Sabrina Carpenter surprises fans with shocking hair transformation

Blondes may have more fun, but Sabrina Carpenter is taking a walk on the dark side.

The Grammy-winning pop star, 26, surprised fans when she modeled a brunette look for a new photoshoot with Perfect Magazine released Tuesday, April 7.

In one of the photos, Carpenter, known for her platinum blonde locks, sported a long dark wig. The style 180 was given a semi-gothic touch thanks to a set of sleek black nails.

"I love to play dress up. This shoot was really fun for that reason," Carpenter told Perfect Magazine in an interview, conducted by fashion icon Marc Jacobs.

For the eclectic photoshoot, the "House Tour" singer donned an assortment of eye-catching looks, including a white wedding gown by Prada, a black micro miniskirt with an enlarged belt, and a naval-inspired ensemble combining a denim jacket and boat captain's hat.

"We got to really try some looks that I've never tried before," Carpenter continued. "Lots of wigs, lots of different make-up for me, lots of shapes that maybe I wouldn't normally wear. I can just play a little bit more with editorial."

The singer also opened up to Jacobs about how her relationship with fashion has evolved over the years.

"I'm the shortest person ever. So, my initial relationship with fashion was sort of in distress," Carpenter reflected. "The day I realized what tailoring is changed my life. In terms of what made me feel the most confident, it was an altered outfit, making it feel like it works really well on my body.

"I see it truly as art, as something that can make you feel so self-conscious or it can make you feel so incredibly confident that you're not even aware of what is on your body."
