Chappell Roan armor crochet?

So I've heard that Chappell Roan's iconic VMA look had fully crocheted chainmail, but I'm struggling to find a source. Any thoughts on whether this could actually have been crocheted?

And ideas for replicating this style of chainmail? Stitch ideas? Yarn recommendations? I had been looking at Hobbii's Pearly Haze in Charcoal, but am open to other suggestions! https://hobbii.com/pearly-haze?option=21900
