Whether it’s through her spicy lyrics, eyebrow raising album art, or her style both on and off the stage, Sabrina Carpenter knows how to make a statement. After-all, the singer’s bold and unapologetic persona is what draws in so many of her fans.

Aptly, in an eye-catching sartorial moment this week, the singer showed off a daring ensemble on Instagram.

In a photo-dump seeming to chronicle her time in Europe, Carpenter posted a series of snaps which included candid shots with friends, espresso (not the song), a ‘Manchild’ themed pinball machine, and of course, plenty of outfits.

Captioned “newsflash pal”, the post included a picture of the singer out at dinner in a red halter dress with a teasingly low back. The piece featured a tie-up neck detail, as well as ruching at the skirt which gave the silky fabric a gently draped effect. Paired with loose curls and a warm glam, the ensemble was picture perfect against the glamorous candle lit setting on display.

In a period of endless micro-trends, deep archival pulls, and references to eras gone by, the piece has an air of timelessness and reachability to it; a style sure to complement any luxe dinner outing; for those looking for a seductive pull. While we’d love for Carpenter to please (please please) drop exact dress details, we’ve also compiled our own list of backless halter styles.
