Sabrina Carpenter Wears Dior Gown Made from Film Strips at 2026 Met Gala

At the 2026 Met Gala on Monday night in New York, singer Sabrina Carpenter wore a custom Dior dress constructed from photographic film strips. The gown, designed by creative director Jonathan Anderson, featured multiple layers of film from Billy Wilder's 1954 movie *Sabrina*, starring Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden. The slit tulle dress was decorated with rhinestones and incorporated still images from the film. Carpenter's headpiece included a pendant on her forehead displaying the film's title card. The dress code for the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute was 'Fashion Is Art.' Carpenter described the film as one of her favorites and praised Anderson. Online discussion questioned whether the film strips were genuine archival material from the 1954 film. Some Redditors argued the strips appeared to be modern reproductions, citing irregular perforation spacing and negative-like images. One comment suggested the material is likely a modern safety print on polyester film, which is more stable and less flammable than 1950s acetate film.
