Carrie Bradshaw just wore these affordable metallic heels in And Just Like That
Whether you've been a die hard fan of Sex and the City since the 90s, or have been newly introduced to Carrie Bradshaw's universe through And Just Like That, you'll know one thing for certain – no one has better taste in shoes. Although Carrie was known for her penchant for expensive designer shoes from brands like Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik, this season has seen Carrie occasionally swapping her Manolos for a much more affordable pair of heels.
In episode five of AJLT, Carrie was seen striding across her apartment in a montage of shoes, which included a show-stopping pair of orange and pink metallic platforms. And we've got good news for fans of Carrie's shoe-drobe, because the Zia Mid Orange Pink Platform Block Heels are still available to buy from Terry de Havilland.
Whilst a pair of Carrie's Manolos can cost anything from £500 to £1000, the Zia Platforms are far more affordably priced at £335. Sure they're still a little bit of a splurge, but they're designed to be a pair that you can wear time and time again, so you'll end up with a much better cost per wear than those flimsy heels that break after a couple of nights dancing.
Plus, who doesn't want to own their very little piece of Carrie Bradshaw-approved fashion history? The Zia Platform Heels have already sold out once since they appeared in the trailer for And Just Like That, and although they're back in stock now, we're pretty sure they'll be sold out before long after having such an iconic moment in the spotlight on the show.
Each pair is made from 14 separately cut pieces of leather which are fitted together to create Terry de Havilland's signature print, including a 70s-inspired lightning bolt down the heel and a stripe pattern on the toe straps. The pink and orange also play into the 70s glam vibe whilst still keeping it modern, and you could just as easily pair these with some flared denim and a band T-shirt as you could with a floral midi dress at a wedding.
If you need a slightly lower heel or a wider fit, this pair of Lupin Multi Strap Platform Heels Wide E Fit keep the same 70s-inspired look and pink and orange colourway, with a lower, broad block heel which makes them a little more stable – and they're now £25, down from £50. If you prefer to stick to one colour, Joanie Clothing's £99 Montpellier Metallic Leather Platform Sandals are ideal thanks to their metallic pink finish and retro platform design.
However, the Zia Platform Heels have been carefully designed to make them as comfortable and easy to walk in as possible. They also feature a secure ankle strap which keeps your ankles stable and your shoes secure, so you can do a Carrie-worthy strut without taking a tumble.

Sarah Jessica Parker blasted over her 'world salad' answer to why SATC reboot And Just Like That... has been canned
Sarah Jessica Parker has been slammed by fans over her rambling response to why And Just Like That... will end after three seasons. The actress, 60, whose final turn as protagonist Carrie Bradshaw will be seen in the Sex and the City reboot's finale on Thursday, opened up about the end of the series at a recent event - with her speech branded 'nonsense' and 'incoherent.' The show - which saw Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis reprise their SATC roles as Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes and Charlotte York - has been branded ' woke ', 'awful' and 'cringeworthy' since its debut in 2021. When asked if this will indeed be the final time fans see Carrie Bradshaw's story on screen, Parker said in a video captured by InStyle: 'I have learned not to say goodbye but farewell, there's a distinction right? 'You know you ride that decision and its hard to be definitive and to say it and it really makes no sense to a lot of people which I understand, why would you stop doing something that's successful and that is successful in that moment? 'And i think it's because of the profound affection for the job and for the show which is where Michael [Patrick King] and I were all those years ago when we stopped shooting the Sex and the City television series. View this post on Instagram A post shared by instylemagazine (@instylemagazine) 'It's the respect and the affection that we've given for the experience in totality that leads you to a decision like this that it's such an extraordinary job and you have to kind of honor it... but if you love something you know where to leave it sometimes 'I wouldn't have said back then that we would do a couple of movies and that four years ago or five years that Michael and I would get on the phone and say hmmm and he would feel the same... so who knows?' Fans were left baffled by the response, with one writing: 'This interview is just like the AJLT reboot: painful and unnecessary! (cue SATC movie). No idea what she said in that word salad garbage.' Others wrote: 'AJLT was SO disrespectful to the fans with the sloppy writing, gaslighting the original series, bizarre plot lines, and caricature characters. And the salt on the wound was the bad fashion/costuming. Calling it 'successful' is delusional. Just like The Woman… 'From all that - I did not get a reason AJLT ended. Especially confused when SATC was added for 'totality.' 