Man’s best friend? More like a woman's best friend, what with all the inspiration Sabrina Carpenter’s outfits from her latest album and hit single, Manchild, are serving!
It’s girl-next-door-meets-femme-fatale, with a whiplash contrast between black lace and floral wallpapers, baby blues and pinks, pinned curls and glossy black minis. If you’re anything like us, you’re obsessed, too. We’re here to help you nail the look, with this definitely not slow or useless guide to capturing the vibe.
Baby pink and blue if your mood swings match the tracklist
Someone in the office called Sabrina Carpenter’s iconic outfits hyper-femme with a raised eyebrow, and we don’t think there could be a better description. It’s like a baby pink or baby blue dress paired with a leather biker jacket, or a satin corset mini paired with ruched mesh overlays (or ruffle hems). Soft, but sharp, you know? And a sultry lip, of course.
Keep the Mini, Lose the Man
Sabrina Carpenter's music video outfits absolutely served with an unbothered, but hot vibe, giving petty, but oh so powerful. That blue mini dress outfit paired with the fur jacket and 80s-influenced curls? Oooh, boy. She didn’t just wear that ‘fit, she weaponized it.
First track, first rule: never underestimate a mini. Strapless, ruched, satin, or asymmetric; take your pick. It’s all about sharp silhouettes and even sharper exits up in here, and let’s be real, sometimes the best closure is a killer outfit. A black mini dress might not fix that manchild of yours, but it’ll for sure make you look lethal while mentally drafting his replacement.
Sugar Talking in Sweet Classy Lace
We need to talk about lace. We’re talking 80’s pop-rock princess here, not your grandma’s doilies. Lace is gonna be your best friend when it comes to mastering Sabrina Carpenter-inspired outfits. Why? ‘Cause lace dresses are the ultimate flirty, feminine, and, it’s even a little dangerous.
If you’re embracing your inner manchild-eater, then a sheer lace mini is the moment. Feeling something more lowkey? Tone it down a bit with a long-sleeve dress that features lace contract panels for that fitted, sexy but vintage edge. Add a dramatic sleeve or a surprise cut-out, and you’ve officially crossed into sorry-not-subtle territory.
My Man on Willpower When I’m Wearing This Corset
The Sabrina Carpenter tour outfits taught us all a really important lesson: corsets can be cutesy and they’re definitely not just for the bedroom. We personally love a layered look, like pairing a corset top with jeans or throwing it over some mesh, but it’s all about confidence. Show off that boning, those mesh panels, or the lace-up back, and don’t be afraid to do it.
WARNING: may cause any manchilds from your past to come-a-running back to you, so wear with caution.
When Did Florals Get Hot?
Is there any surprise that someone who can master sweet but sexy could make florals look sensual? If we look at our Sabrina Carpenter outfit inspo and her alternate album cover’s set full of flowers, it’s all about making soft sexy yet obviously so divine, without it being tacky. So, showing a little skin with some cut-outs or a sheer overlay, but balance it with asymmetry or a ruffle sleeve floral dress.
Goodbye to Dressing for Anyone Else
When it comes down to it, if you want to walk in someone’s shoes and really put that Sabrina Carpenter-inspired outfit to the test, you literally need the shoes. And Sabrina’s are HIGH. It’s time to trade in the sneakers for some heels, because we’re here for the sugar and spice, but definitely not so nice vibe.
