For a celebrity hair transformation to be a “moment,” three things need to happen: it should come out of left field; represent a marked departure from the star’s usual style; and, at least in some way, signal a shift in their overall vibe. Nailing three out of three today is Vogue cover star Sabrina Carpenter, who arrived at Jonathan Anderson’s debut Dior show in Paris sans her signature curtain bangs.

Attending the Dior Homme Menswear spring/summer 2026 show in Paris, the 26-year-old was photographed with a Clueless-coded side parting and smooth blow-out, all secured in place with a tortoiseshell barrette. Though classic, the style is a definite departure from her signature bombshell curls and bouncy curtain bangs.

Despite flirting with various waves and curls, the Man’s Best Friend singer has remained loyal to the same hairstyle for the past four years, wearing it throughout both the Emails I Can’t Send and Short n’ Sweet tours. In fact, her hairstyle has become such a recognizable look that rumors began to swirl that it was a wig—after all, whose natural strands could give such volume and gravity-defying bounce?!
