It may be that by now every performance is an excuse to change the name of the festival. But while it is true that this was the most anticipated weekend for many, especially music fans, it was equally true that she was one of the most anticipated names. We are talking about Sabrina Carpenter, among the headliners of Coachella 2026, which became “Sabrinawood” for the occasion. It was a performance that convinced practically everyone – net of sterile controversy over choruses understood or not – and that testified for the umpteenth time to the incredible work Sabrina has done in recent years. Incidentally, also with a precise coincidence. Because today, April 12, 2026, is exactly two years since the release of a certain single that we have listened to far and wide subsequently. We’re talking about “Espresso,” which didn’t bring notoriety to the artist, already well known since she was a kid, but certainly a mainstream stage.
Anyone has listened to “Espresso,” let’s face it. But Sabrina has been smart enough to build her imagery and character and translate it into live performances, where her shows are among the most popular. And so it was at Coachella, too. Because Carpenter “hired,” in the midst of her many songs, special guest stars – such as Will Ferrell and Susan Sarandon – but also a spectacular set design, alternating with performances that were undoubtedly among the coolest of the moment. In short, the echoes of his show can be heard, and how.
But there is another detail that has not escaped Carpenter’s fans-and not only: her looks. Always dramatic, always studied to the smallest detail, almost like a 60s and 70s soubrette, this time elevated to the nth power for a more than special occasion such as Coachella. Because the signature of the outfits sported by Sabrina for the festival, in its first weekend that began yesterday, Friday, April 11, 2026, was none other than Dior.
And the behind-the-scenes look creation was shown by the brand itself on its social channels, where it immortalized some of the outfits chosen for the artist. As Vogue also tells us, in fact, Sabrina over the course of the evening wore as many as four different outfits, designed by Jonathan Anderson. Ever since her debut with “Manchild,” in which she wore a red coat that, when removed, revealed a red mini-dress covered in sequins. Proving that the glitter of Old Hollywood has not faded in her mind. Then on to a gold minidress, still studded with sequins, with champagne-colored chiffon sleeves.
Dior, on her Instagram, then revealed two outfits in detail: namely the one consisting of a top with a white bra, adorned with bangs and beads, and a skirt; up to the choreographic black lace cape that sweetly accompanies the bodysuit, also made of lace, with corset, with which Sabrina ended the show, leaving in her convertible. Making, even more than it already was, her show one of a kind.
