A Fendi Baguette bag, a pink tulle tutu and a newspaper print dress make up just some of Carrie Bradshaw's most recognisable fashion items, but perhaps nothing is more closely associated with the fictional style icon than her love of shoes. Specifically, Manolo Blahnik's, with the designer receiving multiple name checks throughout the six seasons of Sex and The City.
However, it seems Sarah Jessica Parker's alter-ego is turning to a different shoe brand to fill the shelves in her expansive wardrobe, at least according to the latest season of And Just Like That... which will be landing on our screens every Thursday from today. That's our evening plans sorted for the foreseeable. But back to the shoes.
The season three trailer opens with a close-up shot of what is obviously Carrie strutting across hardwood floors. Our very first glimpse of Carrie, and it's her feet. Or rather, her shoes, because the vibrant orange and pink clashing metallic platform heels with lightning bolt detailing are sooo Carrie-coded.
The shoes in question are, of course, Terry de Havilland's Zie Platform Heel, possessing all of the British brand's signature design details. Carrie's in good company with Kate Moss, Margot Robbie and Millie Bobby Brown also amongst the footwear label's A-list fans. Sarah Jessica Parker has also been seen wearing the '70s-inspired designs IRL, even when she's not on set portraying the New York journalist.
And they're far from the only pair featured in the show. The Lena Non Stop Disco Platform Heels previously made an appearance in season one of AJLT..., after costume designer Molly Rogers purchased a selection directly through the website like any other shopper. As soon as the episode dropped, sales of the shoes soared by 131%, with a 240% increase in year-on-year sales across the site throughout the three months the show aired.
Since then, TDH has worked closely with the show's costume team, so it's no surprise that even more of the brand's bold, unapologetic designs – from dazzling heeled sandals to vibrant platforms – promise to steal the scenes in series three. Including a metallic turquoise blue iteration of the New York sandal.
'The New York sandal is actually a redeveloped archive Terry de Havilland style. Molly found an original vintage '70s version at London's Portobello Market and loved it. We then re-created it in a new colour way especially for Carrie,' Josh Spurling, Operations Director at TDH, tells Cosmopolitan UK.
Of course, Carrie's shoes aren't the only thing to catch our eye in the latest season of And Just Like That... Keep scrolling for all the details on her outfits throughout season three.
Unsurprisingly, the internet went wild over Carrie's gigantic gingham bonnet by Maryam Keyhani. She paired it with a multicoloured Ossie Clark dress, a Pierre Cardin purple cloth handbag, and threw her support behind the ugly shoes trend in Dr. Scholl's clog mule sandals.
Ever on trend, Carrie puts her own spin on the naked dressing trend in this see-through nude tulle midi dress and matching puff sleeve drawstring waist duster coat from Simone Rocha's spring summer 2024 collection. With 3D flowers incorporated into the design, it also ticks off the corsage look.
If you've resisted jumping on the spring summer fashion trend for polka dots, maybe Carrie's blouse can convince you otherwise? She paired it with pink paint-splattered trousers for a lesson in pattern-clashing with red sandals completing the look.
Speaking of pattern clashing, only Carrie could pull off a mint green graphic print top with Zimmerman pink and purple floral print satin trousers. Her crystal-embellished Aquazzura mules and side pony are peak '90s – we love!
This 'fit is classic Carrie: a vintage mint-green Yves Saint Laurent pussybow blouse, a flippy tiered pink vintage Gucci skirt and Aquazzura sling-back heels. We're drooling over that bejewelled Gucci bag.
Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda crowded around a bar table? It's like the OG days! (Almost...) In this scene, Carrie wears a Zandra Rhodes blue lace blouse and pleated wide-leg trousers from the British designer's spring/summer 2020 collection. Her hair pulled up shows off her Bryony Raymond Confetti Plume earrings perfectly.
