Sabrina Carpenter Swaps Her Sultry Silver Chainmail Dress for a Babydoll LBD
The girl has range, and not just on the vocal scale.


Inside each of us, there are two wolves—in Sabrina Carpenter's case, one is a Victoria's Secret lingerie-wearing, lifesize Polly Pocket and the other is an ultra glamorous Marilyn Monroe lookalike. Her aesthetic ping-pongs back and forth between the two, often tapping into the former during on-stage performances and the latter for red carpets. And yesterday, she served both in the same night.
On Oct. 9, the "Please Please Please" singer attended the 2024 TIME100 Next celebration in New York City looking every bit the glamazon. She was swathed in silver chainmail—the fabrication of choice for her sultry alter ego—sparkling from head to toe.
Her Versace-coded gown, styled by Jared Ellner, featured a massive thigh slit, a fitted bodice, and a sweetheart neckline—all signatures of the star. At her neck, glinted a matching metallic scarf, which she wore backward like a choker. Carpenter's platform pumps, too, were on theme, in shiny silver.

Her lips matched the look's high-shine factor, coated in a reflective, brick-colored gloss. Meanwhile, Carpenter's blonde bombshell curls were swirled into elegant, vintage-inspired spirals.
Her hair was styled in glamorous curls and her lips glossy.
Later that evening, the vibes shifted drastically. She employed her secondary look, which aligned with her babydoll persona. Dressed all in black, Carpenter wore a teddy-inspired Versace swing dress that was fitted with satin trim. A big advocate of the all-bow-everything trend, her mini featured a dainty knot at the neck, which was topped with the brand's medusa logo.
She kept her same glam, but changed into patent leather peep-toe pumps and a added a pair of sheer tights, the official marker of the beginning of fall.

Though they're both wildly different, each of these looks feel authentically Carpenter.
