Heartbreak is one thing, my ego's another... and Sabrina bb, you're not embarrassing us motherf*ckers but instead, putting us to shame with your effortlessly perfect natural curly hair texture! Please, please, please, give the rest of us a chance!
In lieu of dropping her 2024 album (Short n' Sweet, WYA?), Sabrina Carpenter has taken a vacay (and a well-deserved one, at that) across Europe, donning the streets of Paris and Italy – and of course, sharing the snaps for us all to gush over on Instagram.
Now, despite the initial spike of jealousy – I mean, wouldn't we all rather be sunning it up? – it was actually her hair that had us green with envy. Confused, much? Well, listen up and take a look at the 10-part carousel below.
Ditching her signature bouncy blonde blowout, the singer is shown to be rocking her natural hair texture and the body, volume and curl pattern are all giving. Natch.
If only my rat's nest looked as good as Sabrina's without being styled. God clearly has favourites, sigh.
Not only are we in awe of this hair reveal but Sab's makeup-free face, too. As one does when taking to the beach, the Cosmopolitan UK cover star has stripped back on the glam and instead, decided to rock the no-makeup look. And to no surprise, she looks as gorgeous as ever.
While we eagerly wait for Sabrina to drop both her skincare and haircare routines, if you, too, want to bring out your natural curls we recommend making use of a defining hair gel or cream. Our fave ATM is the Curlsmith Hydro Style Flexi-Jelly; it's lightweight, highly moisturising, and enhances shine!

Stock up now while you can... Sab, we're coming for your look...
