Sabrina Carpenter to curtain bangs is water to a river. It's oxygen to life, it's... you get the gist. The star is just known for her iconic signature style. Normally, it's teamed with insanely voluminous and bouncy curls that Dolly Parton herself could not compete with (IMO).
But today [Friday 27th June], Sabrina stepped out at the Dior Homme show at Paris Fashion Week – Menswear Spring/Summer 2026, looking completely different. With sleek, straight hair and a side-parting that Lauren Conrad circa 2006 would have been proud of, she looks totally different to her normal look. We are kind of obsessed. Teamed with her fitted skirt suit, she's serving sophistication, albeit with a y2k twist.
It's not the first time she's experimented with a side-parting though, back in January this year she rocked one with voluminous waves, coiffed to high heaven by hairstylist, Scott King.
If this is Sabrina soft launching her side-fringe era, we are so here for it. I mean, with a new album on the horizon, it feels natural to change up your image too, right? And, as a teen of the noughties, I am here for the return of the side part as it slowly creeps back into the zeitgeist, with celebs like Anya Taylor-Joy and Zendaya sporting them on the red carpet this year too. Now, pass me the tail comb!
