Sabrina Carpenter Shuts Down Claims of Racy Lolita-Inspired Photo Shoot

Published: June 17, 2025

Sabrina Carpenter has responded to fans who accused her of recreating a scene from the 1997 movie Lolita in her 2024 photo shoot.

The Accusation

A TikTok user, @arcafan999, shared a screenshot of a post by @thepopfaction, which included an image of Sabrina Carpenter's photo shoot. Carpenter posed for the camera in a yellow dress, sitting barefoot in the grass, with sprinklers in the background. The photo bears a resemblance to a scene in Lolita, where the character Dolores "Lolita" Haze is soaked by water sprinklers while reading in the grass, oblivious to the fact that her dress has gone sheer.

The movie Lolita has received backlash due to its main character, Humbert Humbert, developing a sexual obsession with Haze, who is 12 years old at the start of the novel by Vladimir Nabokov.
