Sabrina Carpenter wears archival Bob Mackie bodysuit originally designed for Cher at VMAs afterparty
Sabrina Carpenter captured attention by donning a Bob Mackie bodysuit at the VMAs 2025 Afterparty. This vintage ensemble was initially designed for the iconic Cher’s performance in The Cher Show with Tina Turner in 1975. The black bodysuit featured layers of blue and pink fringes, adding a vibrant flair. Carpenter complemented her look with mascara on her lower lashes, retro curls, and towering sandals, which felt like the perfect finishing touch.
According to Bob Mackie’s Instagram post, the 26-year-old wore “The Swamp Dress” from his 1986 Spring collection. He described the outfit as a “fully embellished cocktail dress made of multicolor sequins and navy bugle beads on black silk with an asymmetric fringe hem.”
Carpenter consistently impressed with her fashion choices throughout the award ceremony. On the red carpet, she wore a cherry red Valentino gown designed by Alessandro Michele. The lacy dress featured sequin embroidery and was accessorized with a lavender feather boa, adding an elegant touch. She completed this look with matching heels, earrings, and a diamond ring from Tiffany & Co.
While accepting the Best Album Award, she switched to a black gown adorned with rainbow sequins. Carpenter maintained her fashion edge during her performance by changing into a silver bra, black micro shorts over sheer shiny black tights, and heels. This outfit appeared to pay homage to Britney Spears’s Bob Mackie diamonds burlesque set worn during her 2001 Dream Within a Dream Tour.
The VMAs 2025 marked a significant night for Carpenter, who received eight nominations and won three awards: Best Album, Best Pop Artist, and Best Visual Effect.
