If anyone understands the power of the not-so-humble slip dress, it's Sabrina Carpenter. The singer’s wardrobe is a never-ending carousel of underwear-inspired pieces - stretching from tulle-trimmed babydoll tops to ruffled bloomers.
If you consider yourself part of the star’s fashion-forward fanbase, then today is your lucky day. Why? Because you can now own a slice of Sabrina’s very own wardrobe.
Sabrina’s go-to vintage haunt, My Runway Archive, has recently listed one of her stand-out style moments - an archival négligée dress from Galliano for Dior’s autumn/winter 1997 runway collection. The catwalk piece, worn to reign in the chart-topper’s 26th birthday, features a jacquard crêpe de chine construction, a pale celadon-yellow body with feminine, on-trend mini polka dot detailing, a slip silhouette and frothy dusty blue lace trims that exudes ethereal romance.
The collection from which the dress hailed was Galliano's first ready-to-wear collection for the house, following his couture collection debut in January 1997. At the time, Vogue described the couture collection as: “a spoof on ancient Egypt as seen through the eyes of Hollywood,” and its aesthetic as “Cleopatra meets Sid and Nancy, complete with trompe l’oeil tattoos and a jewel-of-the-Nile dress made entirely out of safety pins.”

My Runway Archive is selling the full whammy - perfect for collectors and those seeking a luxurious investment ensemble.
The 90s garment perfectly leaned into Sabrina's signature style - cheeky, sensual, yet ever-exciting. It was paired with some floral Galliano for Dior heels sourced from Sororite Vintage - adding an extra layer of early Aughts excellence to the feline aesthetic.
Sabrina wore her platinum blonde hair down in tumbling curls, framing her face to perfection and infusing her rare Dior attire with a touch of bedhead-chic.
