NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Sabrina Carpenter has sparked intrigue with her outfit from the premiere of 'A Nonsense Christmas', which many believe is meant to send a cryptic message to Barry Keoghan.

The 'Short n’ Sweet' singer shared photos of herself in a striking black-and-white feathery outfit amid rising rumors of a split, possibly resulting from the Irish actor cheating on her with an influencer.

Sabrina Carpenter's feathery outfit might hint at her emotional state

Sabrina Carpenter's recent Instagram carousel post, featuring eight images, quickly went viral, garnering over a million likes within a day.

In the photos, she stunned in a black-and-white faux fur cashmere jacket and matching mini dress from the 1994 Chanel Karl Lagerfeld collection for the premiere of her Netflix special, 'A Nonsense Christmas'.

She paired the outfit with fuzzy black-and-white mink mules from Kandee, and added a pop of color with a red lip. 

The dress seemed to echo the themes of her 2023 song 'Feather', in which she sings, "I feel so much lighter like a feather without you in my life." These lyrics suggest Carpenter is embracing a new chapter and the freedom that comes after a breakup.

The outfit choice seems to reflect her emotional state and might signal that she feels lighter and freer without the relationship, as per The US Sun.

Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan have decided to take a break as they are 'career-focused'

Sabrina Carpenter attended the premiere of 'A Nonsense Christmas' in New York just two days after news broke that she and Barry Keoghan had called it quits after a year of dating. They first sparked romance rumors in December 2023 after being photographed on a night out in Los Angeles. 

A source told People, "They are both young and career-focused, so they've decided to take a break."

There have been reports of tension in their relationship in the past, with one source claiming in August, "Barry acts like an idiot when he is drunk and Sabrina was getting increasingly frustrated. He has always been a party animal and Sabrina was fed up with his antics."

Carpenter partnered with Keoghan for the music video of 'Please Please Please', in which she sings about a boyfriend damaging her reputation.

The lyrics include, "Please, please, please don't bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice. Heartbreak is one thing, my ego's another. I beg you, don't embarrass me, motherf****r. Please, please, please."
