Sabrina Carpenter’s ensemble has become one of the most talked-about outfits from the Met Gala red carpet.
The ‘Please Please Please’ singer is accustomed to stirring up controversy, as evidenced by her recent international Short n’ Sweet tour, where she engaged in what some have termed ‘Juno’ positions.
Now, Carpenter has made a striking entrance at the Met Gala, wearing an outfit that aligns with this year’s dress code while paying homage to the song that brought her into the limelight.
With fashion’s most significant night in full swing, numerous Hollywood stars are gracing the red carpet in glamorous attire, all in support of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in Manhattan, New York.
The theme for this year’s event centers around ‘Black dandyism,’ in conjunction with the Costume Institute’s ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ exhibition, running from May 10 to October 26.
The dress code encourages guests to embrace ‘Tailored for You,’ highlighting various tailored suiting styles and menswear, while allowing room for personal interpretation.
Sabrina Carpenter has embraced this directive, choosing an espresso-colored leotard with a matching tailored blazer and a trailing detail, all in espresso hues, complemented by a touch of white around the collar.
Fans quickly took to social media to express their admiration for her outfit.
“She is so Espresso! Heck yes!” exclaimed one Twitter user, while another added, “Espresso suit I LOVE. Sabrina Carpenter the woman you are.”
Another fan commented, “Looking like a freshly brewed cup of espresso!”
“She GOT THE ASSIGNMENT!!!!,” shared an enthusiastic supporter.
However, not everyone was enamored with the look. While acknowledging it was ‘on brand’ for her, some expressed a desire for something more from the star.
“Cute,” commented one person. “Just wish she would do something different to her hair.”
“It’s cute kinda expected more but she definitely serving espresso,” agreed another, while a third suggested, “This would have looked so good with a different bottom silhouette like a dramatic skirt or pant.”
“I think it’s cute and I love my girl but she played it very safe and that’s so not what the Met is for!!!” another chimed in.
Carpenter’s look isn’t the only one capturing attention tonight, with Sydney Sweeney’s all-black ballroom-esque outfit and Simone Biles’ short blue dress also making waves.
