Watch: Met Gala 2025: Sabrina Carpenter's Dad Has Best Reaction to Usher Feeding Her a Cherry

Sabrina Carpenter’s dad is keeping his reaction short n’ sweet.

After the “Please Please Please” singer attended the 2025 Met Gala on May 5, she recapped her night—which included Usher feeding her a cherry—by giving her 46. 7 million Instagram followers a behind-the-scenes photo dump.

In fact, included in the 25-year-old’s roundup—set the post to Modern Talking’s “Cheri Cheri Lady”—is a text from her dad David Carpenter, in which he reacted her exchange with Usher, writing, “? Weird.” 

Indeed, it appears Sabrina had an OMG night out at fashion’s biggest night, as shown in her Instagram post, which also includes pics of her at an after-party with BFF Jenna Orgeta and detailed shots of her expensive jewels.

The Disney alum made a statement for her third appearance at the Met Gala in a no pants look. For the occasion and the "Tailored for You” dress code, Sabrina wore a custom burgundy tuxedo-inspired bodysuit designed by Pharrell Williams for Louis Vuitton.

As for the idea of forgoing pants in the name of fashion, that was all Pharrell’s idea.

“This is Pharrell and this is Louis Vuitton,” she told Vogue May 5. “And I’m such a massive fan of Pharrell’s. And have been to the shows and I was just like ‘If I could go with him this year that would be my dream.’ And that came true.  And he was like, 'You’re quite short so, no pants for you.’ So here we are.”
