Bravo, Sabrina
Sabrina Carpenter’s outfit is the latest to cause a stir from the Met Gala red carpet.
The ‘Please Please Please’ singer is no stranger to causing controversy – just take a look at the so-called ‘Juno’ positions she’s acted out while on her recent international Short n’ Sweet tour.
Now, Carpenter is the latest to rock up to the Met Gala red carpet, serving up an outfit that adheres to this year’s dress code while giving a gracious nod to the hit that catapulted her to fame.As it’s fashion’s biggest night of the year, dozens of Hollywood’s VIPs are already strutting the red carpet in all their glitzy fits, all to raise funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in Manhattan, New York.

This year’s theme follows the constructs of ‘Black dandyism,’ aligning with the Costume Institute’s ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ exhibition from May 10 to October 26.
The theme has been picked to examine the ‘importance of clothing and style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora,’ according to Vogue, and is the first exhibition since 2003’s ‘Men in Skirts’ that focuses on menswear.However, the dress code invites attendees to make it ‘Tailored for You,’ focusing on a variety of tailored suiting styles and menswear with some generous wiggle room for interpretation.
And it appears the ‘Espresso’ hitmaker has done exactly that, opting for a espresso-colored leotard with tailored espresso-colored blazer to boot and a trail resembling ties in – you guessed it, espresso color, with only a dash of white around the collar.
