Sabrina Carpenter stole the spotlight at Dior’s Cruise 2027 show on May 13, arriving in a piece from the collection before it even hit the runway. The 27-year-old singer stepped onto the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) red carpet in a buttery yellow ruffled sheer dress that left little to the imagination.
As soon as photos hit the Internet, the look instantly sparked a wave of mixed reactions, with some criticizing the dress while others declared she looked radiant in the sunny hue.
Sabrina Carpenter Stuns In Yellow Sheer Dress
Sabrina Carpenter was reportedly the only major guest to appear in a pre-runway wear, stunning in the collection’s inaugural look.
Her outfit featured a sleeveless, semi-sheer silhouette in a soft buttery yellow tone, crafted with pleated layers of translucent fabric. A high neckline with a trailing shawl detail added drama, while deep side cuts offered flashes of skin as she moved.
The loose-fitting gown flowed into a voluminous drop-waist skirt, gathered in soft yellow and white tones, with floral embellishments around the hips. Under the sheer layer, Carpenter styled the look with white lacy lingerie, paired with yellow open-toe heels and a matching handbag.
Her blonde hair was worn half up and half down, tied with a white ribbon that complemented the pastel palette of her overall ensemble.
The Look Sparks Mixed Reactions
Fan pages have been circulating the look on X, calling the “Manchild” singer a “fashion icon.” But not every fan felt the same. One claimed “Dior did her dirty” for the dress, another said she looked “stunning, but the dress is a disaster,” while a third user simply wrote, “I hate this dress.”
Online users also talked about her height, noting how “short” she appeared in the dress. “For the first time, she looks short, it’s so sweet,” someone commented. Many were actually impressed with the dress and how the color “suits her skin tone.” One admirer summed it up by saying she “eats every red carpet like it’s nothing.”
Fans Loved Her Birthday D&G Look
One of Sabrina Carpenter’s more universally praised recent looks came from her birthday celebrations on May 11, where she wore a purple Dolce & Gabbana dress.
Posing between a packed bookshelf and a fireplace, she turned heads with her blonde curls framing a soft makeup look, while the plunging knee-length dress with a spiraling fringe design hugged her curves.
“That dress was made for you,” a fan gushed. Another added, “Purple looks so good on you.” Aside from the compliments on the look, her comments section was flooded with heartwarming birthday wishes from celebrities, major brands, and fans.

The look instantly went viral, with fans calling it one of the night’s best. On Instagram, many praised the creativity and execution of the design, declaring she “ate” the red carpet, as usual.

This look didn’t make it to Sabrina Carpenter’s Instagram feed, but fans were obsessed, calling it “exquisite.” She rocked the vintage Bob Mackie outfit to Anna Wintour’s pre-Met Gala dinner, serving “pure elegance with a dangerous edge.”
