Sabrina Carpenter is officially in the building! The musician took us back to the ’20s with her time-traveling beauty look at the 2026 Met Gala, fusing flapper cheekiness with classic silent movie star glamour.
Carpenter, who is on the host committee for the event, looked every bit the screen siren, swapping her usual ‘60s and ’70s-inspired bombshell blowout for a delightful twist on the faux bob. Her hair was curled up in big, thick ringlets in varying directions to give it the illusion of a cut from the front, though it’s obvious she didn’t lose any actual length for the big night. We’re fascinated by the mechanics of this hairstyle; how were her curls pinned up to stay in place all night long and hold their shape so beautifully?
Here it is from the front:

And now, the truly stunning back view. Those big rolls! That bounce! I feel like she’s going to Charleston right off the red carpet.
