Sabrina Carpenter surprised fans with a fresh look at the Dior Homme Menswear show during Paris Fashion Week.
The 26-year-old singer ditched her usual daring style for a chic, grey pleated skirt suit.

She wore a fitted grey blazer, cinched at the waist, paired with a knee-length skirt. Her outfit was a sharp contrast to the bold stage costumes fans have seen her wear at global events.
Sabrina Carpenter completed her look with nude peep-toe heels. She kept her blonde hair off her face with a simple black hair slide, according to Daily Mail.
The Espresso hitmaker greeted fans with a smile as she arrived to see Dior’s Spring-Summer 2026 collection.
“I wanted something elegant and timeless for today,” Carpenter said to reporters. “It’s fun to surprise people sometimes.”
OTHER CELEBRITY GUESTS
Rihanna, who is expecting her third child, arrived with A$AP Rocky. Donatella Versace, Daniel Craig, and Robert Pattinson also attended.
But Carpenter’s look stood out for its understated grace. “I love how Sabrina switched it up,” one fan commented. “She looked so classy.”
Sabrina Carpenter’s appearance comes just after controversy over her new album cover for Man’s Best Friend.
The original cover, which showed her on all fours with a faceless man tugging her hair, drew criticism from some fans and a domestic violence charity.

In response, Sabrina Carpenter released an alternative, black-and-white cover. In it, she poses in a retro gown, holding a man.
“This new cover is approved by God,” Carpenter joked on social media. Fans reacted with humour and support.
“Approved by the big guy himself, love that!” wrote one follower. Another added, “You look divine in every one!”
Despite the backlash, Sabrina Carpenter kept both covers. The new image features on the cassette version, while the original remains on the CD.
A RISING STAR
Both options are available for fans worldwide, including South Africa. The album is priced at around R400 for the standard edition and R450 for the special cassette version, making it accessible to local fans.
Sabrina Carpenter’s ability to adapt and respond to criticism resonates with audiences everywhere. As one South African fan put it, “She’s not afraid to be herself, and that’s inspiring.”
With her latest Paris appearance, Carpenter proves she can set trends both on stage and on the red carpet. South African fans can expect more surprises from this rising star.
