Pop fans recreate Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter album art in ‘Roblox Dress To Impress’
Pop fans have taken to Roblox’s Dress To Impress minigame to recreate iconic albums from the likes of Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter.
Dress To Impress is a speed-based Roblox fashion game that tasks players with creating themed looks before they showcase them on the runway. However, a number of pop fans are moving away from the competitive nature of being a Roblox fashion designer and copying iconic album covers instead.
Sharing their designs on social media, one fan has recreated every one of Taylor Swift’s 11 albums, from 2006’s self-titled to 2024’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department‘, as well as a handful of alternative bonus artwork.

They’ve also taken on the back catalogues of Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo, with Carpenter’s recently released ‘Short N’ Sweet’ and Rodrigo’s ‘GUTS’ both getting a Dress To Impress reworking.

Ariana Grande’s discography has also been Dress To Impress-ed, while other fans have made the cover of Britney Spears’ 2003 album ‘In The Zone’ and taken inspiration from Halsey’s recently released ‘The Great Impersonator’.
Taking things one step further, Swifites have been busy copying some of Taylor Swift’s most memorable red carpet choices as well as her ‘Eras Tour’ outfits.

Earlier this year, Sabrina Carpenter fans celebrated the singer’s ‘Short N’ Sweet’ arena tour by recreating it in Dress To Impress while an official ‘Brat’-inspired collab with Charli XCX helped Roblox have its busiest ever day.
It’s not all good, wholesome fun though. Roblox was forced to remove the hotdog outfit from its recent Halloween update due to some players making it into a NSFW look instead. “We want to create a safe and friendly environment for our players and it was not intended to be used this way,” explained one Dress To Impress developer, with the game’s community manager adding: “Sadly there always has to be people who spoil it for everyone else.”
In other news, the Kamala Harris election campaign continued on Twitch this weekend, with vice president candidate Tim Walz streaming Crazy Taxi.
