly stars and looked very comfortable on their own in the spotlight but together, they're on a whole other level. Previous BLACKPINK tours have been incredibly choreographed events, performed with an eventual concert movie in mind. Deadline was a far more relaxed affair – well, as relaxed as a six-act stadium show with a curved runway, fireworks and an entire dance academy can really be. There was still plenty of polish and no one could accuse the group of phoning it in, but they spent as much energy interacting with the crowd and trying to make each other laugh as they did recreating their slick music videos. The whole thrilling gig was wonderfully playful. At one-point FKA Twigs joined Rosé backstage for a scone and a shot. Why? Why not. A live band gave earlier, more polite tracks WHISTLE and BOOMBAYAH an added bite while the obnoxiously OTT pop of Pink Venom and Pretty Savage were clearly written to make a stadium full of people dance. Their music has always been ambitious, taking the best bits of countless different genres to create perfectly-formed pop spectaculars, but there was a joyous, infectious energy that came with performing it in one of the biggest venues around. As the first K-pop group to headline Wembley Stadium, BLACKPINK made sure to have the most fun possible, but they also took every opportunity to soak up the 'surreal' and 'insane' achievement. 'It really is such an honour,' said Jennie, thanking the crowd for supporting the band over the past nine years. There have been rumours circulating online that BLACKPINK will go on a more permanent hiatus after this tour, but at no point during the show did it feel like things were winding down. 'I wanted to do a song that felt like a goodbye, just for the meantime,' Rosé said before the tender Dance All Night, deliberately hinting at a return, while the mini-movies that were played during the gig were a celebration of the girls coming back together. Despite their historic legacy it was the recently released Jump, an urgent mash-up of Spice Girls camaraderie and the energy of a sweaty rave, that got the biggest reaction of the night. It's such a banger, it was played twice. What more could you possibly want?
