A Look At The Fashion In Sabrina Carpenter's 'Please Please Please' Music Video
Please please please can we borrow from Sabrina's closet?
Sabrina Carpenter’s music video for her latest single ‘Please Please Please’ is pop icon heaven. The song, in which she begs her love interest to not embarrass her, is the lead single for her upcoming album ‘Short n Sweet’.
The video includes everything a lead single needs - and more. It has catchy lyrics, a hard launch of her relationship with Saltburn actor Barry Keoghan and some jaw-dropping fashion moments.
As Sabrina sings the hit lyric ‘I beg you don’t embarrass me motherfucker’ at Keoghan, she wears a deep-red corset by Dilara Findikoglu.
In an interview with Vogue, Ron Hartleben (stylist for Please Please Please), the Dilaria look signifies Sabrina’s growth in both music and fashion.
“What’s next is just continuing to mature and elevate the fashion and go into this more intense direction and explore her complexities.”
Lingerie is a staple for the character embodied by Sabrina. While talking about the costuming music video director, Bardia Zeinali said,
“I also wanted her character to have a hyper fixation—something in her wardrobe she’s fixated on the same way she is about this guy.”
Hartleben decided on thigh-high stockings. They were incorporated into every look from the pink Alexandre Vauthier fur coat to the blue velvet hooded Alaia dress.
“I have a fun idea, babe, maybe just stay inside,” Sabrina sings wearing a Frankie Shop cropped shirt, Alexander Wang mini skirt, and leopard print Giuseppe Zanotti platforms.
In contrast to Keoghan’s character, who sticks to a classic shirt and trousers for the majority of the video, Sabrina’s character shows off an array of designer outfits.
According to Zeinali, this was done to show the contrast in evolution between the characters. Each new outfit signified growth – she changed while he stayed the same but she stayed anyway.
“That idea of sticking by someone and hoping for them to change even when they don’t was important.” Said Zeinali.
For inspiration, Zeinali looked at ‘famously chaotic couples.’
“Pamela [Anderson] and Tommy Lee, Sid and Nancy, Madonna and Dennis Rodman,”
Hartleben added that they wanted it to be “an iconic wardrobe that is very specific and directional.”
