Monday night shone as one of the glittering pinnacles of the year for the elite circle of celebrities, as the annual Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, flaunted a guest list that rivaled the stars in the heavens. And this year, the spotlight was stolen by the radiant pop sensation, Sabrina Carpenter.
The official dress code for the 2025 Met Gala, themed around “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” the spring exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, whispered, “Tailored for you.” This directive, a homage to the exhibition’s emphasis on menswear, was deliberately crafted to serve as both a compass and an invitation to creative flair.
Sabrina embraced the theme with an ensemble that was both a nod to a classic brown pinstripe suit and a celebration of her renowned feminine charm, reminiscent of her vintage lingerie looks on stage. Her outfit comprised a skin-hugging “Espresso” brown pinstriped bodysuit, adorned with a snug-fitting, tailored jacket atop, complete with a built-in collar, giving it the illusion of an undershirt. The jacket’s two elongated tails trailed gracefully to the floor, mimicking the elegance of a dress train.
The stunning ensemble left onlookers mesmerized, as fans voiced their awe. One wrote on X, “Sabrina Carpenter looks like a walking espresso martini to me.” Another exclaimed, “I literally gasped aloud.” A third fan added, “My soul just floated away!” While someone else was simply “lost for words,” another fan breathlessly declared, “Breathtaking.”
Carpenter, who had recently garnered two Grammy Awards—Best Pop Vocal Album for her album “Short ‘n Sweet” and Best Pop Solo Performance for her hit song “Espresso”—arrived at the gala with a confidence that matched her extraordinary attire.
