Sabrina Carpenter takes the October cover of Vogue Italy, photographed by Steven Meisel in a shoot that balances vintage glamour with a sly, modern edge. At 26, Carpenter isn’t just a singer and performer—she’s a rising pop icon, a presence that fills stadiums and magazine spreads alike. Her new album Man’s Best Friend has already turned heads, her Lollapalooza headline set her apart as a live force, and her upcoming Short n’ Sweet tour will bring her to Austin, Nashville, Pittsburgh, and New York.
The cover story frames Carpenter as more than a pop star: she’s a woman who uses humor and wit as armor, a charm that’s both playful and deliberate. “Part of life is making light of moments that maybe make us uncomfortable… it was always there to make sure that at the end of the day I was protecting myself for the future,” she explains, hinting at the intelligence behind her charisma.
Carpenter’s style is similarly layered—femininity is not a mask but a playground. “A shifting character I can write and rewrite every day,” she says, her words matching the subtle seduction of her presence on the page. Her collaboration with Meisel brought a sophistication that doesn’t shy away from flirtation, a playful tension that reminds fans why she’s impossible to ignore.
For those who follow the arc of pop culture’s young, hot creators, Carpenter is a figure who mixes talent, wit, and undeniable allure. The full feature appears in Vogue Italy’s October issue, on newsstands September 26 and online at Vogue.it.
