Sabrina Carpenter [1] took cutouts [2] to a new extreme in a psychedelic Moschino gown at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards [3]. Her look perfectly balanced her sweet and sultry sides, combining vibrant prismacolor sequined flower details with an edgy, laser-sharp silhouette. In addition to a plunging keyhole neckline, Carpenter's dress also featured large hip cutouts [4], curving around the waist and exposing parts of her midsection. The fabric molded into a thong dress [5] in the back, taking the look to bolder heights.
Carpenter played off the gown's '70s theme, with her hair stylist, Jennifer Yepez, choosing long, bouncy waves, and a coordinating black satin headband from Jennifer Behr. Having just released her fifth studio album, "Emails I Can't Send," this look sends a clear message that her style is evolving. Although cutouts are typically seen as daring, Carpenter managed to make them look wearable and fun. See more angles of her outfit ahead, and get inspired to rock your own cutout look.
