Sabrina Carpenter took the Met Gala’s dress code, “Fashion Is Art,” to heart, wearing a dress that was made from the film of the movie “Sabrina,” a twice-made tale of a rags-and-riches romance between a chauffeur’s daughter and a man of means.
Carpenter, who is on the host committee for the event, told red-carpet interviewers that she was aware that the dress might have a short life.
“I’m trying to be as playful as possible,” she said to Teen Vogue. “Before it all goes.” (Carpenter finished that sentiment with an execrable epithet.)
And while it could not be independently confirmed whether the film used in the outfit was from the classic 1954 Billy Wilder original or the 1995 Sydney Pollack remake, there was some sense that it was the former: Carpenter’s look carried echoes of Audrey Hepburn in the original. The Hollywood Reporter reported that many of the bits of tiny celluloid bore images of William Holden and Humphrey Bogart, also stars of Wilder’s “Sabrina.”
