Sabrina Carpenter demonstrated her ability to captivate audiences with any hair color. At 26, she looked completely transformed while modeling for Perfect Magazine on Tuesday, April 7, donning a brunette wig that marked a stark departure from her usual honey blonde locks. The wig was styled straight with short bangs above her eyebrows, completing the striking new look.
Enhancing her makeover, Carpenter sported a black manicure and subtle makeup featuring rosy cheeks, light pink lips, and mascara.
Social media users were quick to react to her new appearance. One fan exclaimed, āOmg didnāt even recognize her!! ā¤ļø,ā while another commented, āooo the black hair looks good.ā A third fan noted, āFull on shape shifting ā¤ļø.ā
In an interview with the publication, Carpenter, styled by fashion editor Katie Eleanor Grand, discussed her dramatic transformation, stating, āI love to play dress up. This shoot was really fun for that reason.ā
She further explained, āWe got to really try some looks that Iāve never tried before. Lots of wigs, lots of different makeup for me, lots of shapes that maybe I wouldnāt normally wear. I can just play a little bit more with editorial. It was really fun.ā
Carpenter also shared her excitement about headlining Coachella on Friday, April 10, and April 17, a milestone she envisioned two years ago while performing on the same stage.
Reflecting on her return, she said, āNow, two years later, weāre back. And I think thatās what makes this show feel really, really surreal: getting to celebrate all the songs that have come after it, and just how many lives theyāve lived since theyāve come out.ā
Captured by Bryce Anderson, Carpenter elaborated, āWhen Iām on stage, thereās a button. I think itās been this way ever since I was young. And when youāre singing these songs, whether these songs be your personal stories or songs you wrote about other people, in that moment, it really becomes a show.ā
She added, āIāve always been able to differentiate when I get off stage. I am a human being. Iām a 26-year-old girl. Iām hormonal. Iām emotional. Iām dealing with a lot of stuff. For me, it really just has been compartmentalizing the moments where I feel like the show must go on and then moments where I can really allow myself to be a little all over the place and allow that to be OK.ā
