Sabrina Carpenter Shuts Down Coachella Weekend 2 in Custom Dior—Go Inside Her Jaw-Dropping Outfits

Sabrina Carpenter performs at Coachella 2026 Weekend 2 in custom Dior outfits.

Coachella 2026 has made one thing very clear: Sabrina Carpenter is a headliner with a clear vision, which includes custom Dior outfits. Following her jaw-dropping performance last week, anticipation was sky-high for Carpenter's return to the festival for Weekend 2. (It didn't disappoint—just watch the unexpected Madonna cameo for proof.)

For Weekend 1, the "House Tour" singer wore five different custom Dior outfits. From her ruby red drop-waist mini dress to a mock-neck mini, which was covered in champagne-colored sequins and featured boho chiffon sleeves, Carpenter's wardrobe only elevated her status as a pop fashion superstar.

For Weekend 2, Carpenter enlisted Dior once again. The fashion house reimagined the singer's festival looks in brand new color ways—and with extra onstage details. Basically, if anyone knows how to put on a show worthy of Coachella, it's the "Espresso" icon.

Carpenter's Coachella outfits mark one of the first forays into onstage costuming for Dior's new creative director, Jonathan Anderson. He previously created a pink silk skirt set—which took 100 hours to make—for Blackpink's Jisoo. Ethel Cain is also dressing in head-to-toe Dior for her Coachella set this weekend.

Dior shared an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Carpenter's inimitable, custom-made costumes for Weekend 2 of Coachella 2026, which will be remembered for decades to come.

Sabrina Carpenter's Second Custom Dior Coachella Outfit

Carpenter's second outfit of the night—a sparkling, hot pink dress with delicate chiffon sleeves and a mock-neck—was another Dior recreation. For Weekend 1, the superstar wore champagne-colored sequins, which were replaced with hot pink sparkles for her return to the stage.

One thing that didn't change for Carpenter's second weekend headlining Coachella was her footwear. The pop star once again tapped her Short n' Sweet shoe collaborator, Christian Louboutin, wearing white Mary Jane Pumps from the designer, as well as the label's Pumppie Wallis Mary Jane Pumps in black.

Carpenter also rewore her Stuart Weitzman Lucie 75 Knee-High Boots in Cream Leather, with the style only emphasizing her penchant for a '70s starlet aesthetic.

One of the evening's biggest surprises was an unexpected appearance from Madonna, who joined Carpenter for renditions of "Vogue" and "Like a Prayer," along with a brand new duet. According to Variety, the new song is "rumored to be on [Madonna's] upcoming album Confessions II."

Needless to say, no-one is going to forget Carpenter's Coachella 2026 performance or her impeccable custom Dior outfits.
