Sabrina Carpenter has not only gifted us with two of 2024’s biggest hits, ‘Espresso’ and ‘Please Please Please’, but she’s also brought back the era of classic, glamorous style, both on stage and on the red carpet. Her choice of attire for the VMAs, a dazzling silver Bob Mackie dress inspired by Marilyn Monroe and first worn by Madonna at the 1991 Oscars, perfectly exemplifies this. This stunning dress, curated by stylist Jared Ellner, is just one example of Carpenter’s penchant for vintage pieces.
Another notable example is the white lace minidress from Gucci’s spring/summer 1996 collection, originally graced by Kate Moss on the runway, which Carpenter donned at the VMA after-parties. Her appreciation for fashion history is clear. For her 25th birthday, she paid homage to Kate Hudson’s iconic yellow slip dress from ‘How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ by sourcing a similar piece from Depop.
Carpenter’s style isn’t limited to iconic pieces. She’s also been spotted in rare John Galliano designs and sporting 90s Roberto Cavalli while performing. With her star power continuously rising, we can’t wait to see what other treasures she unearths from the fashion archives. In the meantime, let’s take a closer look at her best vintage looks to date.
