As she performs hits like “Good Graces” and “Bed Chem,” the singer layers a babydoll dress over her strapless corset. These dresses, first introduced during her Saturday Night Live appearance, were inspired by Brigitte Bardot. The singer shared her love for the babydoll dresses, stating, “I have no insecurities, no thoughts about anything. ‘Cause I’m just so comfortable in those little dresses.”

As the evening progresses, the artist transforms into a sleek black catsuit, perfectly tailored for her dance routines. The “Taste” singer shares that the outfit, inspired by Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, allows her to move effortlessly. “I was always inspired by Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face because of how much she was moving in that movie, and you can really see her movements because of the black,” she explained.

The final costumes for “Juno” and “Dumb & Poetic” were inspired by the London ABBA Voyage show. Carpenter revealed, “There was this one fabric that one of the girls was wearing. It was so gorgeous and it was like liquidy, and it just moved…I was like, ‘I need that… outfit.'”
