To mark the occasion, RiseNY is unveiling a new addition to its fashion gallery: a dazzling black, swan-inspired gown worn by Chappell Roan on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
The dress was designed by The Blonds, the NYC-based fashion duo known for creating unforgettable looks for Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry. Part of their 2024 Fuego Rubio collection, the piece combines intricate textiles, hand embroidery, and bold design that perfectly captures Chappell Roan’s larger-than-life persona.
