Sabrina Carpenter, the talented 26-year-old singer and actress, has once again captivated fans with her latest release, "Man's Best Friend." The highlight of this launch is the visually stunning music video for her track "Tears," which is infused with vibrant disco fashion. Carpenter's signature style shines through in the five-minute clip, showcasing her evolution as a pop star.
The music video for "Tears" features an array of eye-catching outfits, curated by Carpenter's stylist, Jared Ellner. One standout piece is an archival Victoria's Secret lingerie set, originally modeled by the legendary Naomi Campbell in 2003. This retro ensemble sets the tone for the '70s-inspired aesthetic that permeates the video, adding a nostalgic yet fresh vibe.
In a particularly memorable sequence, Carpenter kicks off a dance break alongside actor Colman Domingo, who is dressed in drag. Here, Carpenter dons a whimsical metallic fringe chainmail halter top, complemented by matching arm cuffs. The outfit's pièce de résistance is a pair of ruffled and sequined mirrorball bottoms, which appear to have been custom-made for her. To complete the look, she paired the ensemble with striking silver heels, embodying the essence of disco fashion.
Carpenter’s stunning visual presentation is a result of a collaborative effort with a talented team. Stylist Jared Ellner was joined by makeup artist Carolina Gonzalez, hairstylist Evanie Frausto, and nail artist Zola Ganzorigt. Gonzalez created a dazzling sparkly eye look that pairs beautifully with Carpenter's signature lined lips, transformed into a bold red hue for this project. Frausto elevated Carpenter’s blonde banged hairstyle into voluminous curls, while Ganzorigt completed the look with chic silver French-style tips. The wardrobe also featured pieces from high-end brands like Versace and jewelry from Brilliant Earth.
"Man's Best Friend," released on August 29, is Carpenter's seventh studio album. During a recent interview with CBS Mornings and host Gayle King, she opened up about the themes of her music, describing it as sexual, powerful, and vulnerable. Carpenter candidly mentioned that her latest work might not be suitable for everyone, particularly "pearl-clutchers," but emphasized that even those listeners could find enjoyment in her music when they listen in solitude.
In an engaging Q&A session with Spotify and actor Owen Thiele, Carpenter shared insights into her creative process for this album. "I started writing this album pretty much the day after I finished the Short n' Sweet Tour," she explained. "I was in the midst of a lot, personally, and I felt it would be detrimental if I stopped writing." This dedication to her craft showcases Carpenter's commitment to her artistry and her fans.
With a dazzling music video and a compelling new album, Sabrina Carpenter continues to solidify her place in the music industry as a bold and innovative artist. Fans can expect much more from this rising star as she explores the intersection of music and fashion.
