Okay, so here’s the deal. I was totally vibing with Sabrina Carpenter’s whole aesthetic lately, you know? That effortlessly cool, kinda vintage, definitely chic thing she’s got going on. I decided, “Hey, I wanna try and capture that in my own way!” So, I dove in headfirst.
First things first, inspiration. I spent a solid hour just scrolling through her Instagram, saving pics to a dedicated folder. I was looking for recurring themes, colors, vibes – anything that stood out. I noticed a lot of warm tones, browns, creams, and a pop of muted color here and there. Think 70s but make it modern, ya know?
Next up: wardrobe. This was the trickiest part because, let’s be real, I don’t have Sabrina’s budget. I raided my closet first, pulling out anything that felt remotely close: a brown corduroy jacket, a cream-colored knit sweater, some high-waisted jeans. Then, I hit up a few thrift stores and found a killer vintage blouse with a subtle floral print. Score!
Okay, so, outfit? Check. Now for the makeup. Her makeup is usually pretty natural, but with a focus on glowing skin and defined eyes. I started with a light coverage foundation, added some concealer where needed, and then went HAM with the bronzer and blush. I’m talking sun-kissed goddess vibes. For the eyes, I did a simple brown eyeshadow look with a winged liner and lots of mascara. And of course, a nude lip. Can’t forget that!
The last piece of the puzzle: hair. Sabrina often rocks loose waves or a simple ponytail. I went with the waves. I used my curling iron to create some soft, effortless curls and then brushed them out for a more relaxed look. A little hairspray to keep everything in place, and BAM! Done.
Finally, it was time for the photo shoot. I didn’t have a fancy studio or anything, so I just used natural light in my apartment. I found a few good spots with neutral backgrounds and started snapping pics. I tried to channel Sabrina’s confidence and pose in a way that felt both natural and flattering.
After the shoot, I did some light editing in Lightroom. I adjusted the colors to make them warmer and more vintage-looking, and I smoothed out my skin a bit (no shame!). Then, I posted a few of my favorite photos on Instagram and waited for the likes to roll in. Did I completely nail the “aesthetic Sabrina Carpenter” look? Maybe not. But I had a ton of fun experimenting and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. And that’s what really matters, right?
