As anticipation builds for the release of And Just Like That… Season 3, it's the perfect moment to revisit and dissect the most daring and memorable fashion choices from the first two seasons. The Sex and the City reboot has continued to serve as a platform for bold self-expression, with each character using clothing to narrate their evolving lives and personalities. Here’s a breakdown of some of the standout looks:
Carrie Bradshaw: A Master of Eclectic Chic
Carrie, portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker, remains the undisputed queen of eccentric fashion. In Season 1, her looks ranged from a cerulean blue suit dress, paired with a matching bucket bag, to a tulle ballgown skirt, worn with a striped sweater for a bodega run—a clear homage to her iconic opening-credits tutu. She revived vintage pieces, such as the studded "Roger" belt from the first SATC movie, cinching it over a pink Carolina Herrera shirt dress. In Season 2, Carrie took things even further. The JW Anderson pigeon clutch became a viral sensation, embodying Carrie's penchant for the whimsical and impractical. She also revisited her Vivienne Westwood wedding gown, updating it with teal opera gloves and a cape for the "Met Ball." Other notable mentions include the fuchsia wrap dress with a red belt and a Jemma Wynne necklace. For Season 3, the character has already been seen in a Simone Rocha, rose-stuffed dress from the brand's spring 2024 collection and a vintage Ossie Clark dress paired with Maryam Keyhani hat.
Charlotte York Goldenblatt: Classic with a Twist
Charlotte, played by Kristin Davis, embodies Upper East Side elegance with a penchant for classic silhouettes and ladylike details. While she typically leans towards sedate pastels and preppy dresses, Season 2 saw her experimenting with bolder choices. A standout look was her head-to-toe Burberry tartan ensemble. The character also carries a Valextra top-handle bag with a sheer black dotted outfit with a white contrast collar and pink bow.
Miranda Hobbes: From Corporate to Casual
Miranda’s style transformation has been one of the most significant in the reboot. In Season 1 and 2, she moved away from her corporate attire, embracing a more relaxed and practical style as she navigated new life challenges. A green bucket hat and a laid-back ensemble worn while cleaning a beach symbolized her reinvention.
Lisa Todd Wexley: A Vision in Bold Hues
Lisa Todd Wexley (LTW), played by Nicole Ari Parker, is the new style icon, unafraid to make a statement with vibrant colors and eye-catching accessories. LTW's Met Gala outfit was an irrefutably hazardous spherical Valentino headpiece that covers her face.
Seema Patel: Effortless Sophistication
Seema, portrayed by Sarita Choudhury, exudes effortless sophistication with a touch of boldness. Animal prints are her signature, as seen in her Sergio Hudson outfit paired with oversized sunglasses and a camel clutch.
The costume designers, Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago, have expertly blended high fashion with vintage finds and unique accessories, ensuring that the characters' wardrobes reflect their individual journeys. The fashion in And Just Like That… is more than just clothing; it's a narrative tool that enhances the storytelling and invites viewers to reflect on their own personal style evolutions. As Season 3 approaches, it's exciting to imagine what new sartorial statements these characters will make.
