Move over Manolos! Where Carrie Bradshaw's new fave shoes & outfits in And Just Like That... season 3 are from
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. Follow Alex on Instagram. Alexandria Dale is the Digital Fashion Writer at Cosmopolitan UK.

What eBay's latest data tells us about the fashion consumer
In an industry grappling with overproduction, consumer fatigue, and calls for circularity, resale platforms are emerging not just as resale marketplaces—but as cultural barometers. eBay's latest Watchlist report, drawn from the behaviours of its 134 million users and over 2.3 billion listings, provides a timely snapshot of what shoppers really want this spring. The findings reveal a subtle reshaping of consumer values: heritage brands, utility-focused fashion, and romantic maximalism are all trending—but crucially, through a pre-loved lens. Pre-Loved moves mainstream In 2024, nearly 40 percent of clothing, shoes, and accessories sold on eBay were classified as "pre-loved", a significant shift in consumer behaviour that suggests secondhand is no longer niche—it's normative. The term 'vintage' is now searched more than 1,200 times per minute globally on the platform, a frequency that should give pause to traditional retailers still hedging bets on new-season volume. In the UK, Armani has emerged as the top-selling luxury label on the platform, while the Fendi Baguette and Omega x Swatch Moonswatch top the wishlist of discerning resale consumers. This appetite for luxury legacy—with a softened environmental impact—underscores a shift in how value is defined in fashion: rarity and provenance now rival "newness". Alexis Hoopes, eBay's VP of Global Fashion, sees the trend as part of a longer arc. 'We envision a world where circularity is the norm,' she notes, 'and we want to empower the entire circular fashion ecosystem.' Several key aesthetic themes have emerged from the report, each carrying implications for retail buyers, merchandisers, and brand strategists. Romantic bohemia, refined Boho has returned, but with sharper edges. Inspired by perennial muses like Jane Birkin and Kate Moss, this season's iteration is more editorial than festival. Think structured suedes, fringed accessories, and diaphanous fabrics rendered in elevated forms. Searches for the Chloé Paddington bag spiked 628 percent, while chiffon shirts (+86 percent) and 3D florals (+58 percent) reflect a craving for textured romanticism. Key item surges Fringe bags +41 percent Penny Lane jackets +44 percent Suede bags +58 percent Chloé Paddington bag +628 percent Tailoring as power play Power dressing is reasserting itself post-pandemic, but the silhouette has evolved. The cinched waist and sculptural blazer are having a moment, suggesting consumers are leaning into structured self-expression. Notably, searches for 'cinched blazer' rose 209 percent, with Prada work totes up 220 percent—indicating a revived desire for workwear with polish. Leading items Cinched blazer +209 percent Prada work tote +220 percent Oversized suits +87 percent (Balenciaga and Miu Miu top brands) Miu Miu Regard glasses +204 percent Hourglass blazer +141 percent Function meets fashion Utilitywear, tinged with Americana, is gaining traction—particularly among Gen Z consumers who prize functionality layered with irony. Vintage Carhartt , Tecovas boots , and canvas jackets are being reclaimed as style statements. Searches for 'barrel jeans' (+130 percent) and 'duck canvas' (+41 percent) reveal an appetite for workwear's raw edge reinterpreted for daily wear. Search growth Barrel jeans +130 percent Vintage Carhartt +29 percent Tecovas boots +15 percent Silk bandanas +52 percent Dior Saddle bag +63 percent Dreamlike hues and pastel play Colour storytelling is trending toward softness and sentiment. 'Butter yellow' dresses saw a 656 percent increase in search, while broader pastel categories also experienced growth. This shift towards whimsicality may indicate an emotional response to broader socio-economic anxiety—a kind of retail escapism. Pastel-driven growth Butter yellow +303 percent Ballet pink +42 percent Pistachio +70 percent Pastel tops +112 percent Denim's inevitable dominance Denim, always a fixture in wardrobes, is evolving once more—this time via archival appreciation. Searches for 'jeans from Japan' (+68 percent) and 'selvedge denim' (+46 percent) suggest a renewed interest in craftsmanship and provenance. As Amy Bannerman, eBay UK's Pre-Loved Style Director, notes, 'Denim gets reimagined every season. This time, it's about authenticity—original flares, raw finishes, and 80s cuts.' Denim data highlights Deadstock jeans +42 percent Vintage jeans +16 percent Raw denim +40 percent Canadian tuxedo searches +26 percent Implications for fashion retailers What eBay's data makes clear is that the consumer is no longer satisfied with just what's "new"; they are increasingly motivated by history, uniqueness, and sustainability. For retailers, this translates to curating around storytelling, sourcing with circularity in mind, and integrating resale into primary strategies—not as an afterthought, but as a growth driver. The rise in searches for previously unfashionable or nostalgic items—be it Penny Lane jackets or deadstock denim—points to a growing confidence among consumers to define style on their own terms, often guided by cultural memory and digital influence rather than seasonal trend cycles. In an era where the "new luxury" is defined by history and responsibility, platforms like eBay are not just marketplaces. They are mood boards, economic indicators, and—perhaps most critically—signals of where fashion is heading next.

