Sabrina Carpenter’s bold approach to dressing made her a style star to watch in 2023, following a rising trajectory on the red carpet.
Since her teenage years, Carpenter’s fashion presence has grown — with sharp heels to match. The “Girl Meets World” actress expanded her style streak with an array of pointed-toe pumps and heeled sandals from labels including Christian Louboutin in the 2010’s, complete with outings to New York Fashion Week. As the 2020’s began, the star soared with additional music and perfume releases — and did so literally, thanks to an array of towering platform sandals and boots seen from Fashion Month front rows to the Jingle Ball stage.
Below, we take a look back at Carpenter’s style transformation over the years.
Carpenter’s first forays into fashion began in the late 2010’s. At New York Fashion Week in Sept. 2015, the 16-year-old actress attended Alice + Olivia’s spring2016 presentation at Skylight at Clarkson Square in a sharp pair of smooth black pumps. The pointed-toe set added a formal finish to her outfit for the occasion, designed by Stacey Bendet: a butterfly-printed miniskirt and sparkly gold top, layered beneath a draped black blazer.
Carpenter continued her penchant for sharp pumps during New York Fashion Week in 2021, stepping out for Michael Kors’ spring 2022 runway show. For the occasion, the actress struck a pose in white leather pointed-toe pumps. The neutral set added a retro flair to her monochrome front-row look, naturally by Kors: a ruby red ribbed knit turtleneck minidress, layered beneath a glossy, smooth trench coat.
In 2023, Carpenter made the rounds during Paris Fashion Week’s couture shows to kick off the year. While at Elie Saab’s spring 2023 runway show, the musician posed in a dynamic pair of black leather peep-toe sandals with towering stiletto heels. The slick set added a sharp burst of elevation to her ruffled black minidress, which was elevated with lace paneling and gleaming sequins.
