With the 2025 TV schedule bringing us to this weekend’s big SNL 50th anniversary blow out, Sabrina Carpenter’s presence in the room is something fans will want to prepare for. If you’re one such person, you’re not going to want to just memorize the Juno positions, you’re probably going to want to dress the part.
Which means all you Peacock subscription holders need to learn the ins and outs of what’s known as “Brinacore,” a fashion style so bespoke to Ms. Carpenter, she even has a polar opposite fashion strategy to avoid detection in public.
What Is Brinacore Exactly Anyway?
If I was going to describe Brinacore, I’d have to say it’s a combination of a couple of things. But the crux of this fashion style is a cross between a midcentury pin-up and Y2K nostalgia girly pop. It’s a look that’s suited the “Espresso” singer well during her various gigs, and fans can’t get enough of it.
Which is good, because Carpenter's upcoming SNL 50 appearance is most likely going to adhere to the aesthetic she displays during her lavish concerts. A new Vogue write-up on the style and its creator broke down the basics, which did include baby blue and/or pink tones as the preferred colors of this pop uniform.
And, of course, tons of hearts and sequins, as well as those Pleaser platform boots Sabrina Carpenter is famous for wearing, are all musts. Although now that I think about it, has anyone licensed the rights to sell "Please Please Pleasers" on the market?

So if you want to look like Sabrina in her most glammed out finest, the blueprint, full of heart cutouts, is readily available. However, with a look this distinct, it’s hard not to grab the attention of the crowd. And even if you’re the woman who tussled with Jenna Ortega in a Death Becomes Her coded music video, you’ll want some moments of peace and solitude. Which is why Sabrina Carpenter’s incognito style choices are just as important to keep in mind.
