Sabrina Carpenter is everywhere you look these days. She's selling out venues on her Short n' Sweet Tour! She's single-handedly bringing back the old school Hollywood bombshell aesthetic! She's making me consider getting a fringe!! And when October 31st rolls around this year, you're pretty much guaranteed to see a Sabrina Carpenter costume or two at every Halloween party you attend.
If you, too, want to dress up like everyone's favourite IRL Polly Pocket, the question begs: Which version of Sabrina should you be? Lucky for you, I'm here to give you all the Sabrina Carpenter costume inspo you could possibly need.
Even if you don't have a specific ~lewk~ in mind, it's still easy to dress up like Sab for Halloween with the help of 1) a micro mini babydoll dress, 2) a pair of towering platform shoes, and 3) a red lip print tattoo and set of sky-high false eyelashes. And, of course, you'll want to make sure you curl your hair and do your makeup so nice.
However! If you do want to recreate a specific style moment, I have plenty of ideas for you, ranging from music video outfits to tour costumes to street-style looks. Ready to channel your inner Sabrina? Let's get to it (and side note: these costume ideas double as great 'fits to wear to the Short n' Sweet Tour, just saying!).
Coachella Sabrina Carpenter costume
Kicking things off with: the easiest damn costume on this list, as worn by Sabrina during Coachella this year. Just make sure you order your T-shirt a few sizes larger than you would normally wear for that perf oversized fit.
Short N' Sweet Tour Sabrina Carpenter costume
Carpenters have been introduced to *so* many great looks during the Short n' Sweet Tour, but my personal fave has got to be this black lace catsuit complete with matching gloves, obv.
Paris Fashion Week Sabrina Carpenter costume
Hi, remember when Sabrina made her runway debut in Paris and served up retro beach Barbie? Ofc you do. You may not be able to afford her custom Jacquemus set (sad), but the striped suit is easy enough to recreate.
"Taste" Sabrina Carpenter costume
If you want to tap into the scary element of Halloween, you can't go wrong with a costume inspired by Sabrina's "Taste" music video thanks to all the gory add-ons you could do. While her white fluffy dressing gown boudoir outfit is personally our fave, her blue top and capris look is definitely the easiest to recreate.
Street style Sabrina Carpenter costume
Am I the only one who thinks about this librarian-chic Miu Miu ensemble at least once a week? You can recreate the moment with a cropped polo shirt, bubble skirt and white knee-highs with strappy black heels – and don't forget to add a pair of tortoiseshell glasses as the finishing touch.
BBC Radio 1 Sabrina Carpenter costume
Whoever said orange was the new pink... may have been onto something. I'm obsessed with the archival Y2K Roberto Cavalli mini that 'Brina wore on the BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend stage – and while it's not *quite* the same, ASOS has a pretty good look-a-like for £25.
"Espresso" Sabrina Carpenter costume
If you're looking to channel the "Espresso" music video without wearing a straight-up bikini this Halloween, this neon combo is the way to do it. And to make it obvious what you're going for, you can always add an "Espresso" visor.
Bond-Eye Paloma mini dress
Gov Ball Sabrina Carpenter costume
Wanna hop on the butter yellow trend? You can recreate Sabrina's costume from her Governors Ball set with a baby yellow mini, frilly white socks and a towering pair of rhinestone platforms. We've gone the authentic route for this look, and fair warning it's not exactly affordable – but check out this ASOS Design dress that isn't too dissimilar in terms of design and is currently on sale!

MTV VMAs Sabrina Carpenter costume
Am I still not over Sab's Video Music Awards performance? Not at all. Will this costume be made even better if you get your partner/bestie to dress up as an astronaut or alien? Absolutely yes.
"Please Please Please" Sabrina Carpenter costume
Like all her videos, Sabrina's "Please Please Please" music video is chock-full of costume inspo – but IMO, Halloween is perhaps the only time you have the perfect excuse to wear lingerie in public and it be (mostly) socially acceptable, so why not go for it??
Eras Tour Sabrina Carpenter costume
Nobody asked... but just in case anyone was wondering, my fave look from Sabrina when she opened for Taylor Swifton the Eras Tour's stint in Australia has got to be this asymmetrical Giuseppe di Morabito number (which, again, can be easily duped with an affordable dress).
