Pop superstar Sabrina Carpenter is entering her full bombshell era, gracing the October cover of Vogue Italia with a stunning shoot that blends retro glamour with her signature playful edge. The cover, lensed by legendary fashion photographer Steven Meisel and styled by Karl Templer, shows the “Man’s Best Friend” singer in a sophisticated yet sultry light, featuring a flipped-out bob and dramatic makeup.

Carpenter’s latest photo shoot captures the 26-year-old at a pivotal moment in her white-hot career, fresh off the chart-topping success of her new album and a recently announced headlining slot at Coachella. The striking black-and-white photos cast Carpenter in a mix of nostalgic looks, including pieces from Prada and Dolce & Gabbana, styled with an air of Brigitte Bardot-like sophistication.

Celebrity commenters praising the shoot on Carpenter’s Instagram page included actress Maude Apatow (“Oh my god”), supermodel Winnie Harlow (“Stunner”) and former Boy Meets World actress and Maxim cover star Danielle Fishel (“Literally took my breath away!! You’re stunning in every way”).

In the shoot’s accompanying interview, Carpenter spoke candidly about her use of wit and irony as both a defense mechanism and a source of creative freedom. She noted that her femininity is not a mask but “an experiment, a shifting character I can write and rewrite every day.” She also reflected on the unique connection with her fanbase, stating, “The most important part of the last 10 years of my life have been the people that have got me to where I am. We really are growing up together.”

The reality TV star and billionaire entrepreneur behind KKW Beauty, SKIMS shapewear and, most recently, the SKKN skincare company stunned in a variety of curve-flaunting looks. On the cover itself, Kardashian wore a sheer dress with a throwback cone bra and feather hat.

As Hollywood Life points out, other alluring ensembles from the spread include a see-through wool crochet dress by Versace, a skintight black velvet dress, and a particularly plunging sheer white top with beaded fringe tucked into a sequin Miu Miu skirt.

In her Vogue Italia cover story, Kardashian touched on her split with Ye (formerly Kanye West), whom she divorced in 2021 after eight years of marriage. After Di Chiara Barzini described the separation as “one of the most graceful I’ve seen in entertainment,” Kardashian said, “Thank you! Sometimes you just don’t really have a choice.”

“Would I have made the situation better if I handled it in any other way? No. Would I have made it worse? Yes. I think at some point you just have to surrender to not getting the last word and not having your truth out there. I also saw a really good example from my parents. And that was helpful. It makes me want to be an example for my kids too,” she said.

Kardashian also discussed her efforts to instigate American prison reform, as well as her interest in working with a mix of emerging brands and stalwarts of the fashion world—she’s currently the face of Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring-Summer 2023 Women’s ADV campaign.
