Sabrina Carpenter and Jared Ellner have teamed up with Vogue to give fans an exclusive look at the costumes for Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet tour. The tour’s wardrobe, meticulously crafted, features three distinct acts, each showcasing unique and memorable designs. Act one highlights Victoria’s Secret creations, while Patou takes center stage in act two. The final act is all about Ludovic de Saint Sernin’s artistic touch.
The second act is particularly noteworthy, with Carpenter donning a sheer babydoll dress over a glittering corset, a nod to Hollywood icons Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. This segment channels the classic allure of Monroe’s “There’s No Business Like Show Business” and Hepburn’s elegance in “Funny Face.” The costumes are more than just visually appealing; they hold deep meaning and inspiration, drawing from the likes of Brigitte Bardot and the Abba Voyage Show in London.
Carpenter emphasizes the importance of comfort in her performance attire. She states that her comfort level directly impacts her performance quality.
“If I’m not [comfortable], the performance is two out of 10,” – Sabrina Carpenter
The costumes are designed to ensure she feels confident and at ease on stage. Carpenter shares how the attire transforms her performance experience.
“I have no insecurities—no thoughts about anything—because I’m just so comfortable in those little dresses,” – Sabrina Carpenter
Jared Ellner plays a pivotal role in bringing Sabrina’s costume visions to life. Together, they create outfits that not only elevate Carpenter’s ideas but also add versatility through colors, details, and accessories. Ellner describes the process as akin to preparing for a special event.
“It’s kinda like—I mean you know better than me—but girlies getting ready,” – Jared Ellner
The show takes audiences through a narrative that unfolds in one night, with each costume change reflecting a different chapter of the story. Carpenter notes the impact of the black costumes on her stage presence.
“You can really see her movements because of the black,” – Sabrina Carpenter
The Short N’ Sweet tour holds a special place in Carpenter’s heart, as it marks an artistic journey back to where she was born. The collaboration between Carpenter and Ellner ensures that each piece serves a purpose beyond aesthetics, enhancing both the performer’s comfort and the audience’s experience.
