It’s hot girl summer in Paris—yes, we have just seen out another couture week, but the City of Light has also ridden out some record-breaking temperatures. Sabrina Carpenter has some ideas for staying cool without compromising on that one piece you really want to wear.
The pop star was photographed heading out to a jazz club and dining at Billie restaurant wearing a breezy, pale pink Benetton mini dress with spaghetti straps and an all-over logo print. She toted a latte-colored vintage Hermès mini-shoulder bag and wore a pair of vintage Dior by John Galliano cream open-toed mules with floral and lock and key details on her feet. Headwear was a furry brown Paolo Moretti bucket hat—maybe not so heatwave appropriate, but when the rest of the outfit is so airy, committing to a statement out-of-season piece is made easier. It felt Carrie Bradshaw, “An American Girl in Paris (Part Une).”
Carpenter was in Paris to attend Dior’s 2026 couture show, as a now longtime friend of the house. (Creative director Jonathan Anderson dressed her for this year’s Coachella performance.) She wore a draped white Dior gown from the resort 2027 collection with a delicate lace overlay, corsage shoulder detail, and tulip-like waist fastening, toted a Lady D-Joy micro bag and wore white bow heels. Keeping it distinctly Sab, she wore her hair in pretty pigtails. Like other fashion week attendees, like Gigi Hadid, Carpenter decided to extend her trip a little longer to enjoy the French restaurant scene and the weather.

Outside of the French fashion circuit, she’s stuck to her colorful and sweet style lexicon: Chanel mini-dresses, a cute butter-yellow buttoned jacket from indie label My Mum Made It, and a suite of vintage mules. A recent appearance at the Ecuador vs. Germany World Cup match saw Carpenter wear a vintage navy Nike tennis dress. A fun headpiece is also a regular addition in her wardrobe: whether a fuzzy leopard bucket hat by Tyler Lambert, a cheetah-ringed beret, or her own tongue-in-cheek novelty merch caps.
Trust that Sabrina Carpenter’s summer wardrobe is on lock, and the fuzzy hat is very much here to stay whatever the season.
