Sabrina Carpenter just celebrated her 27th birthday, and true to fashion, she served a serious moment. While the House Tour singer stunned in a purple gown that screamed Old Hollywood glamour, it was her hair that really took the spotlight. Stepping away from her usual bouncy blowouts, Sabrina channelled her inner Carrie Bradshaw with a head of tight, voluminous blonde curls.

A breakdown of the look

Taking to Instagram to share a selection of photos from her big day, Sabrina debuted a new look to her 50million followers. Moving away from her usual 60s-esque bangs and loose waves, the singer opted for a tighter, more structured curl that screamed 90s Sarah Jessica Parker. Think lots of volume, texture and defined ringlets, coupled with a lived-in honey blonde colour.
