Here is a styling lesson hiding in a white scarf: Sabrina Carpenter made a soft green knit dress feel like a whole outfit by adding one crocheted accessory on her head. It took one post, and the internet is now looking for the same combination.
She shared the look on her own Instagram a few days ago, and several outlets picked it up on October 3.
See the original post on Sabrina Carpenter’s official Instagram.
What Sabrina Carpenter wore
Reality Tea reports that the dress is a soft green knit minidress from Bernadette Antwerp, priced at $795. It has white daisy embroidery across the chest and shoulders, plus a small bow at the back of the neckline.
On her head is a white crochet headscarf tied loosely, with blonde waves falling underneath. Marie Claire included the look in its celebrity looks of the week round-up and described the colour as lime, while other outlets call it soft green. Colour often shifts between photos, so the safest description is a fresh, light green.
The look, piece by piece
- The dress: Bernadette Antwerp knit minidress in soft green, with white daisy embroidery and a bow at the neckline.
- The headwear: a white crochet headscarf, tied loosely.
- The hair: blonde waves worn loose underneath the scarf.
- The accessories: almost none. Reports note there was no major jewelry competing with the dress.
Shoes were not mentioned in any report we found, so we will not guess.
Why it works
Green and white is a classic pair. The daisy embroidery already echoes the white scarf, so the two pieces look like they belong together even though they are totally different textures.
Knit and crochet share the same handmade feel. That is what keeps the look sweet instead of costume-y: nothing is shiny, stiff or heavily structured.
Skipping jewelry is the third trick. When the pieces already carry detail, adding necklaces and earrings turns a clean outfit into a crowded one.
The bigger trend: handmade textures
Crochet, knit and embroidery keep showing up because they feel personal in a season of mass-produced everything. A scarf with visible stitches says someone made something, and that reads as more interesting than a logo.
It is also a very forgiving trend. Imperfect stitches, slightly uneven edges and soft colours all look intentional, so you do not need to be precise to pull it off.
How to wear a crochet headscarf
A scarf like this is easier than it looks. Fold a square into a triangle, place the long edge at your hairline and tie the ends under your hair at the nape, or at the top of your head for a more relaxed shape.
If you have never worn one, our guide to head scarf styling tricks walks through several easy knots. Leave a few face-framing strands out, because it softens the whole shape.
Where to find one
Search for a white or cream crochet triangle scarf or a lightweight bandana. Handmade versions on resale marketplaces are often cheaper than chain store options and more interesting too. You can also tie a plain cotton square for a similar silhouette.
How to recreate the dress for less
A $795 dress is not for everybody, but the formula is simple. You want a fitted or relaxed knit dress or sweater dress in a soft spring green, with a little white detail somewhere.
- Budget: a green ribbed knit dress or long sweater from a chain store, plus a white scarf.
- Mid-range: a knit with embroidery or a crochet trim from an independent label.
- Splurge: a designer knit like the one Sabrina wore, if the colour and the fit are exactly what you want.
If the neckline or back is more revealing than you like, a fine white tee underneath or a lightweight cardigan across the shoulders changes the mood completely without losing the colour story.
Hair and makeup to match
Loose, slightly undone waves are the right partner for a scarf, because the hair peeks out and keeps things soft. Add a sheer peach blush, a little mascara and a glossy nude lip so the face matches the fresh, sunny feel of the green.
If your hair is short, tie the scarf higher on the head and let the ends of your hair flick out underneath. Straight hair? Add a light texture spray first, so the scarf has something to grip.
Three outfit formulas with the same idea
- Coffee run: green knit dress, white trainers, scarf tied low at the nape.
- Office casual: green sweater over a white shirt and straight trousers, scarf looped on your bag handle.
- Weekend brunch: green midi skirt, cream knit top, scarf worn as a headband.
Making it a fall outfit
A green knit is naturally seasonal. Add opaque tights and ankle boots for cooler days, then top it with a camel or cream coat. For more cosy inspiration, take a look at our summer to fall transition outfits.
Green shades also sit well with warm autumn neutrals. Pair it with chestnut boots, a tan bag and gold hoops, then check our ultimate fall outfit list for more colour pairings.
Who this style suits
Soft green flatters cool and warm skin tones alike, which makes it one of the easiest colours to wear. The scarf suits almost any hair length and is also a quick fix for a day when your hair will not cooperate.
Prefer less volume on top? Use a thin cotton scarf instead of a chunky crochet one and tie it close to the head.
Frequently asked questions
What brand is Sabrina Carpenter’s green dress?
Reports identify it as a Bernadette Antwerp knit minidress. It is priced at $795 according to Reality Tea.
What colour is the dress, exactly?
Marie Claire calls it lime green, while others describe a soft green. Photos vary, so look for a light, fresh green rather than a neon.
What is she wearing on her head?
A white crochet headscarf, tied loosely with her blonde waves visible underneath.
Can I wear this look in winter?
Yes. Layer a long-sleeve tee or turtleneck under the dress, add thick tights and boots, and keep the scarf as a pop of white under a beanie or coat hood.
How do I stop a scarf from slipping?
Tie it over clean, slightly textured hair, or slide two bobby pins in at each temple. A thin headband underneath also adds grip.
The takeaway
You do not need a designer dress to borrow this idea. Pick a soft colour, add one handmade texture, and keep everything else quiet.
