Talent is the non-negotiable golden ticket to the glitterati. But even the fiercest Tinseltown threats need a sprinkle of destiny, a lucky horseshoe, or at least, a well-timed cosmic wink. While many A-listers waltz into fame, only a select few get to star in their own fairytale. That said, Hollywood is never short on surprise heroes. Recently, a viral blunder of galactic proportions mistook Alice Chater with Sabrina Carpenter. And suddenly, Chater found herself riding shotgun on the fame train, but without a seatbelt. However, netizens did not sugarcoat, serving a three-course meal of trolls, takedowns, and X tirades.
Alice Chater recently sent fans into a spiral when Internet users confused her with Sabrina Carpenter over a resurfaced picture of the former in a Carpenter-coded corset.
The 2023 picture shows Chater from down below her nose, standing facing a mirror in a white lace corset set against a supremely aesthetic background. Though Chater is a celebrated songstress, in just one night, she fast-tracked through the fame factory, cruising herself from the labels of who-she-is to who-is-she in turbo mode.
