CNN —Carrie Bradshaw, the lead character played by Sarah Jessica Parker in the 1998-2004 TV series “Sex and the City,” has always been more of a fashion daredevil than a fashion darling. Parker spotted in one of her character's more outlandish looks while filming for the new season of "And Just Like That." “Definitely too much,” read one critique under @everyoutfitonsatc’s post of Jessica Parker in the latter look. So has Bradshaw’s style really changed, or have we? It seems like a ripe topic for the character’s newspaper column, and one Jessica Parker has thoughts on too.

In their sophomore year, on the first day back after Christmas vacation, she came to school wearing newly fashionable clothes with a trendy hairstyle — but the bullying and teasing never stopped. “Carrie,” Mr. King’s first published novel, was released 50 years ago, in 1974. Many things have changed in the half-century since Mr. King’s novel was published, yet Carrie White remains a strikingly relevant and highly relatable figure. “Not really, not at the subconscious level where savage things grow.” I was hooked. What did Mr. King mean by “savage things?” I didn’t realize then that I would spend so much of my adult life thinking about this very question.

Samantha then asks to be put on speaker phone to pay her respects to the place. The call ends with Samantha still 3,500 miles away. Throughout the seasons, men and bistros came and went, most often within a single 22-minute episode. Each of the characters had an archetype to inhabit: flighty Carrie, career-minded Miranda, marriage-minded Charlotte, libertine Samantha. Samantha was a caricature of licentiousness, but Cattrall’s enthusiasm for the role — the husky voice, the double-dare-you smile, the symphony of sex noises — made her irreplaceable.

This article contains spoilers for Episode 11 of the second season of “And Just Like That …”After 11 episodes of ball gowns and bucket hats, questionable Met Gala looks and so much plaid, Season 2 of “And Just Like That …” has come to an end. In the season’s finale, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) hosts a soiree to say goodbye to her apartment. Most of her closest friends are there, except for Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), the “Sex and the City” fan favorite who finally appeared in a 75-second scene, to explain why she could not attend the party. In the episode, which forces reckonings between many of the show’s romantic pairings, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) wonders whether her relationship with Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez) was “a good train wreck” or simply a train wreck. This season, members of the Styles desk often asked similar questions about the show’s costumes, and ahead of the final episode, gathered to discuss Carrie’s kitten, Samantha’s return and whether the show’s ostentatious looks paid off.

This article contains spoilers for Episode 10 of the second season of “And Just Like That …”For most people, moments of rest are not the time for polished outfits, especially in the post-pandemic swirl of athleisure. And the bedroom itself, as a setting, is a valued place — a venue for vulnerable conversations, significant discussions or the odd laugh. Ahead of Episode 10, members of the Styles desk discussed the memorable loungewear, tote bags and kittens in the latest episode of the series. Vanessa Friedman There was a lot going on in this episode, but what I can’t get out of my mind were the pajamas (or, in some cases, the lack of them). Especially both Carrie’s Madeline-in-Paris set, with matching high-heeled mules, and Lisa Todd Wexley’s feather-trimmed silk set.

This article contains spoilers for Episode 7 of the second season of “And Just Like That …”He’s back — and he is free for dinner on Valentine’s Day. It seems the man with the ripped T-shirt who loved a cabin upstate has developed a certain polish with age. At the same time, others are also having their own Valentine’s Day celebrations: Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) meets a new love interest in Amelia (Miriam Shor). Nya (Karen Pittman) embraces her single-dom, and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) lands herself in the emergency room after a bad run-in with pot brownies. Ahead of Episode 7, members of The New York Times Styles desk chatted about the dresses, slippers and love letters to New York on display in the latest installment of the series.

In the new episode, the city is hit by a powerhouse of a snowstorm, but the protagonists have places to be. Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker) is discussing her film at the Museum of Modern Art. Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Che (Sara Ramirez) have to get to “Widow Con.” And Charlotte (Kristin Davis) is out in the snow searching drugstores on a complicated motherly mission to help her daughter Lily. Ahead of Episode 6, members of The New York Times’s Styles desk discussed the coats, patterns and earmuffs on display — sometimes barely visible through the squall — in the latest installment of the series. Jeremy Allen Carrie’s sweeping Moncler coat by Valentino’s Pierpaolo Piccioli is a high point of this episode for me.

Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) was often cash poor because she spent her writer’s income on things like expensive shoes. At one point, she got into money trouble after a breakup and had to rely on her friend Charlotte (Kristin Davis) to bail her out. Let’s be clear: These women were always quite privileged — perpetually sipping pricey cosmopolitans in the greatest city in the world. But in the original series, they had to work for a living, and sometimes they had to worry about money. We see Miranda logging long hours in the office, Samantha courting prospective clients and Charlotte showing the latest art to potential buyers.

When Seema’s Birkin was taken, it sent me right down the rabbit hole to “Sex and the City,” Season 3, when Carrie’s Fendi Baguette was snatched — and then a very similar Baguette reappeared in this episode. Jeremy Allen Once again, purse as plot point! How was that actually quite large Birkin just lying under shrubbery? JA I was also struck by how Covid really became a plot point for the first time in this series — especially sartorially. Callie Holtermann I caught myself laughing a couple of times during this episode — sometimes with the characters and other times at them.

There is a dedicated Instagram account on which the costume designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago share their finds, with 277,000 followers. Is the era of quiet luxury, so recently embraced by TikTok, already at an end? Has the physics of fashion exerted its force and produced an equal and opposite reaction to an earlier action? In many ways, the fashion in “And Just Like That …” seems to protest too much. Just as more obviously coded consumption has been around since Louis Vuitton plunked his initials on some leather back in 1896 or since Jay Gatsby started tossing his shirts.

“Sex and the City” presented Aidan as Mr. Nice Guy, and Carrie might still blame herself for their breakup. And then Aidan punished her with passive aggression, even letting her know he was contemplating cheating on her in retaliation. Carrie was quick to tell Big about this, but did Aidan do the same with his wife? Carrie’s careerCarrie Bradshaw, sexual anthropologist, has written a long-running newspaper column, a number of pieces for Vogue and several books. None of these things will give Carrie what she still needs, which is time to reboot more fully after Big’s death.
