Fresh from dropping her first holiday special, Carpenter wore a vintage Lillie Rubin black skirt suit with leopard-print accents, including a plush fur shawl collar and arm cuffs. Actually, this is the exact outfit Fran rocked in the first episode of the iconic ’90s sitcom The Nanny, and it even made its way into promotional photos. The jacket had a flared, peplum waistline, nearly equating with the black miniskirt underneath.

The singer wore a striking ensemble with sheer Calzedonia tights, bold black leather platform pumps, and a glossy black leather briefcase. Her hair was styled in a voluminous ’90s blowout, reminiscent of the iconic Fran. The look combines modern chic with retro flair, showcasing her unique ability to turn heads and make a statement wherever she goes. Carpenter’s bag? It totally channels the one Fran had in that same episode. The briefcase complemented her sophisticated and practical attire, while her hair exuded confidence and nostalgia.
Recently, Carpenter has been all about mixing vintage finds into her style. There’s the vintage Chanel fur from Karl Lagerfield for a screening of her upcoming Netflix Christmas special, A Nonsense Christmas. The ensemble included a cropped black-and-white shaggy jacket, a black cashmere minidress with a drop waist, and a fur skirt. Carpenter also wore pointed black mules with a fuzzy white strap. Her signature blonde hair was styled in a curly half-up-half-down look, complemented by rosy glazed glam and a glossy deep pink lip.
And before that a vintage Bob Mackie gown to the MTV Video Music Awards, which previously worn by Madonna to the 1991 Academy Awards, featuring a crystal-encrusted sweetheart neckline and twinkling white sequins.
