Sabrina Carpenter fans baffled by her Madonna-inspired appearance on Vogue: 'Didn't recognize her!'

Sabrina Carpenter looked incredible on the March 2025 cover of Vogue magazine, rocking a Marilyn Monroe inspired look - complete with white blonde hair curls.

Some people took to the comments to state that she didn't look like her, claiming that she looked 'heavily edited.'

'Couldn't recognize her at first,' another wrote.

'Wow didn't realize it was her,' someone wrote on X, formerly Twitter. 

The 25-year-old singer appeared to also channel Madonna, with fans taking to social media to talk about the uncanny resemblance. 

Sabrina was also photographed by Steven Meisel for the Vogue cover - who has photographed Madonna on many occasions.

The pop star dazzled in a baby blue Dolce & Gabbana - another nod to Madonna - who famously rocked the silhouette during the 80s and 90s. 

Others noted that she looks 'great' and that she is in 'her Nonsense era but make it high fashion.'

The Madonna comparisons were a hot topic on social media, with many people calling the icon Sabrina's inspiration - even noting that they could even be related.

'Madonna took the substance and Sabrina Carpenter was created,' one wrote. 

'Damn Madonna is really passed out in a secret hideout in Sabrina's Bathroom,' another joked. 

'Sabrina referencing Madonna is so important to me. Two women who always get criticized for how open they are for embracing their sexuality, even tho there is so much more to them than that,' a fan noted. 

Another reflected on Madonna as an icon and someone who paved the way for many of the current singers, before calling Sabrina's look as 'stunning.'

'Seeing this Sabrina Carpenter by Steven Meisel for Vogue US cover/editorial makes me think a lot about how Madonna is and will always be very relevant in pop culture and fashion, the girls will always drink water from her fountain. With that being said, Sabrina looks stunning!' 

Sabrina became a household name as an actress, starring in Disney Channel's Girl Meets World from 2014 until 2017.

She sang the series' theme song alongside Rowan Blanchard, her co-star on the show. 

Her debut single Can't Blame a Girl For Trying in March 2014; her debut album Eyes Wide Open dropped 2015. 

She followed up albums Evolution in 2016, Singular: Act I, Singular: Act II and Emails I Can't Send in 2022.

The latter album featured the track Nonsense, which went viral on Tik Tok.

Sabrina was the opening act for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in 2023 - 2024 for a select number of shows, cementing her status as an It Girl in the music world. 

Her sixth album Short n' Sweet was released in August 2024, featuring hit songs Espresso, Taste and Please Please Please - which all became worldwide hits. 

The pop star recently won her first Grammy award - and also collected a second Grammy as well - during the ceremony one week prior.
