Saturday Night Live is a cornerstone of American comedy. This year, the long-running NBC sketch show celebrated its 50th anniversary.

The SNL 50: The Anniversary Special brought together past and present cast members, Hollywood A-listers, and musical guests for an evening of great performances and more.

Among the many stars who graced the event, singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter was one. She gained notable acclamation from fans for her performance and red-carpet presence. The 25-year-old Grammy-winning artist, who made her SNL debut in 2024, returned to 30 Rockefeller Plaza for the special, dressed in a Versace gown that gave a nod to old Hollywood glamour.

Decoding Sabrina Carpenter’s look at SNL50: The Anniversary Special

Carpenter chose a nude-illusion Versace gown from the brand’s AW23 Ready-to-Wear collection for the event. The floor-length dress featured an asymmetrical off-the-shoulder neckline and was adorned with crystal embellishments. The beading created a relative raindrop effect, which gave the piece a shimmering look.

The fabric of the gown had a sheer-like illusion. The subtle metallic undertones in the dress complemented Carpenter’s blonde tresses, which she left open in soft waves. Keeping accessories to a minimum, she opted for a couple of rings and open-toe platform heels in a matching shade. It seems that she wanted to allow the gown to remain the focal point.

Her makeup was relatively understated. With a matte nude lip, blush, and winged eyeliner, Carpenter’s look aligned with the star-studded event and was quick to gain admiration from her fans.

Pop Crave took to its official X (formerly Twitter) page to share a glimpse of Sabrina Carpeneter's SNL 50 look, captioning,

"Sabrina Carpenter at the #SNL50 Anniversary special."

Under the comments of the post, one fan commented,

"Oh sabrina never fails to amaze us!"

Other netizens also gathered to swoon over Sabrina, with remarks carrying admiration. Below are what some of them had to share,

"Sabrina Sabrina the biggest one.", hyped another.

"She’s always unbelievable. So pretty.", lauded third.

"I absolutely love the dress", expressed a fourth.

"Sabrina Carpenter slayed at the #SNL50 Anniversary!", declared another.

Carpenter has become a rising star in the global music and entertainment industries. Though she first made her mark in acting as a Disney Channel star, enthusiasts have loved her transition to music.

Sabrina Carpenter gained notable recognition with hits like Nonsense and Espresso. The latter inspired a viral SNL sketch titled Bridesmaid Speech, featuring cast member Marcello Hernandez as the iconic character Domingo.
