Sabrina Carpenter pulled up to the 2025 Met Gala dressed like she was allergic to pants—and honestly? Iconic. While the rest of us are still recovering from our decision to wear jeans to brunch, Sabrina said, “Who needs pants when Pharrell Williams says you’re too short for them?”

The 25-year-old Grammy winner strutted onto the Met Gala red carpet like a five-foot fashion hurricane in a Louis Vuitton no-pants wonder, specially designed by Pharrell himself. And yet—shocking twist—not everyone on the internet clapped. Some people typed. Loudly.

On May 6, one brave (read: bored) X user posted a multi-thread critique that basically read like a college dissertation on why Sabrina’s outfit didn’t “flatter her body type.” (Somewhere, a thesis advisor is weeping at the wasted potential.) The user even photoshopped her into a totally different look and dropped the phrase “ringmaster costume” like they just invented fashion bullying.

But Sabrina, queen of comedic comebacks and unbothered vibes, saw it all—and delivered a one-line mic drop that could’ve ended the internet:

“damn I f—– up.”

Oscar-worthy. Put it on a T-shirt. Frame it in the Louvre.

As it turns out, the outfit was literally custom-made for her, which kind of makes the critique funnier. On Vogue’s livestream, Sabrina explained that Pharrell looked at her and said (basically), “You’re short. Pants? Never heard of ‘em.” Hence the glorious pantsless ensemble was born.

Not only did the look serve “fashion-forward ringmaster at a futuristic circus,” but it also came with some unexpected perks. Like bathroom-free living. “Never been to the bathroom once because I’ve never been able to use it in my outfit,” she joked. “So tonight might be the night.” And somewhere deep in the Met Museum, a security guard silently prayed she wouldn’t try.

Later that night, she transformed from Circus Ringleader Barbie to Mob Wife Realness, slipping into a marigold Louis Vuitton coat, a white button-up, black tie, and trousers—yes, actual trousers. Her stylist Jared Ellner said “let’s give her legs a moment,” and they did.

This was Sabrina’s third time attending the Met Gala. She first stunned in 2022 with a golden, barely-there Paco Rabanne look that said, “I’ve arrived, and yes, I’m shimmering.” In 2024, she wore a romantic Oscar de la Renta moment while on the arm of then-boyfriend Barry Keoghan. This year? Single and slaying.

Inside the event, she wasn’t just posing—she was vibing. Sabrina took selfies with A-listers like her “Taste” music video co-star Jenna Ortega and even got steamy during Usher’s surprise performance. (And yes, the infamous cherry moment made an appearance. Do with that info what you will.)

So, next time someone tries to tell Sabrina Carpenter how to dress, maybe remember: this woman wore zero pants, conquered the red carpet, dropped a viral clapback, and still looked like the boss of fashion’s biggest night. Case closed.
