Sabrina Carpenter is quickly becoming a beacon of modern pop, but it’s not just the star’s killer vocals and catchy tracks that have caught the attention of the public.

Sabrina’s distinct hair and makeup has helped establish her vintage-styled pop mythology and become a recognisable part of her branding. But before she was sporting bouncy blonde locks and ultra-bright blush, Sabrina’s signature beauty look was… pretty different.

Given she has been in the spotlight for over a decade now (and she has a notorious digital footprint) we have seen the star go through several phases with her hair and makeup. Scroll on to look back at Sabrina Carpenter’s beauty evolution.
