Sabrina Carpenter Turns Heads in Look That Pays Homage to Audrey Hepburn's Classic Film

Sabrina Carpenter has arrived at the 2026 Met Gala, and her outfit is a glamorous nod to Old Hollywood.

Wearing a custom Dior slit tulle dress by Jonathan Anderson, the look pays homage to Audrey Hepburn's classic film Sabrina. The dress is wrapped in rhinestone film strips, which Vogue said includes film stills of Humphrey Bogart and William Holden.

This year's event marks Carpenter's fourth time at the Met Gala. However, this time she's back as a member of the host committee, alongside celebrities like Teyana Taylor, Gwendoline Christie, Doja Cat and more.

Carpenter made her debut at the Met Gala in 2022, wearing a stunning full-length skirt with a matching gold bandeau for the "In America: An Anthology of Fashion" theme. In 2025, she wore a Louis Vuitton bodysuit, which Elle called "a red carpet twist on the office siren aesthetic."

"My look for every year has been totally different," Carpenter told Vogue last year.

Ahead of her appearance at the Met Gala, Carpenter released a star-studded music video for her song "House Tour." Starring Carpenter alongside Margaret Qualley and Madelyn Cline, the video immediately caused a buzz among fans, receiving over 1 million views in under three hours.

Stunning in lingerie, the video finds Carpenter and her friends in a vintage-decorated house. Carpenter attributed the creative direction of the video to her co-star, Qualley.

"I'm so grateful to my beautiful brilliant partner in crime [Margaret Qualley] for directing this adventure of a video with me, and of course to my darling [Madelyn Cline] for bringing her excellence and charm to every frame," Carpenter said on Instagram. "We shot on vista vision in the Hollywood hills very late into the night.. this was a very ambitious hardworking crew i am incredibly grateful for."
