Sabrina Carpenter Bids Farewell To Her Signature Curtain Bangs - And Signals A New Preppy Look
There are likely a few things that spring to mind on the topic of Sabrina Carpenter this summer. Perhaps you are already humming the tune to the singer's new brainworm, 'Manchild', which is fast cementing itself as the single of summer '25. Maybe you cast your mind to her trademark make-up routine, which is centred around a classic overlined lip and, more recently, the viral Prada banana balm. Or, most likely, you think of her signature curtain bangs and bombshell waves which have, until now, defined the singer's aesthetic. As she stepped out in Paris for the Dior Homme spring/summer 2026 show, however, Carpenter it seems had eschewed her classic sweeping fringe hairstyle and embraced an altogether new look. Gone were the wide curls for which she is now synonymous and in their place she wore her lengths in a vintage-inspired side parting which was clipped in place with a tortoiseshell barrette and soft, subtle waves sweeping beneath. This hairstyle was certainly a departure from her voluminous waves and Taking a break from her current Short n' Sweet Tour, Carpenter - a muse of the brand - attended what marked the debut of Jonathan Anderson's helm at Dior. For the occasion, the singer wore an uncharacteristically conservative yet chic ensemble which complemented her new beauty aesthetic. The grey wool blazer is instantly recognisable as the Monsieur Dior's legendary Bar jacket, and was paired with a pleated skirt and peep-toe shoes. Musicians have used their sartorial choices and beauty routines to hint at new albums, potential tours or send messages to eagle-eyed fans since the dawn of social media. Could this new dramatic transformation signal a departure from the sensual lyrics of 'Espresso' and 'Taste' and into a new musical realm? Perhaps. Or maybe the singer is simply embracing a preppier wardrobe and hairstyle as we hit peak-summer. Whatever the motive, Carpenter's new look is serving serious summer hair and style inspiration.

David Koma Resort 2026 Collection
David Koma had just returned from Stromboli, where he'd been on set shooting a Blumarine lookbook, when it was time to present his own resort collection in London. Lace, pearls, and sugar-rush pastels—signatures more closely linked to Blumarine than to the graphic, femme-fatale-coded vision of his namesake womenswear—cooed from the rails of his Shoreditch studio. The influence was fun to speculate on, but Koma was sure to dismiss any direct comparisons between his respective brands. 'I always swing between extremes,' he explained. 'Last season was tough, whereas this time, I wanted to see how soft I could take it while still making the clothes feel strong and empowering to women. I wanted to use femininity as a sort of weapon.' Koma set forth on his mission with a rewatch of the hit series Mad Men—the 1960s remain his favorite decade in fashion—and found inspiration in its glamorous female leads, who, beneath their sweet floral-print dresses, were often more hardcore, and hardened, than their male counterparts. He sought to channel that tension into clothes where flowers became a kind of battledress: chrome stems clutching bikini bottoms and tracing babydoll dress cutouts; three-dimensional silk roses puncturing nude-illusion inserts on draped and deconstructed satin gowns. Elsewhere, circles of studded denim and bonded lace were hand-appliquéd across bralettes, pant sets, and boudoir-ish minidresses to form barbed clusters. The designer's notes might well have read: 'You can look, but you can't touch.' It would, of course, be a struggle to imagine Betty Draper and her peers in looks as revealing as these, but fashion is in a different place now. For example: Koma transformed the notion of tweed two-pieces into sequin-scattered cocktail dresses, and twinsets and pearls into pearl-encrusted hotpants in buttercup yellows and powdery lilacs. This lighter-than-usual palette was informed by the American pop artist Mel Ramos, whose 2014 lithograph Maidenform Molly—in which a striped figure is depicted with an absent square at her bust—influenced this season's hazard-tape leather skirts and T-shirt dresses with stark holes in the torso that, in Koma's words, 'mimicked a television.' The designer has spent a lot of time replaying the past, but his next task will be to consider his own: he's spent 15 years in the business, and should celebrate the milestone away from a screen—that includes a viewfinder in Stromboli.
