Netizens have reacted to legendary pop icon Madonna praising Sabrina Carpenter after the March 2025 issue of Vogue Magazine was unveiled with the Espresso hitmaker as the cover star.
Lensed by Madonna's longtime collaborator, Steven Meisel, the photo features the 25-year-old in an ice-blue satin mini dress by Dolce & Gabbana. The attire, which matches her blonde curls, drew immediate comparisons to Madonna's Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra from the Blonde Ambition Tour in 1990.
On February 11, Vogue shared the photo of their latest magazine cover on Instagram, immediately drawing comparisons with Madonna's iconic look in the comment section. The Queen of Pop also joined in, commenting:

“Is this a Valentine’s present to me?”
Netizens on X were quick to comment on Madonna's reaction to Sabrina Carpenter's ensemble. Among them, X user @IngridDiazactor opined that the Short n' Sweet songstress looked more like Marilyn Monroe.
"She looks like Marilyn Monroe," commented the user on X.
"Madonna still trying to get in where she can fit in. Sabrina's cover looks more like an ode to Marilyn Monroe than Madonna and it's an amazing cover," agreed another.
"I’m personally not a huge fan. She obviously looks good but doesn’t look like herself and I think dramatic looks overwhelm her essences," wrote a user on X.
"Madonna subtly being like gimme my creds is a mess like girl you bit from Marilyn Monroe," another opined.
Many users raved about Madonna acknowledging Sabrina Carpenter's ensemble.
"The Queen recognizes an homage, when she sees one. Kudos to Sabrina for admitting it," a netizen wrote.
"That style is the most beautiful I know! Beautiness cannot get better. Its the ultimate look. Creme de la creme. So all the iconic women during time use that beauty sometimes in their lives. And we the people can enjoy and love it! More beauty to the people!" opined a user on X.
"Madonna's got jokes! But honestly, that cover is a total gift for everyone. Great to see Sabrina shining!" wrote a user on X.
Some other reactions on X are as follows:
"The Material Girl’s always being copy-catted. And then the copiers usually deny they were," a user commented.
"I’m personally not a huge fan. She obviously looks good but doesn’t look like herself and I think dramatic looks overwhelm her essences," added another.
"What If Sabrina came on the New Madonna álbum with a New expresso," quipped another user on X.
This is not the first time Sabrina Carpenter has seemingly paid homage to Madonna. At the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, the Please Please Please songstress was seen in a white sequin gown by Bob Mackie. It was famously worn by the Queen of Pop at the 1991 Academy Awards.
