Fans react to bonkers And Just Like That detail: ‘Unhinged'
Now that's a real statement-maker. A year after Sarah Jessica Parker gave fans a preview of her character Carrie Bradshaw's divisive wardrobe in season three of And Just Like That, and the episode containing the offending hat finally aired on May 29. The topper in question — a voluminous, floppy gingham look from Maryam Keyhani (A$797) — has been described as 'unhinged' and akin to the shape of Strawberry Shortcake's signature pink style, reports Page Six. In a scene strolling around Washington Square Park in New York City with co-star Sarita Choudhury, Parker wore the outlandish piece with a colourful vintage '70s tiered Ossie Clark dress and Dr. Scholl's wooden slides. 'I saw the hat and wanted it on my head,' Parker told US Weekly in a video interview yesterday. 'We pretty much just put stuff on my head and photograph it, and hope that Michael Patrick [King] is hospitable to the idea,' she added, referring to the show's creator. The actress, 60, added that the aforementioned frock reminded her of Neapolitan ice cream. 'It felt incomplete, as dresses often do once you've put a lot of hats on your head, you feel like it's missing its punctuation point,' Parker, whose character is known for her quirky headwear collection, explained. Apparently, King was supportive of the billowy hat. 'I feel we've really worn him down,' Parker said. 'His eyes have adapted to large-scale things on heads now, so he's pretty generous about how often they can appear.' But, of course, fans of the HBO show weren't as supportive of SJP's choice of headwear. 'Carrie Bradshaw in a stupid hat we are so back,' one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another said, 'I can get behind the wildest of Carrie's fashion choices but this duvet cover of a hat is truly unhinged.' 'Now Carrie, what the helly is this hat?' a third jokingly questioned. Others, however, didn't hate the look. 'this hat is amazing. I hope everyone gets one this summer,' another user posted. It's safe to assume Carrie will deliver many more controversial fashion moments this season.

And Just Like That Returns With a Third Season as Gloriously Unhinged as Carrie's Outfits
Last week, I received some disturbing news. There were whispers in journalistic circles—and by that, I specifically mean circles that had been lucky enough to receive early episodes from the hotly anticipated new season of Michael Patrick King's And Just Like That—that the upcoming third installment of the divisive Sex and the City reboot was… actually good. Not bonkers, watch-it-through-your-fingers, so bad it's good, but genuinely good, and a real departure from its previous, wonderfully unhinged outings. Could it be? Surely not. To find out, I dove head first into the six episodes shared with critics. And now, I'm delighted to confirm that reports of its superior quality have been exaggerated. And Just Like That remains as thrillingly batshit as ever—and I, for one, could not be more grateful. Sarah Jessica Parker's beloved Carrie Bradshaw in And Just Like That Season 3. Photo: Courtesy of HBO We pick things up with Carrie (the ever-luminous Sarah Jessica Parker) and co. not long after the (highly surreal) events of Season 2: namely, our gal about town's decision to pause her relationship with John Corbett's beleaguered Aidan Shaw for five years while he raises his teenage sons. The pair are still in touch, though, sending each other mostly blank postcards and occasionally having very awkward phone sex. Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), meanwhile, is cruising 'lady bars,' which only seem to yield eccentrics or former acquaintances, and living in a noisy Airbnb next door to a crazed naked man wielding a meat cleaver, even though her best friend, Carrie, literally has a giant, mostly empty Gramercy Park townhouse and garden. As for Charlotte (Kristin Davis), she has, as usual, got her hands full with her life as a high-powered, late-night-partying gallerina, as well as her husband, Harry (Evan Handler), and kids, Rock (Alexa Swinton) and Lily (Cathy Ang), the latter of whom has a new, polyamorous, ballet dancer boyfriend.
