She is an angel.

Sabrina Carpenter presents the new Time 100Next edition in a vintage Victoria's Secret look that fits her signature retro-glam aesthetic.

The 25-year-old pint-sized pop star poses on the cover of the magazine in the style of “Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend” in a red corset, briefs and train with a bow tie, taken from the underwear brand's 1997 runway collection.

The look, which was created before Carpenter was born, was first modeled by Naomi Campbell and features a sparkly black heart on the bodice, just like many of the “Taste” singer's stage outfits.

“Femininity is something I have always embraced. And if that means corsets and garter belts and fluffy gowns or whatever the fuck right now, then that's what that means,” Carpenter tells Time of her flirtatious style.

“But there is still a mother who has a strong opinion about how you should dress. And all I say to that is don't come to the show, that's fine,” she adds, adding backlash to her adult lyrics and suggestive clothing.

“It's unfortunate that there was ever any reason for criticism because, honestly, going on stage in front of so many people and acting like it's nothing is the most terrifying thing in the world.” If the only thing “If it’s the way you feel comfortable dressing, then that’s what you need to do.”
