In the span of just a few days in late July 2022, Sofia Carson delivered a flawless run of fashion moments.

On July 25, she stepped onto the Today Show stage in a striking red Valentino dress, followed the next morning by a crisp white Fendi pantsuit for her Good Morning America appearance.

After Purple Hearts debuted on Netflix on July 29, Carson capped off the week in Capri on July 30, arriving at the LuisaViaRoma for the UNICEF gala in a romantic Giambattista Valli couture gown before changing into a sculptural Stephane Rolland creation for her performance. It was, unquestionably, one of her strongest style streaks of the year.
