Sabrina Carpenter absolutely stole the spotlight at the 2025 Met Gala with a daring choice—ditching pants altogether for a striking tuxedo-style bodysuit. This marked her third time gracing the iconic event, and arguably her boldest and most unforgettable look yet.
Styled by none other than Pharrell Williams, Louis Vuitton’s men’s creative director, Sabrina took his advice literally: “You’re quite short, so no pants for you.” And she owned it with confidence.
Her ensemble was a rich burgundy bodysuit, adorned with sparkling buttons, a crisp white collar, and a sweeping dramatic train that added just the right amount of theatrical flair. To elevate the look, Sabrina layered on diamonds—necklaces, rings, and even an anklet—showing off a sparkle game as strong as her outfit. She also rocked her signature “super-high shoes,” a staple of her style.
In a fun Vogue chat, she quipped about the practical side of her outfit: “Never been to the bathroom once because I’ve never been able to use it in my outfit. So tonight might be the night.” Clearly, the fashion stakes were high!
Looking back, Sabrina’s Met Gala journey shows a clear evolution: her 2022 debut was a shimmering Paco Rabanne gown, and last year she appeared in a dreamy Oscar de la Renta dress inspired by “The Garden of Time,” alongside then-boyfriend Barry Keoghan.
This year’s theme, “Tailored for You,” was part of the spring 2025 exhibit Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, celebrating Black dandyism and identity through fashion—perfectly fitting Pharrell’s role as co-chair alongside Colman Domingo and Anna Wintour.
From custom couture to a fearless no-pants moment, Sabrina Carpenter continues to claim the Met Gala carpet with fearless style. And with her Short n’ Sweet tour looming, she’s clearly just getting started—pants or not.
