While Espresso has been dominating the charts all summer long, Sabrina Carpenter's signature buttery blow-dry and accompanying curtain fringe has reigned supreme on our August beauty moodboards. Complete with volume, gloss and that timeless 90s shape, it's no surprise that blondes everywhere have flocked to adopt the singer's trademark bombshell locks this season; at least, until the 25-year-old herself cast the viral 'do aside this week.

Carpenter took to the red carpet of Variety's 2024 Power of Young Hollywood at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel, California yesterday, debuting her natural curly hair texture on the red carpet for the very first time. The singer sidelined her dramatic, glamorous look in favour of a far beachier up-do with face framing tendrils and textured sunkissed waves. Think Amanda Seyfried in Mamma Mia! meets Kate Hudson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days - yellow gown included.

This isn't the first time that Carpenter has teased her natural texture, however. The singer shared a string of holiday photos via Instagram last month, showing her softly tousled strands styled both loosely and braids, wavy as can be. It's safe to say, we're obsessed to see her curly hair make its way into the spotlight for red carpets now too.

For so many of us, the UK's recent string of heatwaves has meant that we're also embracing our natural bends, waves and curls, as humidity and sweat pry them from sleek or straightened styles. You need only look at the difference between the beginning and end of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour shows as an example; the transition from glossy, heat-treated strands to voluminous curly tresses is impressive.
