After 27 years, 94 episodes, a reboot and two films, the series' finale marked Carrie Bradshaw's final television appearance. Carrie wore a mix of OTT tulle, tie-dye capris and playful accessories alongside classic, polished pieces. A little black-grey brunch dress paired with gold strappy sandals, a Gucci embossed shoulder bag, a nameplate necklace and aviators signalled confident, thirtysomething self-dressing that resisted age-based norms. Stella McCartney horse-print trousers exemplified the show's practice of bringing runway whimsy into everyday wardrobes and reflected the experimental, aspirational spirit of early-2000s fashion.
Despite the OTT tulle dresses, tie-dye capris and ridiculous accessories, (kneepad tights anyone?) it's the little black grey dress that she wears to brunch that is most memorable to me. After a disappointing night with Vaughn Wysel (Justin Theroux), Carrie emerges from her apartment not downbeat but giddy, knowing she has a story that is going to make her gang shriek with laughter over eggs and cosmos. I love how she wears what could be considered a classic date-night dress to see her girlfriends.
The gold strappy sandals, big Gucci embossed shoulder bag, signature nameplate necklace and classic aviators all add to the confident mood. In today's world of conservative tradwife dressing, it's refreshing to see a single, thirtysomething woman dressing for herself. It's also a nice flipped bird to those who think age should determine what one can and can't wear. The Stella McCartney horse
