The 2026 Grammy Awards sparkled a little brighter tonight, thanks to Sabrina Carpenter. The pop sensation turned heads in a custom Valentino gown that could only be described as pure fairy-tale romance.

Every inch shimmered with white beads, tiny pearls, and crystals, giving the look a glamorous vibe.

Carpenter’s night was not just about fashion. She is in the running for six Grammy Awards for her latest album, 'Man’s Best Friend.' Her nominations span major categories including, Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, and Best Music Video for her hit “Manchild.”

© Neilson BarnardReflecting on her Grammy journey, Carpenter’s rise is meteoric. She celebrated her first Grammy win last year, describing the experience as a dream realized. “I want to thank Island Records and—what the hell?” she said, with her trademark mix of humor and sincerity. “I don’t know if I’m allowed to say hell, but I said it three times now, so thank you. This is so special to me, and Short n’ Sweet means the world.”
