Sabrina Carpenter Is a Scene-Stealer in a Cinched Blazer and Skirt at Dior’s Menswear Show

THE RUNDOWN

• Sabrina Carpenter attended her first Dior fashion show in Paris today, supporting creative director Jonathan Anderson as he debuted his first menswear collection for the house.
• Carpenter wore a cinched gray blazer and skirt that evoked Dior’s famous New Look.
• Carpenter has been promoting her upcoming album, Man’s Best Friend, and touring in Europe.

Sabrina Carpenter took a break from touring and promoting her upcoming album, Man’s Best Friend, this afternoon and joined Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, and other stars at the Dior menswear show in Paris. The collection marks creative director Jonathan Anderson’s debut at the French fashion house.

Carpenter channeled Dior’s iconic New Look, wearing a blazer cinched at the waist with a pleated gray midi skirt. Her blonde hair was styled straight with curled ends. She added a black barrette, which matched her black Lady Dior bag.

This is Carpenter’s first Dior show, and she made the most of the milestone as she posed for photos:

Carpenter made headlines this week when she introduced the alternate cover for Man’s Best Friend after her initial cover sparked widespread discussion. “Here is a new alternate cover approved by God,” she wrote on Instagram.

Earlier this month, Carpenter spoke to Rolling Stone about her decision to release a new album while on tour for her 2024 album, Short n’ Sweet. “If I really wanted to, I could have stretched out Short n’ Sweet much, much longer,” she said. “But I’m at that point in my life where I’m like, ‘Wait a second, there’s no rules.’ If I’m inspired to write and make something new, I would rather do that. Why would I wait three years just for the sake of waiting three years? It’s all about what feels right. I’m learning to listen to that a lot more, instead of what is perceived as the right or wrong move.”

Of Man’s Best Friend, she said, “I’m living in the glory of no one hearing it or knowing about it, and so I can not care. I can not give a fuck about it [feedback], because I’m just so excited.”

She added of its creation process, “I’ve really just been making things, excited about them, and then continuing forth. Not to be dramatic, but what can I do while my legs still work? I’m limber, let’s use it. My brain is sharp, let’s write. I try not to get sad about the fact that nothing lasts forever, but genuinely, it’s such a beautiful time right now. I want to soak it up and keep making things while I’m feeling this way.”
