At only 23 years old, Sabrina Carpenter has had an expansive career. She’s already been a Disney Channel darling, starred in Netflix-favorite movies, released her own music, and was part of a viral TikTok fan controversy. But now, it’s clear she’s making art on her own terms and sharing her most personal music yet. However, growing up in the spotlight means we’ve seen her approach to beauty evolve along with her career — although her signature blonde hair and affinity for black eyeliner remain constant.
