WITH her saucy song lyrics, raunchy outfits, ‘x-rated' dance moves and incredible singing talent, there are endless reasons why Sabrina Carpenter is one of the world's most talked-about pop acts.
There's no denying the gifted Espresso singer, 25, always looks incredible and knows how to put on a show – even when raising (more than) a few eyebrows along the way.
And it's all paying off, with now one of the biggest popstars in the world with an estimated of £9.2million.
But while it appears the former child star is courting controversy by with her performances, experts believe she knows exactly what she's doing.
In fact, creating ‘outrage' could well be the key to her phenomenal success, including at the Grammys earlier this year.
Speaking exclusively to Flying Eze, Brand and Culture expert Nick Ede says: “Sabrina knows that sex sells – and so does her team.
“She may be causing complaints but it's nothing new and it’s a tried and tested formula that’s been used since pop music began.”
Beauty and especially my hair is a big part of my identity.

However, there's also a far more subtle feature Sabrina herself credits as being a “big part” of her identity that also attracts attention… her flattering fringe and versatile hair.
And it's a look easily created at home, too.
Celebrity hair stylist Nicholas James says: “Sabrina’s bombshell hair speaks for itself, demanding attention on the red carpet.
“Her wispy curtain fringe harmonises her overall look, beautifully accentuating her features and framing her face.
“Her hair has been a cultural reset – and her big, bouncy, beautiful blonde hair has been giving everyone serious hair envy.
“The reason being that [her style] merges her innate playfully sweet essence with her elegant, sultry look.”
‘Pin-up girl aesthetic'
It comes as no surprise then that the starlet was announced as hair brand Redken's first ever global ambassador last September.
“Beauty and especially my hair is a big part of my identity,” she commented as she launched the partnership.
“I've always dreamed of partnering with a hair brand and waited to find the right partner.
“It's been the secret to keeping my hair looking its best and I can't wait to share what we've been working on together.”
Victoria Lynch, hair extensions expert and founder of Remi Cachet, adds: “Sabrina Carpenter’s hair is the ultimate look for vintage ’70s glamour—full of bounce, movement, and high shine.
“Her signature rounded fringe and bouncy blow dry give her that playful, pin-up girl aesthetic.”
Delicate facial features
As well as her hair and professional success – including a string of hit singles and a collection of awards under her belt (she won best pop album at this year's Grammys) – Sabrina is also constantly complimented for her overall beauty.
And it's not hard to see why, with the star always looking immaculate, whether she's on stage or on the red carpet.
Amish Patel, Award-Winning Aesthetics Practitioner & Skincare Expert at Intrigue Cosmetic Clinic says: “Sabrina has a very desirable sweetheart facial shape and balanced symmetry in her facial proportions with large open eyes.
“Her lips are full without dominating her delicate features, and she has full and defined apple cheeks with a high bone structure.”
Dr. Ducu is founder and medical director of Dr Ducu Clinics.
He says: “Sabrina Carpenter embodies the classic features that many consider conventionally attractive big, expressive eyes, a delicate nose, and full lips, all framed by a symmetrical face.
“Her youthful, doll-like appearance gives her a universally appealing look, which is often associated with the ‘golden ratio' of facial symmetry.
“This balance and proportion are key factors in what makes a face aesthetically pleasing.
“Sabrina's high cheekbones and softly contoured jawline also contribute to an elegant and harmonious facial structure.”
The ‘golden ratio'
There's actually a scientific reason why Sabrina is perceived to be so beautiful, known as the ‘golden ratio' – a mathematical principle relating to proportions often used to analyse facial beauty.
Consultant Facial Plastic Surgeon Mr Anil Joshi adds: “I often assess attractiveness through the lens of symmetry and the golden ratio.
“Sabrina, with her large eyes, high cheekbones, and full lips exemplifies these features.”
People innately find facial symmetry appealing because it signals genetic health.
“Sabrina’s large eyes are striking, we will subconsciously associate them with youth and femininity, while her high cheekbones enhance the definition and contour of her face.
“This achieves a highly desirable V-shape. Her impressive full lips convey femininity and are linked with vitality and attractiveness as well.
“Together, these elements align closely with what we call golden ratio, nature’s magical mathematical principle, it delineates beauty.”
Refreshing tip
While she's lucky enough to be a natural beauty, that's not to say Sabrina doesn't put the work in with a good routine to keep her skin glowing – and she credits one super simple and affordable product for keeping her looking refreshed.
Speaking to The Strategist, she says: “Whenever I'm tired or my skin doesn't feel super great, I love rose-water spray' as a quick refresher.
“It smells really good. I use it on the plane, and I have one in my car as well.
“When I’m in the studio or on set it’s so easy for me to get tired, so this also wakes me up.
“It’s really great for sensitive skin, and it’s never made my makeup run.“
Courting controversy… and why not?
Whatever Sabrina does right now, it seems she knows how to ensure all eyes are firmly on her, and it's a strategy experts predict is set to skyrocket her into the illustrious pop hall of fame, alongside the likes of Madonna and Cher.
Brand and Culture expert Nick adds: “She's courting controversy at the moment with her x-rated performances and saucy lyrics.
“But she's walking a path that many pop stars have trodden previously – creating a controversial persona whilst always in control of the narrative.
“And female pop stars have always used their sexuality to create headline moments.
“, , , Grace Jones and even Cher have worn sexy clothing to bring all the attention to them – and if it works then why not?”
