Sabrina Carpenter, the Grammy-winning pop star, made a striking statement at the 2025 Met Gala held at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The theme, ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,’ celebrated Black dandyism and bespoke tailoring.

SABRINA CARPENTER’S LOOK

Carpenter embraced it with a daring twist – a pantsless Louis Vuitton ensemble designed by Pharrell Williams. Pharrell is the brand’s men’s creative director.

Carpenter’s outfit was a deep merlot pinstripe bodysuit paired with a cropped blazer featuring long tails, all custom-made to suit her petite stature.

Pharrell’s cheeky directive was simple: “You’re quite short, so no pants for you.”

The pop star happily obliged, strutting the blue carpet in sky-high burgundy platform heels that added to her retro pin-up glamour, according to People.

CRITICS SLAM SABRINA CARPENTER’S LOOK

The look was a confident embrace of individuality and perfectly fit the gala’s dress code.

Carpenter accessorised with a diamond anklet and a diamond chain clipped to her crisp white collar, while her platinum blonde hair and 60s-inspired makeup completed the ensemble.

However, not everyone was convinced. A social media user on X (formerly Twitter) criticised the outfit. They suggested it clashed with Carpenter’s “body type” and even posted a photoshopped alternative look.

Carpenter responded with humour, tweeting, “damn I f—– up,” showing she was unbothered by the critique and confident in her choice.

SABRINA CARPENTER AND PHARRELL

In a Vogue red carpet interview, Sabrina Carpenter explained the design’s origin and Pharrell’s involvement. “He was like, ‘You’re quite short, so no pants for you.’ So here we are.”

She also joked about the practicality of the outfit, admitting she had not yet figured out how to use the bathroom in it.

This was Carpenter’s third Met Gala appearance; she previously impressed in a gold Paco Rabanne gown in 2022 and an Oscar de la Renta dress in 2024.

This year’s look was a bold departure, showcasing her evolving style and fearless approach to fashion.

EMBRACING YOUR BODY

Carpenter’s confident response and unique style offer a refreshing example of embracing one’s body and personal flair.

It resonates with a culture that values individuality and bold self-expression. Her playful yet poised attitude reminds us that fashionis about owning your look, no matter what critics say.
