Sabrina Carpenter debuted a new hairstyle: a red pixie cut.
The singer showed off the new look on the cover of Perfect Magazine.
“When we shoot stuff for my music, it’s very Sabrina,” she said about her signature style. “For this I got to [say], ‘Just forget that I exist. Anybody but me.’”
Sabrina Carpenter is debuting a fresh new hairstyle—in a recent photoshoot, that is.
On April 7, the “Espresso” singer appeared on the cover of Perfect Magazine, and in one shot, she ditched her signature blonde hair for a red pixie cut that’s very reminiscent of iconic supermodel Twiggy.
The 26-year-old donned the new ‘do as she posed in bed in front of a mirror, wearing a long-sleeve brown shirt with lace detailing. Her feet are kicked up behind her, revealing black pumps. In her hands she appears to be holding a diary with a lock.
The full spread is a far departure from Carpenter’s usual Betty Boop-inspired aesthetic. Elsewhere, she wears long black hair with blunt bangs. In yet another look, she rocks a blonde-and-black mullet.
In the interview, conducted by Marc Jacobs, Carpenter revealed the intention behind the daring styling. “When we shoot stuff for my music, it’s very Sabrina,” she said.
“For this I got to [say], ‘Just forget that I exist. Anybody but me.’ It was really fun to be able to play with character…The most exciting thing about a shoot is when you can just fully trust and relinquish control, and that’s how I felt.”

She also spoke about navigating her style as “the shortest person ever.”
“The day I realised what tailoring is changed my life,” she told Jacobs. “In terms of what made me feel the most confident, it was an altered outfit, making it feel like it works really well on my body. I see it truly as art, as something that can make you feel so self-conscious or it can make you feel so incredibly confident that you’re not even aware of what is on your body.”

And being that she loves “to play dress up,” she relished the opportunity to switch up her look for the shoot.

“We got to really try some looks that I’ve never tried before. Lots of wigs, lots of different make-up for me, lots of shapes that maybe I wouldn’t normally wear. I can just play a little bit more with editorial. It was really fun.”
