Sabrina Carpenter Poses For Vogue Italia

Sabrina recently thrilled fans with a collaboration with Vogue Italy. The Grammy Award-winning singer shared a 3-slide carousel of some pictures from the shoot, tagging Vogue Italia and the acclaimed photographer who took the photos in the caption.

Every picture in the slide was black and white, with Sabrina rocking different pieces that spoke to the vintage retro era.

The first slide was a picture of Sabrina in what appeared to be a bridge pose. The singer had her head and shoulders on the ground, her hair spread loosely around her as she directed a smoldering expression at the camera. Her back was arched so that her hips and torso were lifted off the ground while her feet stayed put.

In the next slide, Carpenter lay on her side, angling one foot in front of the other. Her right arm was bent, supporting her head, while the other extended behind her to hold her left foot.

Sabrina In Vintage Glamour

Sabrina rocked several vintage-inspired outfits in the shoot.

At first glance, she paired a black bralette with high-waisted minishorts. The shorts had slits at the side and stopped just below mid-bum, giving fans a sneak peek of her butt cheeks. Over the shorts, she wore a clunky chain belt, adding a touch of sparkle to the look. She then finished it off with some vintage pump heels.

In the next slide, she looked to be wearing a silk bodysuit with lace trimming under a stylish jacket. In the last slide, she wore vintage silk underwear under a fur coat.

Every part of the shoot screamed retro elegance, from the outfits to her makeup and the shoulder-length, voluminous bob.

Fans Cry Foul

The comments and likes poured in immediately, with the post getting 2.7 million likes and 6,900 comments.

Predominant in the comment section were compliments like "iconic," "so pretty," and "wow."

However, some fans were quick to spot disparities, stating that the Sabrina Carpenter in the picture looked different from the one they knew, i.e., the photo had been overly edited.

One fan's comment, "incredibly photoshopped," got over 100 likes, and several other fans also expressed their displeasure at the editing. "Why did they edit her waist?" one asked. "The level of Photoshop is crazy," another commented. "The first two photos don't even look like her," said another.

Sabrina Carpenter Headlines Coachella 2026

Sabrina Carpenter will be headlining Coachella 2025 right beside fan favorites Justin Bieber and Karol G.

The multiple award winner announced this on her social page alongside a short video from her previous Coachella performance, where she promised them she'd see them again, this time as a headliner.

The post captioned "woman of my word" served as a reminder that with hard work and perseverance, anything is possible.

The Singer Rocks A Sheer Dress To The VMA

Sabrina rocked a sheer red dress to the VMA. The bold number was made from red lace, under which she wore a skimpy flesh-colored inner so that it looked like she was wearing nothing underneath.

The elegant floor-length dress hugged her upper body before pinching at the waist and flowing down into a glittering pool at her feet. Its intricate embroidery sparkled with every turn, adding drama to the already spectacular dress.

Carpenter upped the ante with a pink fur scarf, which she hung on her arms as she posed on the red carpet.

The pop icon was a sight to behold, and her fans couldn't agree more, flooding the comment section with compliments like "jaw on the floor" and "epic."
