Sabrina Carpenter’s VMAs after-party moment not only sparked major buzz online but also caught the attention of music legend Tina Turner.
The pop star was among the music artists who made heads turn with their presence and impeccable sense of fashion.
Apart from her notable performance of her song “Tears” from her new album Man’s Best Friend, she also took home multiple awards. These include Best Pop Artist, Best Album for Short n’ Sweet and Best Visual Effects.
While the red carpet shimmered with Hollywood’s glitz and glam and the audience was entertained with jaw-dropping performances, the VMAs after-party turned up the energy with star-studded arrivals, among them the pop sensation.
Carpenter’s outfit featured a multi-colored dress with fringe details that perfectly complemented her sexy, petite figure.
The vintage Bob Mackie ensemble was a nod to 70s pop culture icon Cher.
The dress was worn by the “Believe” singer in a 1975 episode of her program, The Cher Show.
At the time, the award-winning legend performed a duet of “Shame Shame Shame” with Turner, with both music icons twinning on stage in nearly identical dresses.
While Carpenter’s outfit made headlines, the “What’s Love Got to Do With It” singer also gave a special shoutout to the 26-year-old music star.
In an Instagram post, she shared a video of her and Cher on stage wearing the Bob Mackie dress.
The second post featured the “Please Please Please” singer at the VMAs after-party.
“Sabrina Carpenter wearing the iconic archival @bobmackie bodysuit worn by @cher during her performance with Tina on The Cher Show in 1975,” she captioned her post.
Amid the fans debating whether the pop singer was deserving to wear the archival piece, she took to the comment section and dropped multiple sparkling hearts emojis to honor the legendary singers who inspired her outfit.
Apart from her comment on Turner’s Instagram, she also re-shared the post of “River Deep Mountain” on her Instagram Story.
“Miss Tina!!!!” she wrote, along with sparkling hearts emojis signaling her admiration.
