Young Photos of Sabrina Carpenter
She may be a breakout pop star now, but Sabrina Carpenter’s been in the spotlight since childhood. L’OFFICIEL looks back at her cutest early moments.

Sabrina Carpenter has spent the past year riding a major wave of success—her hit single “Espresso” launched her into global pop stardom, with her playful lyrics dominating charts and TikTok feeds alike. But this past week, the internet’s spotlight has shifted from praise to controversy, following the announcement of her upcoming album Man’s Best Friend.
The album’s title and provocative cover art quickly sparked backlash online, with some calling the concept “anti-feminist” and accusing Carpenter of leaning too heavily into sex appeal. It's a familiar critique the singer has faced before, and one she’s addressed directly. “It’s always so funny to me when people complain. They’re like, ‘All she does is sing about this.’ But those are the songs that you’ve made popular,” she told Rolling Stone. “Clearly you love sex. You’re obsessed with it.”
While much of the current discourse focuses on her as a rising pop provocateur, Carpenter’s fame started long before Espresso. She began acting and singing as a child, landing roles in early projects like Law & Order: SVU and Disney’s Sofia the First. Her breakout came in 2014, when she starred as Maya Hart on Girl Meets World, instantly gaining a devoted young fanbase.
Since then, she's transitioned from Disney Channel star to confident chart-topper, navigating fame’s highs and internet-fueled scrutiny in real time. Ahead, a look back at young Sabrina Carpenter through the years.
