Sabrina Carpenter Ditches Pants at the 2025 Met Gala

At this year’s Met Gala, Sabrina Carpenter didn’t just show up—she showed off. No pants. No apologies. Just legs, glitter, and a smirk that said she knew damn well what she was doing.

The 25-year-old pop provocateur hit the Met steps in a burgundy Louis Vuitton bodysuit with the kind of trailing train that says: I’m important, and I don’t walk fast. It was tuxedo-inspired but flipped the script—no trousers, all tease. The white collar and sparkle-button detailing gave it a wink of old-school formality, but the cut was pure danger. Think Sinatra on acid. Think Liza Minnelli in Vegas after midnight.

The look was Pharrell’s idea. Yes, that Pharrell—now running the men’s creative show over at Louis Vuitton. Apparently, he took one look at Sabrina and said, “You’re quite short, so no pants for you.” She took the note and turned it into a fashion moment that felt more rockstar rebellion than red carpet tradition. And in that world, the rule is simple: legs or bust.

Dripping in diamonds—necklaces, rings, anklet, maybe a few carats hidden in the seams just for insurance—Sabrina kept the accessories maximal, the attitude casual, and the heels skyscraper-high. “A staple for me in my life,” she shrugged, like gravity was just a suggestion.

This is her third Met Gala appearance, but this time, she claims, she might actually get to use the bathroom—“Never been to the bathroom once because I’ve never been able to use it in my outfit,” she told Vogue. “So tonight might be the night.” She said it like she might discover Atlantis in there.

Last year, she did the couples’ thing with Barry Keoghan—matching gowns, cloud-skirt fantasy, love on display. This year, she left the romance at home and brought the edge instead. No sweetheart necklines. No mermaid silhouettes. Just a woman, her bare legs, and the confidence to rock a museum gala like it was Studio 54 with better lighting.

Sabrina Carpenter didn’t just show skin—she showed guts. And in a room full of tailored dandyism and curated couture, sometimes the boldest move is subtraction. No pants, no problem.
