While this die hard SATC fan was is thrilled with the return of her favorite fashionistas, the character developments have left me a bit disappointed.
The fashion, however, is on point!
While I figured Carrie would be decked in the most Carrie black mourning clothes, her love life and her wardrobe bounced back rather quickly.
Aiden isn’t the only blast from the past on the show.
Carrie’s Fendi baguette is back!
Carrie’s purple sequin Fendi baguette bag(it’s not a bag, its a baguette!)
which was memorably stolen by a style-savvy mugger in season three of the show, is back.
Along with her vintage Chanel boots!
The Vivienne Westwood gown is instantly recognizable to any fan.
Carrie brings back her Manolo Blahnik wedding shoes and her wedding dress which she repurposed for the Met Gala. Complete with the bird headpiece.
While costume designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago had worked on the original Sex and the City series and movies under Patricia Field, the added their own touch to And Just Like That.
The Classic Mrs. Preston Style we saw in the SATC Movies makes appearances.
As well as some very ‘Over the Top Carrie’ pieces.
Like this Blizzard Chic look.
“It appears like it’s a one-piece coat dress, but it’s actually three pieces: a skirt, a jacket, and a hood,” Santiago says. “It’s all quilted, and it does weigh a lot. There are yards and yards and yards of fabric in it.”
And this Valentine’s Day look for her First Date(can we call it that?)with Aiden.
The Pigeon Purse takes me back to the infamous Duck Purse that Big gave Carrie in Season 2.
While Carrie and her crew have aged gracefully(bring back Samantha please), so has her closet.
Her wardrobe shows that her fashion has evolved, as well as keeping some connections to her glorious apartment closet from SATC.
I feel like the costume designers have created a happy medium.
Many Manolos later, Carrie is still so very…Carrie.
