Before the chart-topping singles and sold-out stadium dates on her “Short n’ Sweet” Tour , Sabrina Carpenter was making headlines for her high heels. The “Espresso” singer, who first got her taste of success as Maya Hart on Disney’s “Girl Meets World,” has turned shoe styling into a signature move — often opting for leg-lengthening silhouettes that punch up even her most polished looks. From early red carpet appearances in Dana Buchman and Kate Spade slingbacks to towering Louis Vuitton platforms at the Met Gala, Carpenter’s style evolution has been rooted in daring footwear choices that rarely miss.
Metallics, peep toes, sculptural straps — and lately, custom Naked Wolfe boots and crystal-studded heels built for the stage — have become staples in her rotation. And while she’s never shied away from a sky-high moment, her sneaker picks (including multiple Air Force 1 cameos) prove she knows when to keep things grounded.
Whether she’s front row at Fashion Week or accepting a Grammy in shimmering brown platforms, Carpenter’s shoes have always walked the line between pop princess and performance powerhouse. Scroll on for her most iconic pairs.
