While Sabrina Carpenter has turned heads with her stunning style transformation, the Pennsylvania native is garnering even more attention for having a damning resemblance to a political figure. Fans have posted side-by-side snapshots of a young Hillary Clinton and the "Espresso" singer to social media, pointing out how much the figures resemble one another with their blonde hairstyles and strong cheekbones. For example, one user pulled a photo of Clinton from a 1969 Life publication, showing the future first lady as a college student, and a 2020 picture of Carpenter at a pre-Grammy luncheon.

The direct comparison demonstrates just how much the two lookalike, with half-updos highlighting their high cheekbones and pointed chins. Netizens across the internet similarly observed the resemblance, suggesting that the singer play Clinton in a biopic and making jokes about the similarities. "Espress-go to the polls!" one user wrote, combining one of the singer's song titles with a reference Clinton made to Pokémon GO during her 2016 campaign run.

One user even made a TikTok edit with collaged photos of the two, showing how Carpenter's penchant for retro trends really highlights their parallel looks. Comments on the "Please, Please, Please" set video show that the pop singer isn't the only Hollywood figure to be compared to Clinton, with both Florence Pugh and Sydney Sweeney having been highlighted by internet users as rivaling lookalikes. Either way, the similarities between Carpenter and Clinton may run deeper than initially meets the eye.

Beyond Sabrina Carpenter and Hillary Clinton's physical similarities, it's become clear that the two share some political overlap, too. Regardless of a fair share of associated scandals, the former first lady is a well-established figure of the U.S. Democratic Party, while the "Manchild" singer has made efforts to demonstrate her progressive principles. The it-girl has positioned herself as an LGBTQ+ ally and spoken out against the Trump administration's use of her music.

Carpenter partnered with PLUS1 to launch The Sabrina Carpenter Fund in 2024, targeting mental health advocacy, LGBTQ+ rights, and animal welfare as core causes. The nonprofit surpassed $1 million in donations in only a year's time. The singer has since specifically advocated for the transgender community, naming the Transgender Law Center as an additional partner of the nonprofit in October 2025. She also made her allegiance clear at the VMAs, performing her song "Tears" alongside a host of drag queens and queer dancers while featuring political slogans such as "Protect trans rights" and "Dolls, dolls, dolls."

Carpenter also made headlines in December 2025 when she made a scathing response to White House's social page. The account, which has established an unconventional and mocking online presence, shared a compilation of ICE deportation photos set to the singer's track "Juno," tapping into the virility of the line "Have you ever tried this one?" The singer made her feelings on the matter very clear, replying on X, "this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda." So, while Clinton has had some chic style moments, her similarities with Sabrina Carpenter seemingly run beyond the external.
