Celebrity Style
Twitter has dubbed her the queen of “Bratz girl fashion.”
Sabrina Carpenter low-key slays every time she steps out. And I’m not the only one who thinks so — just ask Fashion Twitter, which has dubbed the musician’s style “Bratz girl fashion.”
Strangely enough, Carpenter’s style isn’t celebrated as much as it should be. That can (and must) be remedied — especially, given that the “Nonsense” singer has been steadily cementing her status as a fashion week regular, attending New York and Paris legs to sit in the front row of her favorite designers’ shows.
She also rocked her Met Gala appearance, adding brownie points to the fashion set. Plus, she’s been dressed by some of fashion’s most coveted designers, turning out on red carpets like a pro. The most fascinating — and utterly enjoyable — part of seeing her style evolution, however, is that she seems totally in-tuned with her personal style.
The Tall Girl star loves all sorts of cut-outs, from subtle and tiny to utterly exaggerated; she enjoys co-ord sets and bra tops; and she can glam up any look with her expert play on materials and textures. She definitely has her own fashion DNA, often leaning towards edgy glam Barbie.
Ahead, 15 of Carpenter’s best outfits from the red carpet and beyond. Because it’s time to recognize the artist’s style for what it is: a big slay.
2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party
Straight from Paco Rabanne’s Fall 2023 runway, Carpenter’s Oscars after-party look was a saucy sheer number equipped with bejeweled nipple pasties (a favorite of the night). Plus, the skirt’s low-cut draping made her look like a Greek statue.

Let’s all take a moment for this masterclass in proportions. Flawlessly elongating her silhouette, the “Nonsense” singer wore a teeny crop top with billowing sleeve details, paired with a micro mini with a long train.

Carpenter covered her crop top and undies co-ord set with a see-through, sequined mini skirt, to serve the popular no-pants look. Only she could turn the cheugy chevron print into something cool and current.
2023 Grammy’s After-Party
Mastering another of-the-moment trend, the Girl Meets World alum wore a saucy bra top and skirt set (with hip cut-outs, to boot) equipped with Carrie Bradshaw-approved rosettes. A slay from every angle.
PFW Spring 2023
The sequin and lace mini dress itself — with its shiny tiered ruffles — is already a scene-stealer. But styling the ‘fit with messy bangs and platform peep-toes only added to its effortlessly girly-punk vibe.
PFW Spring 2023
Proving she has major range, Carpenter went the Barbie doll route in a two-tone rose mini dress with cut-outs and yet another flowy train. Cue: Aqua’s “Barbie Girl.”

In this silver Oscar de la Renta bra and shorts set — equipped with hundreds of crystal embellishments — Carpenter was the picture of glamour.

Rihanna's Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 3
Carpenter’s Savage X Fenty Show look may just be a simple white tee, but with that studded belt and bold red lip? It’s a sizzling (pantsless) take I bet RiRi herself appreciated.
NYFW Spring 2022
The Tall Girl star wore a red-on-red patent leather coat and turtleneck dress to attend NYFW. Merchandised with white pointed pumps, Carpenter never looked so chic.

If you ever need proof that Carpenter is ahead of the fashion curve, here she was in 2020 taking on the exposed undies trend that’s all over today. Coincidence? I think not.

Even a simple, structured blazer dress looks oh-so-stylish (and not at all business casual boring) on Carpenter.
