Right pet, before anybody panics and thinks this is about wandering around Tesco in your nightie – breathe.
Sabrina Carpenter’s style is not really about wearing lingerie for shock value. It’s more playful than that. Think vintage glamour, soft confidence and a little bit of “aye, I know I look canny” energy.
That’s the real magic.
Sabrina’s look pulls from old Hollywood, Y2K fashion and lingerie-inspired details like lace, corset shapes and babydoll silhouettes. It sounds dramatic on paper, but when styled properly it can actually look sweet, polished and surprisingly wearable.
The first thing to understand is that you do not need to copy her outfit piece for piece.
Please don’t bankrupt yourself trying to become a pop star by Tuesday.
The trick is taking inspiration rather than imitation.
One of Sabrina’s signature looks is the corset-inspired top. Now before you imagine Victorian fainting couches and restricted breathing, modern corset styling is much softer. Structured tops with shaping seams or lace-up details give that same flattering feel without looking costume-y. Worn with jeans, tailored trousers or a mini skirt, they add shape without trying too hard. Lingerie-inspired fashion has become a proper mainstream trend rather than something hidden underneath clothes.
Then there’s the babydoll influence.
Sabrina loves floaty, romantic pieces with bows, lace and playful silhouettes. These styles have roots in vintage nightwear but have crossed into everyday fashion in a softer, more styled way.
Now, here’s where some girls get it wrong.
They pile on every trend at once.
Lace top. Tiny skirt. Massive heels. Glitter. Big hair. Fur jacket. Suddenly you’re not giving pop princess – you’re giving “lost property box at a hen party.”
Balance is your best mate.
If you’re wearing something delicate or lingerie-inspired on top, keep the rest simple. A lace camisole under an oversized blazer? Lovely. Corset-style top with relaxed denim? Gorgeous. Satin or lace details with clean makeup and simple jewellery? Dead stylish.
Sabrina’s style works because there’s contrast.
Soft and structured. Sweet and confident.
Colour plays a big role too. She often leans towards soft pinks, cream, powder blue, black and champagne shades, mixed with sparkle or feminine details. Pastels and romantic colours help create that dreamy, vintage feel. Her wardrobe mixes playful glamour with confidence rather than looking overly serious.
And can we talk about confidence for a second?
Because this matters more than the outfit.
You can buy the prettiest lace top in Newcastle but if you’re pulling it down every five seconds and looking uncomfortable, it won’t feel right. Sabrina’s style works because she looks comfortable in herself.
That’s the bit worth copying.
So if you fancy trying the look, start small.
A satin cami.
A corset-inspired top.
A soft lace detail.
Maybe a cute babydoll-style blouse or dress with boots or trainers to make it feel more everyday.
You don’t need a stylist or backstage dressing room, pet.
Just a little confidence and clothes that make you feel like yourself – with a bit more sparkle.
