Sabrina Carpenter Dazzles in Vogue Italia, Opens Up About Facing Male Harassment
Sabrina Carpenter is transforming the contemporary pin-up aesthetic on the cover of Vogue Italia, flaunting her voluminous blonde hair and bold winged eyeliner.
The 26-year-old pop sensation mesmerized with ’60s-inspired accessories in her nostalgic photo shoot and interview, released on Tuesday, September 23. She sported soft peach lipstick and a captivating gaze as she openly spoke about her experiences in the spotlight and public perception.
Within the magazine spread, the talented artist embraced her vintage and cinematic influences, donning minimal lingerie, form-fitting silhouettes, and pointed-toe pumps in a stunning black-and-white editorial captured by Steven Meisel.
One iconic image showcases Carpenter in an Eres bra, Olivia Von Halle panties, a chain belt from Street Ahead USA cascading down her waist, paired with Manolo Blahnik heels and a Cartier bracelet styled as an anklet.
Stylist Karl Templer infused his hallmark style, while her beautiful hair was styled by Guido Palau, and Dame Pat McGrath crafted Carpenter’s stunning makeup look.
In her candid interview, translated into English, Carpenter talked about her stage persona, her ascent to fame, and how she balances her career with personal life.
“My performances may feel like I am portraying a character, but the moment I engage with the audience, I am being myself,” she expressed to the publication. “The experiences and feelings I have on any given day are moments I cherish for myself.”
Facing criticism has been part of Carpenter’s journey, as she shared her approach to discomfort, stating, “I take the uncomfortable moments lightly.”
Carpenter also opened up about being “truly adored, inspired, and appreciated” by some men, while experiencing feelings of confusion and ridicule from others.
“I find men to be an intriguing species to observe,” she remarked, noting the complexity of her views on them.
“When a close friend announces she’s having a son, I’m genuinely happy for that young boy,” she noted, “knowing he’ll be raised in a positive environment.”
She concluded, “Correct me if I’m wrong, but from my 26 years on this planet, it seems we’ve always had to guide them. Sadly, it’s a timeless narrative.”