'That was a nonsense, incoherent response. Kind of like the writing for all of AJLT. I've had to rewatch SATC just to remind myself how much I loved the original series and wipe away the trite drivel that is AJLT. 'The wardrobe was fantastic. Carrie was wow… political correctness and trying to tick all and every box in one prog became ridiculous. In trying to cater to everyone it resonated with noone… WTH happened with Miranda ffs. Fans were left baffled by the 'word salad' response 'Well that was some word salad that didn't illuminate much of anything. 'AJLT was anything but successful 'Girl, what? Said a whole of nothing. It's over been over it's ok to end things & admit the show ran its course.' Other fans praised the star for her emotional response writing: 'I love her. She's always so thoughtful in her answers. And I believe she really loves Carrie and the show, and the actors, and tries to make the best decisions. I'm still gutted it's finishing. 'I'm going to miss it! And I'm going to miss Sarah Jessica's magnificent acting!' Fans had bashed the show and its writers, with some even alleging And Just Like That... had 'ruined' the once-beloved characters from the original Sex and the City and critics calling it 'the worst show on television'. AJLT saw Miranda cheat on husband Steve with non-binary comic Che Diaz, Carrie bizarrely claim 'love of her life' Mr Big was a 'mistake' and agreeing to take a five year break from her on-again romance with Aidan Shaw. The show's viewership had tumbled in its ongoing third season. King said in a statement: 'And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the Sex and the City universe is coming to an end. 'While I was writing the last episode of And Just Like That… season 3, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop. Along with Sarah Jessica Parker, Casey Bloys and Sarah Aubrey, we decided to end the popular series this year with a two-part finale and extended the original series order from 10 episodes to 12. 'SJP and I held off announcing the news until now because we didn't want the word final to overshadow the fun of watching the season. 'It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years.' Samantha Jones actress Kim Cattrall notably did not return for the series full-time after a decade of bad blood with her castmates. The original show ran from 1998-2004 with two films in 2008 and 2010. AJLT was first announced in January 2021 - 11 years after the panned movie, Sex and the City 2. It introduced a host of new side characters including Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker), Seema Patel (Sarita Choudhury) and Dr Nya Wallace (Karen Pittman). The series kicked off in explosive style with Big (Chris Noth) dying of a heart attack in the first episode. Noth was later edited out of the series after being accused of sexual abuse by four women - he denied all the allegations and has never been charged with any crime. Miranda began cheating on Steve (David Eigenberg) - who was her true love over six seasons and two films - with Che (Sara Ramirez) before starting to exclusively date women, despite her character confirming in SATC she was 'definitely not gay.' Last year Ramirez was dropped from And Just Like That because their character Che Diaz was a 'waste of airtime,' according to insiders, who shut down the actor's claim that being pro-Palestine cost them the role. Ramirez a non-binary actor who uses they/them pronouns, implied they will not return for the third season of the Sex and the City spin-off in a series of posts. They heavily suggested their time on the show was over as they claimed 'casting directors and agents are making black lists of actors and workers who post anything in support of Palestinians and Gaza to ensure they will not work again.' But a source close to the show ridiculed the suggestion, claiming Ramirez's head had been 'on the chopping block since last season' because their character 'held no value anymore' and was 'annoying.' Cattrall had previously refused to ever reprise her fan-favorite role as the man-hungry publicist - having last played the character in much derided 2010 film, Sex and the City 2. It was claimed Cattrall had previously 'torpedoed' plans for a third Sex and the City film - but she later denied this. Cattrall shocked fans when it emerged she had filmed a secret cameo for the show's second season, which she did without interacting with any cast member.

