As the show progressed, Carpenter’s promo photos—because every host gets a full-on SNL photo shoot—continued her high-fashion takeover. She sported pieces such as a vintage Dolce & Gabbana rose coat, a vintage Emanuel Ungaro black and white polka dot frock from spring 2003, and even a shimmering blue Dior lace dress from the recent spring 2026 collection. In a promo clip with SNL co-star Marcello Hernandez, the singer also donned a vintage canine-themed Vivienne Westwood dress from fall 1992—a tie-in to her album name, Man’s Best Friend, obviously.

Across several sketches, she also wore a pink check Love Shack Fancy twin set, a turtleneck mini-dress from Theory, and a sparkling Princess Polly halter mini-dress.
The epic leading lady wardrobe concluded with her two musical performances of the night. For her live rendition of “Nobody’s Son,” Carpenter sported a crystal-covered black and white karate robe, while her backup dancers performed choreographed fights. She was not barefoot, though: For a glamorous pop star touch, she accessorized with a staggering pair of Christian Louboutin platforms. To perform “Manchild,” Carpenter then rocked a “Live From New York” baby tee, while the back of her pink briefs read, “It’s Saturday Night!”—a cheeky homage to the famous SNL tagline. Her SNL looks had all the makings of greatness: Campy, fun, yet chic!
