Sabrina Carpenter Stuns in Dangerously Low Backless Dress

The singer is no stranger to pushing the limits—and this backless dress comes dangerously close to crossing them.

Please, please, please… take a moment for one of Sabrina Carpenter’s most recent social media posts.

Known for pushing the limits, Carpenter, 26, took to Instagram on Monday, July 14, to share photos of herself in a red backless dress that shows off her entire back.

The front isn’t visible, but it appears to feature a halter neckline with ruching down the center. She wore her signature blond hair in soft waves, pulled into an updo, paired with a red lip and blushed cheeks that matched the vibe of the dress.

The “Espresso” singer seems to be enjoying her best life, wining and dining during a recent trip to Italy. As you swipe through the Instagram carousel, Carpenter can be seen playing on a seesaw with a friend sporting a kitten heel and bloomers. She also includes a photo of her feet up in the air with a cute pair of flip-flops from Old Navy and a thick blue anklet.

Another shot shows a “Manchild” pinball machine—a cheeky shoutout to her recent single, released Thursday, June 5.

The Grammy-winning pop star is set to release her seventh studio album, Man’s Best Friend, on August 29. This album comes after Carpenter had a public breakup with Barry Keoghan.

Carpenter and Keoghan, 32, first were photographed together in a post shared by W Magazine in February of 2024.

The release of Carpenter’s hit song “Please, Please, Please” helped solidify their relationship, with the Saltburn actor making a surprise appearance as the lead in the music video, which dropped in June 2024.

Only a few months later, rumors were circulating that the pair had split, with a source telling People that they had “decided to take a break” after about a year of dating.
