As New Yorkers, socialites, and fashion insiders, Carrie Bradshaw and Emily Ratajkowski evidently have a lot in common. Although the former might be fictional, her style influence is undeniable, while the latter is no stranger to kick-starting new trends IRL like no-one else I know of.
Both renowned for their unique taste in fashion, it looks like Ratajkowski might have been influenced by the enduing queen of New York style, stepping out this week in a dress that bears a striking resemblance to one of Carrie Bradshaw’s most iconic looks ever.

Wearing a skin-hugging grey minidress with black trainers (something Bradshaw would never) and a matching shoulder bag, Ratajkowski’s look channelled ’90s minimalism in the chicest way. Skimming the body in the same manner as Bradshaw’s acclaimed Season Two, Episode 15 grey minidress, the piece crafts a relaxed yet sexy silhouette that will, inevitably, never lose its appeal.
Further modernising the dress, Ratajkowski styled hers with black oversized sunglasses, a single gold necklace and small silver hoops for a low-key finish.

Indulging even more in her Bradshaw moment, Ratajkowski was spotted out later that night wearing the same grey minidress with a pair of strappy heels.

Not the first fashion person to re-create this iconic look. Kendall Jenner wore a grey minidress from Australian brand St. Agni whist running between appointments in Paris last year. Whilst Jenner emulated Bradshaw’s iconic look by opting for a strappy heeled sandal, Ratajkowski’s laidback trainers outfit prove the dress has even more milage in it than I initially imagined.
