Just when fans thought they had Sabrina Carpenter all figured out, the pop star flipped the script during Paris Fashion Week—and she did it in style.
Stepping away from her signature bold looks and stage-ready glam, Sabrina delivered something totally unexpected: subtle elegance.
A New Look for Dior
Sabrina, 26, made waves at the Dior Homme Menswear show by debuting a completely different fashion vibe.
Gone were the sparkles and skin-baring outfits. Instead, she rocked a tailored grey skirt suit—complete with a cinched blazer and matching pleated knee-length skirt.
She tied the look together with nude peep-toe heels and a simple black hair slide that pulled her blonde hair away from her face.
Fans were stunned—in the best way. “It’s fun to surprise people sometimes,” she told reporters.
“I wanted something elegant and timeless for today.”
Standing Out Among A-Listers
With Paris Fashion Week always packed with celebrities, it takes something special to turn heads—and Sabrina did just that.
Rihanna, glowing and expecting her third child, arrived with A$AP Rocky.
Donatella Versace, Daniel Craig, and Robert Pattinson were also spotted.
But Sabrina stood out for keeping it classy and minimalist.
One fan put it perfectly: “I love how Sabrina switched it up. She looked so classy.”
The Album Cover Controversy
Her Paris appearance comes on the heels of some drama surrounding the cover art for her latest album, Man’s Best Friend.
The original version showed her on all fours, with a faceless man holding her hair—a concept that some fans, as well as a domestic violence charity, called out as problematic.
Sabrina Responds with Humor—and a New Cover
In response to the backlash, Sabrina released an alternate black-and-white album cover.
This one showed her in a vintage-style gown, holding a man instead.
And of course, she didn’t miss the chance to keep things playful.
“This new cover is approved by God,” she joked online.
Fans jumped in with support and laughs. “Approved by the big guy himself, love that!” said one.
Another wrote, “You look divine in every one!”
Both Covers Stay—Here’s Where to Find Them
Despite the criticism, Sabrina is keeping both versions.
The original will appear on the CD, while the alternate, more classic version features on the cassette.
Both are available globally, including in South Africa, where fans can snag the standard album for around R400 and the cassette version for R450.
Fans Praise Sabrina’s Authenticity
Whether it’s bold stage looks or calm grey suits, one thing fans agree on is that Sabrina isn’t afraid to be herself.
A South African fan summed it up: “She’s not afraid to be herself, and that’s inspiring.”
What’s Next for the Rising Star?
Between red carpet moments and fearless music choices, Sabrina Carpenter is proving she’s more than just a pop star—she’s a cultural force.
With her album making waves and her fashion keeping fans on their toes, it’s safe to say we haven’t seen the last surprise from her.
