Sabrina Carpenter’s “Short ‘n’ Sweet” Tour is coming to an end in the US, and the singer’s outfits have become the topic on fans’ lips. The “Espresso” singer debuts a variety of Swarovski embellished two-piece outfits by designer Ludovic de Saint Sernin, which has fans guessing which colour she will wear to her next show, and when she will debut a new colour. There have even been charts online dedicated to which colour she wore at which show.

Another item that Carpenter changes for every show is a message on her tights. Previous messages have been “I’m working late” from her platinum record Espresso, and “Taste me” from fan favourite single Taste.

Parisian brand Patou’s designs were also favoured by the singer for her tour. It’s capri length black lace catsuit is worn by the singer while she signs her hit songs such as “Coincidence” and “Nonsense”. This outfit, as well as her custom Victoria Secret bodice are completed with dance shoes by German dance shoe designer Werner Kern. The catsuit in particular has sparked controversy online and has quickly become a “love it or hate it” item.

Carpenter’s flirty and hyper-feminine style of the “Short ‘n’ Sweet” tour is an evolution of her outfits from her previous “Emails I Can’t Send” tour. However, the “Taste” singer has carried one element of her outfits through the years: the famous Naked Wolfe Platform boots. During Carpenter’s previous tour, the boots had no embellishment, however she has opted for a full bedazzling for the “Short ‘n’ Sweet” tour. This furthers her hyper feminine image, which has become a key staple of the singer’s image.
“I have to put on more clothes!”
Carpenter’s outfit choices are notably more revealing than her previous choices, which has sparked controversy from parents whose children are going to see the show. Many fans believe that it is the parent’s responsibility to decide weather the show is suitable for their children to attend, since the lyrics of her songs are not very child-friendly. However, some are still criticising the singer for wearing clothing that is inappropriate for younger audiences. While performing at one show, the singer interacts with a fan who turned twelve on the day of the concert. Upon hearing this, Carpenter remarked “I have to put on more clothes!”. The singer spoke to Time about this controversy and said “you’ll still get the occasional mother that has a strong opinion on how you should be dressing. And to that I just say, don’t come to the show and that’s OK”.
