“I’m working late, because I’m a singer” - the TikTok-viral jingle coined by Sabrina Carpenter that has been sufficiently burned into our brains since it entered the internet ether.
The grip the singer holds over Gen Z is not to be undermined. She is a beacon of mystique. From her musical catalogue that features a plethora of chart-topping tunes to her now-public relationship with Barry Keoghan, Sabrina is carving out a new chapter of pop culture.

From party-girl mini dresses a là Cavalli to preppy Miu Miu polos, operatic Oscar de la Renta gowns and sultry David Koma ensembles, there aren’t many brand boxes Sabrina hasn’t ticked off. Cute, kittenish style is very much intertwined with her DNA, often executed with a helping hand from her platinum blonde Malibu-Barbie mane and peachy makeup looks.
The singer’s Disney roots have no doubt framed her unapologetically girlish wardrobe. Sabrina jettisoned onto the scene while starring on Disney Channel’s Girl Meets World in 2014. Varsity jackets, Peter Pan collars and the regular frosting of white lace helped to curate her all-American aesthetic.

Cue the slew of noteworthy style moments that bolstered Sabrina’s pop princess reputation. The star bid farewell to her former Noughties get-up, favouring playful party-girl pieces sourced from fashion’s most celebrated labels.
Be it her rapid accession up the pop culture ladder or even the influence of her Burberry poster-boy beau Barry Keoghan, Sabrina’s style remains a point of fashion fixation for Gen Z. Is it that sweet? I guess so.
From Coach to Coachella, discover the ins and outs of Sabrina’s style evolution below.
