Sarah Jessica Parker Channels a Polished, Modern-Day Carrie

Thanks to her impeccable collection of Galliano dresses, Fendi Baguette bags, and Manolo Blahniks, Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw has lived on as one of TV’s most fashionable fixtures—and a forever source of style inspiration. First, the star styled a long black topcoat with a sparkly silver bag and metallic heels; then, she reached for a double-breasted skirt suit with a Gucci Jackie bag and Manolo Hangisi pumps—a signature Carrie shoe.

Taking a styling trick right out of Carrie’s more-is-more playbook felt fresh, given fashion is all about stealth wealth at the moment. And, sure, we may already have a sense of modern-day Carrie’s wardrobe from And Just Like That, but Parker’s red carpet looks feel even more authentic to Carrie’s spirit. The actor has, after all, played a large part in shaping her character’s style over the decades—so it’s only natural that Carrie’s sensibility should bleed into SJP’s personal style a bit, too. Think of it like channeling a Carrie 2.0—the closet is a bit more restrained and refined, but no less fabulous.
