Revisit Carrie Bradshaw’s MOST iconic fits as Sex and the City siren Sarah Jessica Parker turns 60!
Some icons are made, others are just born that way. Sarah Jessica Parker fits the bill for the latter, while easily her most iconic on-screen commitment, the annoyingly chaotic but addictively dramatic Carrie Bradshaw is a bona fide shoo-in for the former. So as mother Sarah enters the big 6-0 decade, here’s revisiting her Sex and the City fits which are very, very important chapters of 2000s fashion hory. Sarah Jessica Parker turns 60: Revisiting some of her most-iconic Carrie Bradshaw wardrobe moments The Times Square TutuA tank and tutu may not be turning heads today, but back in 1998 — sauntering through the middle of Times Square? HELL YES it was. But that comes as no surprise, we are after all, speaking about the woman who stomped around New York City enough to turn Manolo Blahnik into a household name! Fun fact, that rizz-dripping tutu was bought for a mere $5. *Splash*True soft Y2K territory, this is the romantic, frilly, asymmetrical snatched midi was worn Carrie in season 3, episode 18 as she met Mr. Big after a bit, at Central Park. Within 5 seconds of the dress making it’s screen-debut, Carrie and Big trip and fall into the water, in what is one of the most memorable scenes from the entirety of SATC lore. Before the plunge, Carrie emerged on screen with her trademark curls, a ba pink Louis Vuitton shoulder bag and rhinestone-pressed vintage clear heels. ‘It was a bird'”I thought it was feathers”. “It was a bird”. There was a LOT going on when Carrie finally put on the Vivienne Westwood bridal gown with a cascading veil, that teal bird in her hair and a perfectly pastel bouquet. But for a dress to be remembered in good light even after the bride was literally jilted in front of all of New York City, speaks of a different kind of vortex of charm. And so it made complete sense that even after the first attempt at getting Carrie-and Big wedded ending in disaster and heartbreak (predictable TBH), the storyline of Sex and the City the movie (2008) still showed Vivienne reach out to Carrie with the dress, stating how she could never imagine anyone else in it — cue the waterworks. ‘The best mirage I’ve ever had’Speaking of jilted lovers, all SATC loyals can a 100 percent agree that what Big was to Carrie, she was to Aidan. Fast-forward to the second installment of the Sex and the City movies (2010), only and only Carrie can make a jersey-esque J’adore Dior t-shirt work with a full-blown two-toned ballgown IN LAVENDER, mind you, that too in the middle of a spicy Abu Dhabi souk. This is exactly what we meant when we said Carrie could wear a paper bag and still look good. Controversial pick: The newspaper dressThe newspaper dress brings up a lot of raw emotions for the fashion girlies and rightfully so. Now it may not be the prettiest dress on the rack, and as a matter of fact, flies right in the face of Carrie’s carefully curated haywire aesthetic. But if you truly know Carrie, you know that the girl will do just about anything once. And this John Galliano for Chrian Dior dress fits the bill. What can we say, it’s camp but still a classic! Which Carrie Bradshaw moment and fit lives rent-free in your head?
