Sabrina Carpenter says she feels 'attacked and ridiculed' by some men as she covers Vogue Italia

Sabrina Carpenter channels French sex symbol Brigitte Bardot in a stunning new cover shoot for Vogue Italia.

The American singer, 26, posed up for the publication and spoke about her approach to music, her image, and her fans.

After the recent release of her new album Man's Best Friend, she spoke about the opposite sex and cheekily remarked, "I do think that men have been a super entertaining species to watch. In positive and negative ways."

"I feel really adored and inspired and loved by some of them… and really confused and attacked and ridiculed by others," she admitted to the publication.

On the cover, the Espresso and Please Please Please singer, who previously dated Irish actor Barry Keoghan, 32, wears a designer outfit.

But all eyes are on the styling, which includes a sharp winged eye and a retro-style blow dry.

She remarked about the fashion photoshoot, where the subsequent spread features black and white images: "It looked kind of glamorous and '60s and black-and-white and really elegant and moody and Brigitte Bardot and very sexy and so it seems quite exciting to me."

More recently, the hitmaker, who supported Taylor Swift during her Eras Tour in 2024, has copped some criticism over the album artwork for Man's Best Friend and even some of her more risqué songs.

She told Rolling Stone in an interview: "I don't want to be pessimistic, but I truly feel like I've never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more, and scrutinised in every capacity.

"I'm not just talking about me. I'm talking about every female artist that is making art right now."
