Sabrina Carpenter unveils a softer, whimsical side for her HITS Magazine cover, trading pop-star glam for a cottagecore (and canine-assisted) fantasy.
The pop star who recently had us all humming about lattes and jealousy debuts a wildly different aesthetic on the cover of HITS Magazine (August 11, 2025). This isn’t the polished, high-gloss Sabrina we’ve come to expect from her recent era; instead, she invites us into a sun-drenched, pastoral daydream. The image is a total mood shift, and it’s one that feels both surprising and utterly refreshing.
The cover look is an exercise in rural romance. Carpenter is seen wearing a white, off-the-shoulder dress with a delicate, embroidered texture that perfectly embodies the cottagecore trend. The silhouette is simple and timeless, with the dress’s sleeves sitting gently on her arms. This is the kind of fashion moment that doesn’t scream for attention, but rather, draws you in with its quiet charm. The entire scene—from the white lattice chairs to the lush greenery—feels like a vintage postcard brought to life. A daydream.
Her styling completes the serene picture. Wispy blonde bangs frame her face, and the rest of her hair falls in soft waves, a departure from the sleek, high-fashion looks she often sports. Her makeup is kept natural and dewy, enhancing the dreamy, effortless vibe. And, of course, the key accessory—a fluffy golden retriever puppy—adds a final, heartwarming touch of innocence.
