Sabrina Carpenter graced the 2024 MTV VMAs red carpet in a dress that seemed tailor-made for a pop sensation. With seven nominations, including Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for “Espresso,” Carpenter celebrated her achievements in true star fashion, channeling none other than Madonna. Partnering with her stylist, Jared Ellner, she turned to Tab Vintage, a go-to source for archival celebrity fashion, to create a look perfect for the occasion. “Jared and his team shared an incredible mood board,” Tab’s owner Alexis Novak told Vogue. “We sent them a selection of pieces, and we’re thrilled with what she chose!”
This is the same dress that Madonna wore at the 1991 Oscars with Michael Jackson!
Madonna was in attendance to perform her soon-to-be Oscar-winning song ‘Sooner or Later’ from the Dick Tracy soundtrack.
Madonna was dressed in homage to Marylin Monroe, wearing jewellery worth a reported $20 million, while holding Michael Jackson’s gloved hand. It wasn’t long before rumours of an unexpected romance had begun.
Speaking about the date later on, Madonna explained how it all came about.
“Michael was like, ‘Well who are you gonna go with?’ I looked at him and said, ‘I don’t know. You wanna go?’ And he said, ‘Yeah, that’d be great.’”
She added: “And then, yes, he took me home. You wanna know what happened after that? I’m not gonna tell you.”
