Sabrina Carpenter brings out Duran Duran at second sold-out BST Hyde Park set
Carpenter dazzled a crowd of 65,000 people with her tongue-in-cheek lyrics, choreography, and glitzy costumes, as she belted through her hit songs.
The Espresso singer was welcomed on stage by fans sporting the likes of cowboy hats, platform boots and glitter – who eagerly waited for the moment to sing along with the pop star.
Opening her set with Busy Woman, Carpenter went through her biggest hits from her most recent Short n' Sweet album including Taste, Bed Chem and Please Please Please.
Midway through the concert, she asked the crowds to howl with her before introducing the 'legendary' pop rock band Duran Duran to the stage, where lead singer, Simon Le Bon, and bass guitarist John Taylor emerged to join Carpenter to sing Hungry Like The Wolf.
She later led the London crowd into a line dance as she sang her most recent hit single Manchild, before taking a moment to thank her fans.
She said: 'I don't really understand how this is possible but you guys sold out two nights, 65,000 people, at Hyde park.
'I believe two years ago I was playing a show here for about 5,000 people and before that I was opening for many different talented artists and I was just like dreaming of this day and this moment and I am just so grateful to everybody that came here, so thank you for spending your evening with us.'
She later 'arrested' The Bear star Ayo Edebiri and singer Clairo, in what has become a trademark introduction to her song Juno with screens showing alarms and the caption, 'You're under arrest for being too hot'.
Throughout the set, she also performed track favourites from her 2022 album, Emails I Can't Send, which included Feather, Because I Liked A Boy and her viral hit Nonsense.
From dancing on a makeshift balcony to serenading a sea of flashing lights, Carpenter closed her sold-out show by serving up her hit song Espresso, complimented with a firework display.
The performance comes after the singer announced she will be releasing a new album called Man's Best Friend later in the summer.
Carpenter gained prominence starring on the Disney Channel series Girl Meets World as a teenager and released her debut album Eyes Wide Open in 2015 on Hollywood Records.
She later signed to Island Records and released her gold-certified fifth studio album, Emails I Can't Send, through them.
Earlier this year, she received the global success award at the 2025 Brit Awards in recognition of her breakthrough year in 2024, in which she became the first woman to simultaneously occupy the top three spots of the UK singles chart with Taste, Please Please Please, and Espresso.

Inside Sabrina Carpenter's massive gigs at BST Hyde Park with huge special guests and private dining room backstage
TWO Duran Duran stars thrilled fans after turning up as surprise guests at Sabrina Carpenter's huge BST Hyde Park show on Sunday night. And insiders told me the Espresso singer personally asked Simon Le Bon and John Taylor to join her on stage. 12 Sabrina Carpenter serenades Hyde Park alongside Duran Duran's John Taylor on guitar Credit: Eroteme 12 Sabrina was also joined by Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon on stage Credit: Eroteme A source said: 'Sabrina is a massive Duran Duran fan and reached out to them herself to see if they'd come on board. 'It was kept a huge secret and people only found out when they came to rehearsals on Sunday morning.' Sabrina, left, pulled a massive celebrity crowd for her second night of the event, with Spice Girls star Emma Bunton, models Cara and Poppy Delevigne and singer Fred Again all spotted dancing like mad in the crowd. I'm told that all the stops were pulled out for Sabrina backstage, with a private dining room erected so she could eat in peace before going out on stage. But while her team stayed to enjoy the after party, Sabrina was whisked away in a blacked-out 4x4 to go back to the posh Corinthia Hotel. 12 Simon Le Bon appeared as a surprise guest at the show Credit: Splash 12 Sabrina personally asked Simon to join her for the London gigs Credit: Eroteme My mole added: 'Sabrina's team was massive but while most people stayed to party after the show, she headed straight to her hotel. "These were two huge gigs for her and Sabrina put so much effort into getting it right for her fans. 'The moving platform, for example, she personally requested that it go right into the crowd because she wanted to get as close as she could to her fans. 'Both her sets went down a storm. "Sabrina is one of the best bookings for BST and those shows will be remembered for a long time.'

I'm told he has turned his back on booze and fags in favour of water and early nights to keep his voice in check for his shows with brother Noel, with Liam. And given how good he sounded during the band's first night at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, Liam's virtuous new lifestyle is clearly working a treat. My tour insider explained: 'Liam arrives 45 minutes before he goes on stage and leaves immediately afterwards. 'At Cardiff he had a car driven into the stadium to take him back to his hotel immediately. Liam is being a total professional and is laser-focused on giving Oasis fans the best show he can. 'It's incredible to see how well behaved he is being. It's like he's properly grown up now.' The brothers will kick off their run of five shows at Manchester's Heaton Park on Friday night. And while Liam might be teetotal, I don't think the hundreds of thousands of fans who are due to see them perform will be doing the same. I'll certainly be having a skinful when I see the lads at Wembley later this month. I'll have one for you, Liam.

