How Sabrina Carpenter's style has evolved, from her Disney star days to stealing the spotlight at Coachella
Sabrina Carpenter's style has evolved since she rose to fame as a Disney star.
Her red carpet and concert fashion has become more daring through the years.
Carpenter perfected the sheer trend on and off the stage and is now synonymous with minidresses.
If anyone is in the running for the crown of pop music's princess, it's Sabrina Carpenter.
In the past year, the 24-year-old opened for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, took the stage at Coachella, made headlines for dating "Saltburn" star Barry Keoghan, and recently released "Espresso," which is on track to become this summer's biggest hit.
But Carpenter is no stranger to the spotlight. Her singing and acting career spans over a decade and includes appearances on Disney Channel TV shows and movies, including "Girl Meets World" and "Adventures in Babysitting."
From child star to pop princess, Carpenter has honed her style just as she has her career. She's become synonymous with playful minidresses onstage and daring sheer looks on the red carpet.
Here's a look at Carpenter's fashion evolution.
During one of her early red-carpet appearances for Nickelodeon in 2014, Carpenter experimented with edgy footwear and darker tones.
She wore a black playsuit cinched at the waist with a silver belt. Carpenter coordinated with a bold silver necklace, keeping her hair in loose, natural curls.
Being around 5 feet tall, Carpenter is known for wearing platform footwear. This early red-carpet appearance, where she wore a pair of black-and-gold laced platform heels with bedazzled stockings, was no different.
She attended her first Emmys in a gothic Gemy Maalouf gown.
The gown featured silver embroidery and a semi-sheer skirt. Carpenter paired it with black strappy heels and a gray marbled clutch.
In 2017, Carpenter was spotted rocking daring fashion in the front row at notable runway shows.
For example, at Coach's NYFW show that year, she wore a sheer skirt with a pink button-up, which she layered under a red biker jacket decorated with poppies and black-and-white lace trim. She completed the look with black stilettos.
That year, she also started experimenting with more daring looks while performing.
In July 2017, she took to the stage in LA wearing a sheer lace dress over black zip-up shorts. Carpenter coordinated her all-black look with chunky black boot heels with gold sequins.
For her first VMAs appearance in 2018, the "Espresso" singer wore an asymmetrical Versace gown, complete with a high collar and slit.
She paired the bandage-style dress with nude pointed-toe heels, white nail polish, and minimal jewelry. She styled her hair in a loose bun.
Carpenter put her signature playful spin on the power suit at the 2019 premiere of "Tall Girl."
She ditched a shirt and accessorized her 1970s-inspired silver look with a dramatic pink dew-drop earring.
The pop princess went all in on the "naked" dress trend at the 2020 MTV Movie and TV Awards.
Her sparkly see-through gown, designed by Ralph and Russo, had one long sleeve. She wore it with black lingerie and platform heels.
Carpenter mastered edginess when she arrived at the 2021 Savage X Fenty Show premiere wearing a white T-shirt as a dress.
The minidress was cinched at the waist with a black studded belt. She leaned into the show's sultry aesthetic with wet hair and red lipstick.
She nailed the 2022 Met Gala's "Gilded Glamour" dress code in a gold ensemble designed by Julien Dossena at Paco Rabanne.
The heavy sequin-and-rhinestone ensemble consisted of a flowing high-waisted skirt and a coordinating bralette. She completed the look with Jimmy Choo heels.
Carpenter described the event as her "Super Bowl" to Vogue and praised her outfit for being "shockingly comfortable," adding to her confidence.
Later that year, Carpenter walked the American Music Awards red carpet in a silver fringed Oscar de la Renta two-piece.
The outfit consisted of a fringed crop top and miniskirt. She accessorized with coordinating silver jewelry and heels.
She partnered with Paco Rabanne again for her daring 2023 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party look.
Her dress featured a ruched white skirt and a semi-sheer top with floral accents around the chest and wrists.
In 2023, Carpenter started opening for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, where she fully leaned into her love for miniskirts and sparkles.
She wore one of her most memorable Eras Tour looks during a Buenos Aires show in November. Her all-white outfit was made up of a $642 Seen Users corset decorated with crystal hearts, a coordinating $450 Dominnico leather skirt, and glittery custom-made Naked Wolfe heels.
Carpenter brought an element of her daring onstage fashion to the red carpet at a pre-Grammys gala in February.
For the event, she wore a black David Koma gown with a silver rose embellishment, turtleneck, and thigh-high slit.
Carpenter was one of the most talked-about performers at Coachella, where she wore a baby-blue look with a matching moto jacket.
Carpenter looked in her element onstage at Coachella, wearing a bespoke pastel-blue Frolov minidress with lace trim and silver heart detailing. She completed her outfit with a coordinating cropped vintage leather jacket and a $480 pair of metallic Givenchy sunglasses.
