Stylist Ron Hartleben on Dressing Sabrina Carpenter, Pop Star on the Rise
This summer, Sabrina Carpenter, a popular singer, is everywhere! In the view of the fact that she is releasing back-to-back Billboard Hot 100 hits “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” just two months apart.
Not only this but also she removed herself from the global Spotify songs chart in the process because she has established herself as a bona fide pop princess.
She always stands out from the crowd. It should be noted that her er catchy, retro pop and country-tinged tracks aren’t the only reason but her fashion choice help to set her apart. She showcases her flirty, feminine and chicly coquette looks every time from sparkly corsets to dresses with heart-shaped cutout cloths in her closet.
Ahead of her album release on August 23, Carpenter enlisted the help of stylist Ron Hartleben to curate a range of outfits for her “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” music videos.
Hartleben, a New York City stylist, has worked with clients such as Megan Fox, Pamela Anderson, Willow Smith, and Anitta. Since they started collaborating in 2022, he has styled Carpenter for several music videos, including “Because I Liked a Boy” and “Feather.”
He said, “With Sabrina specifically, she usually has a really strong point of view and there’s a really strong narrative with each music video or project we do. We’re trying to build characters and make identifiable silhouettes or wardrobe staples that make this character [she’s playing] more structured… It really starts with, ‘Who is the girl that she is playing in the role?”
The collaboration of Sabrina with Hartleben is built on trust. Meanwhile, clients like Carpenter give him complete control because of the style as well as fashion.
He said of working with the singer, “There’s not necessarily [conversations], like, ‘Oh, I love this dress’ or ‘Oh, I love this designer. It’s more so [Carpenter] trusting me to know what’s going to make [her] look the best and feel the most confident.”
He added, “You want the person to feel comfortable. No matter if it’s a string bikini or a burlap sack. If they feel comfortable and if they feel confident in it, then that will exude in the video or the photo.”
Hartleben explained, “We wanted to [reference] the ’50s and ’60s, that era of old-school swimming suits and Marilyn Monroe, but also modernize it and make it a little more contemporary and still young and fresh for today.”
On the black mesh halter swimsuit by Norma Kamali of Carpenter, Hartlebe is specified as a “great staple piece” that effortlessly blends the past with the present. Additionally, she was also spotted in a textured two-piece by Viktor & Rolf which he justified as a more modern and fashion-forward take on a vintage bathing suit.

He said, “We made a few custom things that were a bit more old-school but had a new kind of flair to them. Maybe the colors were updated or we accessorized it in a way that was still Old Hollywood but believable for today.”