Bella Hadid's Sleek Black Set Featured a Controversial Capri Fit
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." When an outfit toes the line between eccentric and stylish, you might reflect and think to yourself: I bet Bella Hadid could pull that off. Last night, at her sister Gigi Hadid's 30th birthday party, the Orebella founder proved once again she has a knack for seeing the vision, even when the rest of us might be hesitant to jump on board. Seen entering the venue for Gigi's party at Le Chalet in New York City, Bella appeared in a biker-chic getup that included a skintight black capri-style set from Nuovo Paris. The halter-top ensemble featured pieces of draped fabric tied together to create a loose belted moment that cinched at the supermodel's waist. For her footwear, Bella slipped into a pair of simple black pointed-toe heels with a strap around her ankles. She further accessorized her biker fit with a cool, rusted leather jacket, which she held in her hands, and a vintage cherry-red sequined Fendi Baguette with gold detailing along the outline. As for her glam, Bella packed on the gloss for a contrasting brown-and-red combo. She also swiped on a dash of brown eyeshadow to match her tight-lined black eyeliner. Leaning into early aughts trends, the model upped the ante with oversized thin silver hoop earrings and a bracelet. Similar to Gigi's look for the event, Bella mixed metals by throwing in a chunky gold ring on her middle finger. Sisters who share fashion tips together, stay together.

How Much Will Hermès Birkins, Chanel Flap Bags and Fendi Baguettes Cost After Trump's Tariffs Hit European Imports?
With 20 percent tariffs imposed on European Union countries by U.S. President Donald Trump's new policy, brands like Hermès, Fendi, Chanel, Gucci and Dior may be forced to increase the prices of some of their bestselling products, including luxury bags made in Italy and France. Companies can share tariffs with retailers depending on their supply and demand. However, when it comes to the luxury market, 'it is likely that most, and perhaps all, of the tariff with be passed on to the buyer in the form of a higher price,' Randall Holcombe, professor of economics at Florida State University, told WWD. More from WWD The Power of Flowers Celebrated in Paris Lindsay Lohan Pops in Purple Chanel Minidress With Jamie Lee Curtis in Yellow Vivienne Westwood Suit for 'Freakier Friday' Presentation at CinemaCon 2025 New York Fashion Designer Kenny Bonavitacola Dies at 71 'Purchasers of luxury goods are probably not very price sensitive, so sellers will be able to pass the tariff on to buyers in the form of higher prices. This is more true for luxury goods than for goods that have price-sensitive buyers,' he explained. If the brands pass all 20 percent of the tariffs on to the consumer, here's how the existing prices of some of the luxury bags could look. Chanel flap bag (small, grained calfskin and gold-tone metal, black), currently priced at $10,400 at the brand's website, could cost $12,480 after tariffs. Hermès Birkin typically starts at $12,000, according to Sotheby's, but it could start at $14,400 after tariffs. Fendi Baguette (blue denim-effect FF jacquard bag), currently priced at $3,490 at the brand's website, could cost $4,188. Gucci Jackie bag (medium size), currently priced at $4,800 at the brand's website, could cost $5,760. Dior Saddle bag (medium soft with strap black goatskin), currently priced at $4,400 at the brand's website, could cost $5,280. Dior Lady Dior bag (medium size, black cannage lambskin), currently priced at $6,500 at the brand's website, could cost $7,800. On Thursday, Citi identified publicly traded companies with the highest revenue exposure to the U.S. market, listing LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, Dior, Fendi, Givenchy and others) with 25 percent and Kering (Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen and others) with 24 percent. Meanwhile, the luxury companies with lower U.S. exposure were Moncler (13 percent), Swatch Group (15 percent), Prada Group (16 percent), Hermès International (17 percent) and Burberry (19 percent). For Holcombe, the tariffs 'should have a minimal impact on their sales. If luxury brand buyers are less price-sensitive, there will be little need to shift their business models in response to the tariffs,' he said. In case of retaliatory tariffs — the European Union is preparing tariffs, regulatory measures and restrictions on U.S. firms, expected after Monday — the luxury market should still be the least affected, according to Holcombe. The issue would be if international consumers decide to boycott Made in USA products. 'There are not many American brands that produce for those markets. The bigger impact is likely to be from consumers in other countries who decide not to buy American goods as a protest against U.S. tariff policy. We have already seen this in Canada, for example, where consumers are boycotting U.S. goods,' Holcombe said.
