Overview

• Sabrina Carpenter wore a Louis Vuitton bodysuit and structured jacket styled by Pharrell Williams to the 2025 Met Gala, omitting trousers as per Williams' suggestion based on her height.
• The outfit, under the 'Tailored for You' theme, drew criticism for missing an opportunity to showcase tailoring's ability to elongate her petite frame.
• Carpenter responded to a six-point critique on X with a self-deprecating post, writing, 'damn i f***ed up..,' but did not address Williams' role in the styling decision.
• Cardi B’s tailored Burberry trouser suit was widely praised as a counterexample, emphasizing the transformative power of precise tailoring on similar body proportions.
• The discourse has sparked broader conversations about tailoring, creative freedom, and the influence of celebrity stylists on body image in high-fashion settings.
