And What on Earth Is Carrie Bradshaw Wearing Now?

There are few things capable of resetting the nervous system quite like seeing photographs emerge from the set of *And Just Like That…* To lay eyes on a bewildered Kristin Davis in a tweed skirt and Sarita Choudhury in some kind of beige pantsuit is for a certain demographic of people–to which I belong–equal to a shot of hospital-grade morphine. The revival of Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic character has once again stirred up conversations around her sartorial choices, as if decoding the mysteries of fashion itself.

The Evolution of Style on Set

I look at images of Sarah Jessica Parker clasping a JW Anderson pigeon bag like an infant gazing at a ceiling of illuminated stars. As though it’s a rune that necessitates urgent decoding, despite knowing that Carrie Bradshaw’s outfits have become little more than a jumble of hormonal hieroglyphs.

Stylistic Highlights from Season 3

Take, for example, the latest image uploaded to Sarah Jessica Parker’s Instagram, taken on the sixth day of filming for AJLT’s third season. Carrie is dressed in a gingham Maryam Keyhani bonnet, a tiered Ossie Clark dress dating back to 1970, and the kind of orthopedic wedges that will forever semaphore post-retirement bliss.

• Gingham Maryam Keyhani Bonnet: A nod to vintage chic with a modern twist.
• Tiered Ossie Clark Dress from 1970: Blending historical fashion with contemporary flair.
• Orthopedic Wedges: Signifying comfort blended with elegance.

Zoom in a little and you will also see an overflowing tote bag—which is nothing if not an SJP staple–that lays bare Carrie’s latest reading material: a book titled *The Demon of Unrest*, which is a work of nonfiction about the Civil War but could just as feasibly be the title of Carrie’s second memoir.

Costume Design Mastery

All this is to say: costume designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago have somehow managed to make Carrie look even more insufferable—and insufferably perfect—than when she decided to disguise herself in the oh-so-clandestine combination of a babushka scarf and marigolds to smoke cigarettes in secret. This is perhaps to be expected from a franchise famed for its use of clothing as a vehicle for entertainment.

From Authenticity to Spectacle

But where costuming during *Sex And The City* once felt like a deepening of its characters’ lives—revealing the chasm between who they were and who they aspired to be—the fashions in AJLT have leaned further into comedy and spectacle. While some may view this shift as a departure from authenticity, it adds another layer of enjoyment for those of us relishing in the absurdity.

Carrie’s Fashion Legacy

I cannot wait to crawl back into the womb of this awful, genius series. Carrie Bradshaw’s fashion choices continue to be a conversation starter—a testament to her enduring influence on style and pop culture.

The Cultural Impact

Carrie’s ability to mix high fashion with everyday wear has inspired countless individuals to experiment with their own wardrobes. Her fearless approach to fashion—whether it’s a statement heel or an eccentric ensemble—reminds us that clothing is not just about fitting in, but about standing out.

Why Carrie Still Matters

• Empowerment Through Fashion: Carrie showed us how to express our individuality through style.
• The Power of Accessories: From Manolo Blahniks to oversized handbags, her accessories often spoke volumes about her character.
• Inspiring Generations: New audiences continue to discover and embrace Carrie’s iconic looks.

In conclusion, as we eagerly await the latest episodes of *And Just Like That…*, we can be sure that Carrie Bradshaw’s wardrobe will remain a delightful enigma—part fashion statement, part cultural commentary. And isn’t that what makes her so endlessly fascinating?
