Sabrina Carpenter made her Grand Ole Opry debut in Nashville with a bedazzled fringe dress to match the occasion. The singer’s big night on Tuesday involved walking onstage in a sparkling archival Bob Mackie gown that drew cheers as soon as the lights hit it. It was a classic Opry moment with a young star stepping onto a historic stage in a look that was all about music history.
Sabrina Carpenter wears an archival Bob Mackie dress for Grand Ole Opry debut
Sabrina Carpenter’s bedazzled fringe dress at the Grand Ole Opry debut came from Bob Mackie’s archive. It was first made for legendary star Ann-Margret in the 1970s. It is a one-shoulder black jersey design with sheer panels and heavy crystals. The lower section of the dress is made of long beaded fringe strips. Carpenter finished the look with glitter pumps and her blonde waves cascading down her shoulders.
Carpenter expressed gratitude on social media after the show. She wrote, “Last night i made my @opry debut in Nashville and what a magical night it was.” The singer thanked the star who brought her out, “The brilliant @sherylcrow took the time to come out and introduce me.” She added that she is the “biggest fan ever” and that “made my whole night alone if nothing else!!!”
She continued, “thank you to the showstopping band that accompanied me last night.” Carpenter continued, “thank you to my amazing fans who came out and for the Opry frequenters that opened me with welcome ears and hearts.” Carpenter concluded, “I’m a lucky girl!”
The set included her new track “Go Go Juice,” which she performed live for the first time. It was reportedly a nod to Opry legends. Carpenter has recent ties to country icons too, teaming up with Dolly Parton earlier this year for a remix of “Please Please Please.”
Sabrina Carpenter’s Grand Ole Opry debut blended past and present with her bedazzled fringe dress. With the Mackie archive on her shoulders and a full house in front of her, Carpenter looked every bit the headliner.
