Sabrina Carpenter Channels Audrey Hepburn in Custom Dior at 2026 Met Gala

other · 2026-05-05

At the 2026 Met Gala, Sabrina Carpenter wore a custom Dior slit tulle dress by Jonathan Anderson, inspired by Audrey Hepburn's 1954 film 'Sabrina'. The gown featured rhinestone film strips depicting Humphrey Bogart and William Holden. Carpenter, who recently headlined Coachella, served on the host committee alongside Teyana Taylor, Doja Cat, Lisa, and Misty Copeland. This marked her fourth Met Gala appearance, following previous looks: a golden Rabanne two-piece in 2022, an Oscar de la Renta black mermaid gown in 2024, and a pinstriped Louis Vuitton bodysuit in 2025. Carpenter has deliberately avoided a signature style, telling Vogue each year's look is totally different.
