10 Sabrina Carpenter Outfits to Copy for ‘Short n’ Sweet’

There’s no denying that it’s been a major year for Sabrina Carpenter. A former Disney star who’s been steadily releasing music to her dedicated fanbase ever since, she suddenly became one of the biggest pop artists in April with the explosive release of “Espresso,” which alternated at #1 status with her next single, “Please Please Please,” for the bulk of the summer. The world has absolutely fallen for Carpenter’s cheeky lyrics and equally chaotic aesthetic, and her Short n’ Sweet album tour is one of this fall’s hottest tickets. If you’re looking to embody her pop-star style for an upcoming concert or any other occasion, the key is leaning into retro and coquette details with a modern twist—and we’ve rounded up plenty of said inspo below, straight from the talent’s own ensembles. Read on for 10 Sabrina Carpenter outfit ideas to bring a dose of espresso to your style, complete with product picks that emulate her good taste.

Out-of-Office Siren

From the pinstripes to the eyeglasses, this outfit that Carpenter wore in Paris feels aligned with the office siren aesthetic—but still decidedly fun enough to wear out and about. Business casual at the club, anyone? The star’s effortless styling and confidence has us convinced.

Bring the Drama

This “Feather” music video look has less than six degrees of separation from a certain indictment (no, really), but most importantly, it’s a simply unforgettable ensemble that translates well to everyday wear. To get this playful look, start with a cheeky graphic tee and baseball cap, pair that with an indie sleaze mini skirt, then top everything off with chunky jewelry and over-the-ear headphones.

Riviera Dream

This short and sweet dress that Carpenter wore in the “Espresso” music video was right on top of this past summer’s milkmaid sundress trend. To adapt the look for colder temps, add a chunky cardigan (as the star notably has in the boat with her), then slip on a pair of on-trend motorcycle boots for a bit of edge.

Golden Girl

A Taurus icon, it comes as no surprise that Carpenter would throw an unforgettable, all-out 25th birthday bash complete with a sparkly ensemble and a Leo DiCaprio meme cake (if you know, you know). Whether you have a party of your own soon or are simply looking to shine for an upcoming night out, you can’t go wrong with a sequined yellow mini dress, matching sandals, and a luxe necklace.

‘Short n’ Sweet’ Meets ‘Brat’

If you can’t decide between the Short n’ Sweet aesthetic and leaning into Brat autumn (which Charli XCX has very much proclaimed to be happening), this unexpected Sabrina Carpenter outfit is a stellar choice. Start with a simple black bodysuit and exaggerated wide leg jeans, then take the look from staple to statement with a cape-like plaid jacket, an edgy white handbag, and ultra-cool sporty shades.

Bed Chem

A lot of Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet-era outfits are elevated lingerie looks, such as this vintage Victoria’s Secret slip from 1997 that she wore while promoting “Espresso.” While the look on its own is a stunning choice for a slumber party or date night in, you can also adapt it for going out—just add a robe coat and some platform pumps.

Main Character

It always feels fresh when Carpenter brings her signature cheeky coquette aesthetic to a street style look, and that’s exactly what she did when sightseeing around Tokyo in between shows. She built her look around a classic yet on-trend plaid vest and skirt set, styling it with bow-adorned fishnets, a black shoulder bag, and a braided hairstyle to make it extra sweet.

Pop Star Off Duty

In another off-duty tour moment, Carpenter leaned into classic European vibes by topping off her casual outfit—a fluttery white button-down, loose jeans, a crossbody bag, and black boots—with an oxblood beret. The look is comfortable yet just put-together enough to turn heads.

Ice Princess

It’s never too early to daydream about potential holiday looks, and this all-silver ensemble beautifully toes the line between hyperfemininity and space siren style. The sequined mini skirt and fluffy cropped jacket are key statement pieces, and the outfit is otherwise up to you—the monochromatic palette ensures you’ll look put-together for a whole range of occasions.

Woke Up Like This

One of the best parts of Carpenter’s overall energy is that she makes her playful aesthetic look like it comes naturally, and that’s exactly the vibe here with this dressed-down London look. It couldn’t be easier to recreate—just grab a white button-down, denim jorts, black knee-high boots, a shoulder bag, and glasses—yet its impact is massive.
