Sarah Jessica Parker explains the massive hat she wore that went viral in And Just Like That Season 3 premiere
Max debuted the third season of their Sex and the City continuation And Just Like That..., which went viral for a bizarre headwear choice.
Sarah Jessica Parker 's Carrie Bradshaw was seen wearing a massive 'cloud hat' designed by Maryam Keyhani, which many fans discussed on social media.
Many compared it to the huge hat worn by the beloved animated character Strawberry Shortcake while many others were just confused.
As it turns out, it was Parker, 60, herself who chose the hat, as she revealed in a new interview with USA Today.
'I saw the hat and wanted it on my head. At this point, there's no pretend dilly-dallying around,' Parker admitted.
'We pretty much just put stuff on my head and photograph it, and hope that (creator) Michael Patrick (King) is hospitable to the idea,' she added.

The scene featured Carrie walking through Washington Square Park with her friend Seema (Sarita Choudhury), also donning an Ossie Clark brown, pink and white dress that she said reminded her of neapolitan ice cream.
She said the dress would feel 'incomplete' without a hat, adding, 'once you've put a lot of hats on your head, you feel like it's missing its punctuation point.'
'So there was that hat. It was going to be a lovely summer day, and it just felt like the period at the end of the sentence. I loved it and (King) agreed,' she said.
Parker also joked of King, 'I feel we've really worn him down. His eyes have adapted to large-scale things on heads now, so he's pretty generous about how often they can appear.'
King refers to the hat as, 'the Hindenburg hot-air balloon,' adding it felt like a bold choice to kick off a new season.
'It's like, "Hey, everybody, we're back! Here's a hat that Carrie would wear eating sherbet in Washington Square Park. Why not?"' King joked.
'I've learned over the years that sometimes logic is not as good as a hat. It makes people say, "I love it. I hate it. Oh, my God, what was she thinking?"' he added.
'It'll be a meme. It'll be a thing. People will wear it at Halloween. It's always fun, but with that (hat) particularly, I had to call up some of the writers and say, "Get ready. Once it's on the head, it's not coming off,"' he joked.
Fans were quick to chime in with their thoughts on the ludicrous hat, with one adding, 'I can get behind the wildest of Carrie's fashion choices but this duvet cover of a hat is truly unhinged.'
'I love the show but someone needs to call the fashion police on Carrie's hat lol!' said another fan.
'I know nothing about fashion, but what is this hat Carrie is wearing?' another fan quipped.
'What's happening here...' someone else wondered.
'Are we all seeing this, is this a joke, what is happening?' another said.
'I'm sorry, but what was that hat? I feel ill.'
'2 things I could've done without on the 1st episode of Season 3... This hat and Rosie O'Donnell.'
