Sabrina Carpenter, 26, stepped out in New York City on Tuesday night looking effortlessly chic in a head-to-toe butter yellow ensemble. The singer, fresh from performing at Austin City Limits Music Festival over the weekend, looked effortlessly cool in her latest outing.
The musician paired a densely knitted off-the-shoulder mini dress with matching slouchy calf-length socks and nude Manolo Blahnik Sedaraby D’orsay pumps, complete with a bejeweled brooch at the toes.

The chunky knit, in pale yellow and white yarn, nods to the seasonal shades popular over the summer, as seen on Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber, and Jennifer Lawrence.

She continued, "If I walk a little taller, my posture is a little better, I’m just a happier person when I’m in something that I feel really good in." She added, "Lord knows I’ve worn some really tragic things on carpets. It’s all about growth."

The socks-and-heels combination, popularized in the 1960s by Audrey Hepburn and Twiggy and embraced in the 1980s and 1990s by luxury designers like Versace, is back on trend and perfectly showcased in Carpenter’s ensemble.
