At times in And Just Like That, Carrie’s wardrobe seemed to lose its mojo, leaving other characters to steal the limelight. Ultimate boss Lisa Todd Wexley (aka LTW) blew Carrie out of the water with her accessory game, sweeping into a scene with an exuberant swoosh of a giant beaded necklace. Her safari jacket (episode nine), courtesy of Jeremy Scott for Moschino, had the entire contents of a makeup bag strapped to it—bonkers, yes, but it made you hit the pause button.
Sure, the fashion in And Just Like That had the hallmarks of classic Carrie—her trick of throwing on a mad, quirky accessory only she could pull off. And making even the edgiest, hardest-to-wear high fashion look easy.
Back too, were the familiar style staples that made Carrie so watchable: clashing prints, pretty vintage silk dresses and intricately embroidered dress coats. Old favourites were pulled from the archive, nodding to our more sustainable times and delighting fans: the “wedding” Manolos, the “Roger” belt and the white Chanel booties.
