She might be small — five feet to be exact — but Sabrina Carpenter is having a huge year. Since breaking the internet with her smash hit “Espresso” in the summer, the pop star has had multiple top 10 hits, a number one album, and is currently on the road with her first-ever arena tour.

As if her list of 2024 accomplishments wasn’t already long enough, Carpenter is also gracing the cover of TIME’s 100Next issue in a vintage Victoria’s Secret number once worn by one of the biggest supermodels in the world. NBD.

Sabrina’s Pants-less Cover

After teasing a surprise on Oct. 1 with a montage of coquette corseted dresses, long blonde hair, and a message pleading to fans to “Please, please, please come back tomorrow,” TIME unveiled its 100Next cover featuring Sabrina Carpenter on Oct. 2.

In the photo, the 25-year-old stands on a golf course in a Marilyn Monroe-esque pose as she dons a red strapless bodysuit with a sparkly black heart detail on the chest. Around her waist sits an oversized satin belt that’s been tied into a large bow in the back, and falls down into a long, dramatic train that practically doubles as a skirt — the closest thing to bottoms the ensemble has to offer.

In lieu of pants, Carpenter wears a pair of sheer black tights, and a pair of black stilettos to complete the look.

Given Carpenter’s well-documented penchant for lingerie, it should come as no surprise that the pants-less outfit is a vintage Victoria’s Secret number from the brand’s 1997 runway show. It might not be the usual lingerie style she typically gravitates towards, but the sexy silhouette and adorable heart detail still feel very much in line with her signature style.

Not to mention, the dress was originally modeled by none other than Naomi Campbell on the runway. Carpenter has a lot to be proud of in 2024, but this might the most brag-worthy accomplishment of them all.

A Match Made In Heaven

This isn’t the first time the Girl Meets World actor has matched with Campbell. Back in June, the “Feather” songstress sported a mint-colored high-neck belted gown from Loewe at the Spanish brand’s Menswear Spring/Summer 2025 show at Paris Couture Week.

A month prior, Campbell wore the same head-turning ensemble while attending Vanity Fair’s “Women in Cinema” event in Cannes, France.

Sabrina Carpenter seemingly lives in lingerie these days. Throughout the campaign for her new album Short n’ Sweet, the singer’s wardrobe has stayed true to her album title, making most her outfits — from matching denim sets to babydoll dresses — just as short as her five-foot frame.

Therefore, it’s only natural that many of Carpenter’s favorite ensembles are made of lacy lingerie, especially on her Short n’ Sweet Tour stage. She exemplified her love of lingerie on Oct. 3, when she took a quick break from touring to perform her hit “Espresso” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in one of her cutest negligees to date.

Sabrina’s Baby Blue Lace

Carpenter wore a baby blue bodysuit with semi-sheer fabric for her performance, showing off just a tease of black cover-ups. Her bustier was embroidered with beads and sequins throughout and complete with beaded fringe at the hem.

She completed her costume with a pair of strappy pale blue ballet flats, a gold band, and, of course, a rhinestoned microphone with cherry-shaped gems.

Sabrina’s Short n’ Sweet Lingerie

Carpenter is in her lingerie bag more than ever on the Short n’ Sweet Tour, where she wears several bedazzled ensembles and adorable lacy creations. To open the show, the singer dons a glitzy towel she pretends to get ready in, only to reveal a bedazzled corset bodysuit custom-made by Victoria’s Secret, complete with lacy garter belts and fishnet tights.

A few songs later, Carpenter covers her glittery bodysuit with a sheer babydoll dress, which has tufted sleeves and a matching rhinestone neckline and hem.

Her love of lingerie goes beyond the stage, as Carpenter incorporated lacy garments into her album photoshoot. A couple of days after Short n’ Sweet was released, she posted a photo of her wearing a corset top over a lace bra and cheeky panties.

At this rate, it wouldn’t be surprising if Carpenter was called upon to be a model in the next Victoria’s Secret fashion show.