'I have never had anything like that. 'And that reignited the importance of therapy to me because I had just kind of fallen off for so long.

He added: 'They're cutting down lines. The excuses are coming out. 'You can't say that in modern times.' They're offending me, they don't seem bothered about that.' John insists he will never play with the Sex Pistols again after they fought him in court over Danny Boyle's Disney+ series about the band. And he rejected a comeback for the 50th anniversary of their debut 1977 album Never Mind The B*ks. When asked about a 2027 reunion, he said: 'No. Why would I?' LAUREN'S TITANIC HIT AS CELINE 12 Titanique is one of the most ridiculous and hilarious things you will ever see on the West End Credit: Mark Senior THE original Titanic moviemovieis a tear-jerking masterpiece, but Titanique turns that on its head.

From there, pandemonium ensues, with a camp and outrageous retelling of the classic love story, set to the music of Celine, all while leading lady and breakout star Lauren Drew does a spot-on impression of the notoriously quirky diva. Packed with memes, an improvised section and even a Drag Race-style lip sync, this one-part show isn't groundbreaking or heart-shattering. It is one of the most ridiculous and hilarious things you will ever see on the West End but will guarantee you a bon voyage and send you sailing off home with a smile on your face. ★★★★☆ By Howell Davies ZAK STARKEY is calling on fans to listen to Olympic legend Fatima Whitbread's charity song Take My Hand – and give to her charity.

Superman's new Lois Lane hopes latest superhero reboot 'does the fans proud'
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Rachel Brosnahan shared her hopes that the new Superman movie 'does the fans proud' ahead of the release. The actress shot to fame playing Miriam 'Midge' Maisel on Amazon Prime Video's comedy drama Marvelous Mrs Maisel, which aired for five seasons until 2023. In her next project, the 34-year-old is starring as the iconic Lois Lane in James Gunn's upcoming superhero reboot, opposite David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, Wendell Pierce and Alan Tudyk. Speaking to Metro ahead of the blockbuster – which is released in cinemas on July 11 – she opened up about following in the footsteps of some incredible actresses who had the role before her, and what she is excited to bring to the 2025 version of the Daily Planet's best reporter. 'Well, I feel like everybody who's taken the mantle has brought a little bit of themselves to this iconic character, and so I was excited to take a swing at it,' she told us. 'I understand her quite deeply. She's somebody who can be intense, but is really passionate, and is motivated by the word 'no'. 'She's relentless in her pursuit of the truth and what she perceives as justice. It was fun to play somebody who was so invested, so determined and unflappable. It was a blast. 'I hope that we've been able to do the fans proud with this one.' While details are thin on the ground about what we can expect from David's efforts as Clark Kent, there has already been a lot of chatter about the footage released so far – including a trailer which has been met with criticism from fans who questioned why Superman looked a little 'off'. Unpacking her time on set, Rachel shed light on the most surreal aspects of bringing the superhero to the big screen. When asked about the weirdest moments behind the scenes, she continued: 'This isn't new, I suppose everybody knows this, but probably how much stuff wasn't actually there! 'We've seen from the trailer that there's a dog in the movie, but most of the time that dog wasn't actually there, or was a tennis ball on a stick, or was sometimes played by an actor in a motion capture suit. I think that was probably the most surprising. 'There's a lot of make-believe involved in superhero movies.'

Feel Good. campaign, promote the brand's regenerative farming efforts and emphasizing how simple it is to still eat great fries, while also celebrating positive farming methods. The self-proclaimed queen of fries added of the project: 'When I heard about the work that McCain was doing in the sustainability space, and around this regenerative agriculture work, I was really excited to hear it. 'I feel like this campaign combines two of my favorite things, food sustainability and French fries. 'I hope it leads to an increased awareness around regenerative farming, and also the role that it plays in transforming the way we produce food. For people, it can be as simple as a swap in your product choice, and it can help support the journey to a more resilient food system over time. More Trending 'It feels so obvious to me. We only have one planet, and we have to take care of it. It feeds all of us, and we have to feed it … That's how we make huge movement towards a more sustainable future.' Rachel partnered with McCain for the 'Taste Good. Feel Good' campaign to highlight the brand's journey to implement regenerative agricultural practices at 100% of the farms they partner with by 2030.