Kristin Davis opens up about having ‘disordered eating'
Kristin Davis disclosed on her podcast, Are You a Charlotte?, that continuous discussion about her body during her time on Sex and the City caused her to develop disordered eating. She recounted that co-star Sarah Jessica Parker once suggested she had body dysmorphia, a notion Davis initially dismissed, believing it was due to public perception of her 'pear-shaped' figure. Davis confessed to engaging in extreme dieting, including an instance where she fainted in a car park, as a result of the intense scrutiny and pressure regarding her appearance. She also shared that fans would often comment on her not being 'fat' when meeting her, which she understood as a compliment but felt was in comparison to Sarah Jessica Parker. The Sex and the City spin-off, And Just Like That..., is set to conclude after its third season.

Kristin Davis reveals Sarah Jessica Parker confronted her about eating disorder and 'starving' herself on set
Kristin Davis is opening up about the intense body image pressures she faced while filming HBO's Sex and the City. On the latest episode of her Are You a Charlotte? podcast, the actress, 60, reflected on navigating criticism about her appearance during the show's 1998–2004 run. She admitted to having what she called a 'thinness issue' at the height of the series' success. 'There were times when Sarah Jessica would be like, "You have body dysmorphia." And I'd be like, I don't think I do because the world is literally telling me daily that I am pear shaped,' Davis said. 'Like so much to the point where, like, you can't think straight.' The Emmy nominee said the criticism led to unhealthy habits. 'But then you also have disordered eating. You're starving yourself,' she shared, recalling that she once fainted in a parking lot due to 'some crazy diet' she was on. Davis went on to explain that her self-esteem, at the time, was also derailed by back-handed compliments from fans out in public. 'There was a good number of years when… people would see me on the street and they would say, "Oh, but you're not fat." And I know they didn't mean anything bad. They mean it as a compliment, right? But it's because I'm standing next to Sarah Jessica. Or, "You're prettier in person." And I'm just like, well, okay.' While Davis is actually a few inches taller than her co-star — 5'6' compared to Parker's 5'3' — she alluded that the comparisons had nothing to do with height and everything to do with how their bodies were perceived on screen. 'There's like a weird cynicism about our industry and about us that then permeates the thinking,' she concluded. In 2023, Davis confessed that it is difficult being 'confronted with' her 'younger self at all times.' 'It's a challenge to remember that you don't have to look like that. The internet wants you to — but they also don't want you to. They're very conflicted,' she told The Telegraph. She also reflected on how she has done fillers that have looked 'good' and some that haven't over the years. 'I've had to get them dissolved and I've been ridiculed relentlessly. And I have shed tears about it. It's very stressful,' Davis stated. The actress also noted that 'people personally blame' performers 'when it goes wrong' versus 'the doctor who did the work.' 'No one told me it didn't look good for the longest time,' she added. 'But, luckily I do have good friends, who did say eventually. The thing is you don't smile at yourself in the mirror. Who smiles at themselves in the mirror? Crazy people.' Since wrapping Sex and the City and, more recently, its spinoff And Just Like That, after three seasons, Davis has remained close friends with Parker. In February, Davis revealed Parker 'was going to put me on a dating app.' 'Dating's tough as a single mom. My friends feel that I should be dating, because life is short,' she explained. 'I'm like, "Sarah Jessica, I will kill you.' I was like, 'Do not!"' Despite Park's attempt to make a profile for her, the star shut down the idea. 'I just don't meet that many people, I guess. And I'm super focused on the kids and it's hard to date with the kids. I've tried. I mean, it's tough,' she said. 'It's not like I'm not open to it. I just don't, I'm not actively pursuing it. Let's put it that way. But you kind of, at some point, I guess you have to do [it].' Davis adopted her daughter, Gemma Rose, in 2011, and son Wilson, in 2018. While actively putting herself out there, the Deadly Illusions alum admitted 'it never went well.' Due to her Southern upbringing in South Carolina, Davis said she was 'brought up to be kind of aggressively nice' and that has given some men the wrong idea. 'People don't understand that and they're confused,' she said. 'Like, why is this person being so nice to me? And in dating, that can be tough because then they think it's a go and you're just like, "No, what gave you that impression?"'
