Pop superstar looks unrecognizable in throwback snap
A POP superstar left fans doing a double take after an unrecognizable throwback snap resurfaced online.
The songstress, now 26, cut a completely different look as she posed with singer pal Zara Larsson, 27, at a swanky event in Italy.
Gone were her signature sexy stage outfits and platform heels in favour of a more demure black suit and point-toe heels.
And Sabrina Carpenter fans simply couldn’t believe the Espresso songstress’ appearance in the seven-year-old image.
The American’s blonde locks were much longer and in a darker shade, tied up in a high ponytail.
She added a flick of black eyeliner and struck a perfect pose for her snaps at Milan Fashion Week in 2018.

One fan on Reddit was quick remark on her “wild” rebranding, which has seen her switch up her look with mid-length platinum blonde hair and sexy outfits.
She’s become more daring with her fashion choices, stripping off for magazine shoots and was even forced to defend herself against backlash on her latest album cover which saw her on all fours.
A pop fan has now posted on the forum afte the old image resurfaced: “Sabrina’s rebranding is wild! And it’s not a critique, before someone comes for me. She found her aesthetic.”
Another posted: “Pre-Short N Sweet (aka pre-bangs + glam) Sabrina is wild to look back on.”
A third wrote: “She looks way different but I think this is one of the rare cases where it’s really just aging (not aging as in “old” but as in “aging into adulthood”) and the bangs.”
Another said of the pair: “Yes styling is EVERYTHING! Went from cute high school girls to SUPERSTARS.”
One surmised: “Sabrina looks so pretty this way, I love her stage persona too, but this fits her so well.”
Sabrina first found fame in the acting world, on the Disney TV show Boy Meets World reboot, Girl Meets World.
She played Maya Hart on the series for three years, from 2014 to 2017.
