Sabrina Carpenter is letting it all hang out for her latest magazine cover photo. The Espresso singer is dropping jaws and sparking debate online after stripping down for Rolling Stone Magazine. On the cover, the blonde bombshell is as close to naked as possible, and it seems that the internet has a lot of opinions about Sabrina’s decision to bare it all in a very public way.
This week, Rolling Stone debuted its July/August cover via Instagram, and Sabrina Carpenter was front and center. In the photo, the singer is seen on her knees and turned to the side. She goes completely naked for the snap except for a pair of see-through white lace thigh-high stockings.
Carpenter’s long, blonde hair is styled in loose curls that cascade down her back and nearly fall to the floor. Her locks also spill over her shoulder to help cover her bare chest. Sabrina has her arms crossed in front of her and her head tilted back as she looks off into the distance. In the background, a white pump can be seen, as well as a hookah pipe sitting on a nearby table.
Sabrina Carpenter Strips All The Way Down For Racy Rolling Stone Cover
“She’s the joke-cracking, wildly ambitious pop superstar that we all need. She’s also just getting started. In our cover story, Sabrina talks about fame, ‘Manchild,’ her new album ‘Man’s Best Friend,’ her friendship with Dolly Parton, drinking on tour, sex scenes in old movies, assertiveness, and a lot more. Hit the link in bio to read the interview and see all the photos,” the caption of the post reads.
Of course, Carpenter’s fans gushed over the photo and revealed how gorgeous the young singer looked in the photo. However, not everyone agreed with those sentiments. While there’s no doubt that Sabrina is stunning, over on X, critics were a bit harsh.
“This girl’s desperation for a sliver of attention from the male gaze has gotten embarrassing. I miss the old Sabrina,” one person wrote.
“Put clothes on! Have some respect for yourself,” another comment read.
“When did Rolling Stone turn into Playboy magazine?” a third person asked.
“Isn’t this cover better suited for Playboy?” agreed a fourth social media user.
“Is this her entire personality?” said another.
Over the past few years, Carpenter has both been celebrated and criticized for her hyper sexualized image and song lyrics. However, Buzzfeed previously pointed out that the singer should be applauded for being able to do something that not many other women have done in the past, and that’s embrace her sexuality while also keeping women at the heart of her fanbase.
“Sabrina Carpenter is genius for how she embraces her sexuality but still keeps women as her target audience. Like how is she performing in lingerie and I still feel like it’s not for men at all? I can’t comprehend it, but I love it,” one fan pointed out.
It looks like Sabrina Carpenter is continuing to evolve her career in the way she wants, whether her haters like it or not. Meanwhile, her fans can’t get enough and her music persists to top the charts.
