And just like that… Carrie Bradshaw once again donned an iconic dress in her series. The character of the columnist based in the Big Apple who wrote about relationships with which actress Sarah Jessica Parker rose to stardom in 1998, with the premiere of Sex and the City, The series was characterized from the beginning by impossible styles (a tulle skirt with a sleeveless shirt?). Carrie Bradshaw became a fashion guru and throughout the six seasons of the series, and the two films that it gave rise to, she left unforgettable style moments. She has made allusions to several of them. And just like that, the series that in 2021 resumed the adventures of Carrie and her group of friends in the big city (the now writer and podcaster recycled at the beginning of the second season of And just like that Carrie Bradshaw wore a two-tone dress with a geometric print and silver sequins to the event in her apartment, which she calls “the last supper.”
At that gathering around the table for his group of friends —with the star appearance of his cat, Shoe— in the apartment where it all began more than 25 years ago, Carrie shines in a strapless dress with a wide skirt accompanied by striking embroidered tulle sleeves joined by a strap that runs across her back. The dress is part of the Fall-Winter 2023 Collection from the New York firm of which Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia have been co-creative directors since 2016. But how did he end up chairing Carrie’s table for 16 guests? “The dinner is a big farewell. So I wanted the styling to be able to stand the test of time. We had been invited to the showroom by Oscar de la Renta, where they were photographing the lookbook from the fall 2023 collection. And we started begging to be given the pieces for 24 hours so we could try them on,” she explained. Molly Rogers —responsible for the costumes of the HBO Max series alongside Danny Santiago— to the American edition of InStyle. The dress is for sale on different platforms on-line, like those of the luxury department stores in New York Saks Fifth Avenuewhere it can still be purchased in some sizes for 12,782.65 euros (it is sold out in other sales channels due to the Carrie effect).
It is not the only style of the firm – a recurring theme in this fictional saga since the times of Sex and the City— which has been seen in this last season of the series, as the brand has recalled on its Twitter account, in which it has reviewed the outfits of the house that the protagonists of And just like that have worn in recent episodes. But Carrie Bradshaw’s ‘Last Supper’ outfit is not just a seasonal model, but has one of the characteristic nods to the second-hand pieces of the protagonist of AJLT: The dress would not be the same without the sleeves that complement it, which as the stylists have pointed out on their Instagram account (@andjustlikethatcostumes) are one piece vintage also signed by Oscar de la Renta. «The bolero is a blouse vintage that we cut. It’s very difficult to find elegant boleros… I think I’ll open a bolero shop,” Molly Rogers detailed in InStyle. Some leggings by Wilfred and shoes studded with sparkling stones from the Venetian brand René Caovilla finish off the look of the hostess. Her guests also choose designer models: Charlotte wears the New York firm Markarian, Lisa opts for Christopher John Rogers (an African-American designer from Louisiana who is a recurring figure among the jet New Yorker and figures such as Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama and Rihanna), Seema wears a silver Givenchy and Miranda an asymmetrical red dress by the London brand Roksanda.
But although dinner gives title to the last chapter of the second season of And just like that and marks the development of the plot, has almost been overshadowed by another moment, much awaited by the followers of the series: the reappearance of Samantha Jones, the character played by Kim Cattrall in Sex and the City, the fourth friend of the original group, who had not returned with the rest of the gang in this new stage. Wearing a red dress, silver jacket and clutching her Fendi bag (a Fendi First model in green), Samantha speaks on the phone with Carrie from London, a brief conversation that Rebecca Nicholsonof The Guardian, has been described as “71 seconds of regal poise.” This calms the cold War There is a lot of talk about the relationship between Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall, the two actresses who play these characters, between whom there have been rumors of a very tense relationship since the beginning of the second season of Sex and the City. As we told in this article from 2021, it all goes back to that moment, in 1999, “when the creator and main producer of the series, Darren Star, was replaced by Michael Patrick King. Apparently, Kim was close to Star, his greatest support behind the scenes, so he never looked favorably on one of Sarah’s best friends taking his place. Likewise, there are also sources that suggest that her co-stars never forgave her for leaking to the press an alleged abortion of Cynthia Nixon, the actress who plays Miranda Hobbes.”
Now, when the third season of And just like that It has just been confirmed, and it only remains to be seen whether the differences and old grudges between the cast have been overcome and Samantha will return, for more than just a moment, in the new phase of the series.
