Meet Sabrina Carpenter's Man's Best Friend cover stylist Jared Ellner: the former fashion editor worked on the now infamous album image, and has also outfitted Emma Chamberlain and Sydney Sweeney
The album cover for Sabrina Carpenter 's Man's Best Friend – featuring the pop star in a stunning archive Dolce & Gabbana minidress – quickly sparked widespread debate. The look was styled by none other than Jared Ellner, who was also the visionary behind her wardrobe in the new 'Manchild' music video. The alternative album cover dropped by Sabrina Carpenter, which she dubbed 'approved by God'. Photo: @sabrinacarpenter/Instagram The cover image, featuring Carpenter on all fours next to a man gripping her hair, received criticism from the public for hyper-sexualising women. In response, the artist released an alternative version she cheekily said was 'approved by God'. Advertisement Ellner is no stranger to pushing boundaries. He was the mastermind behind Carpenter's wildly successful Short n' Sweet era wardrobe: her signature glittering heart cut-out bodysuits, the bejewelled towels opening her shows and her beloved Old Hollywood blonde curls.
