As And Just Like That… wraps up its emotional second season, Carrie Bradshaw delivers a final fashion moment that is more than a look—it’s a love letter to her style legacy. The iconic character, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, closes the series with a vibrant, unforgettable outfit that reflects her growth, her roots, and the joy she’s reclaimed.
For a woman whose fashion choices have always spoken volumes, this closing ensemble is a statement of celebration, transformation, and identity.
A Reinvention of a Classic
At the heart of the outfit is a voluminous cranberry crinoline skirt by Molly Goddard, evoking immediate nostalgia for the white tutu from the opening credits of Sex and the City. But this time, it’s deeper. This isn’t the youthful Carrie dancing through puddles. It’s a mature, reflective Carrie who has lived, loved, and learned—but never lost her spirit.
The rich red tulle flows with drama, femininity, and confidence. It’s romantic yet powerful, whimsical yet grown-up. It marks a beautiful full-circle moment—an evolution of that iconic tutu into something more rooted, yet just as expressive.
Layers of Meaning
Carrie pairs the skirt with a pink sequined L’Wren Scott cardigan, radiating her signature sparkle. The shimmer adds warmth and femininity, and its snug fit keeps the silhouette grounded. Over it, she wears a vintage plaid coat, found in London’s famed Portobello Market—a piece that feels lovingly worn, timeless, and perfectly “Carrie.”
The layering speaks volumes. It represents the complexity of her journey—fashion-forward, but never divorced from her history. Each garment tells a story, honoring the past while dressing for the present.
Bold Accessories That Complete the Look
In true Bradshaw fashion, accessories play a pivotal role. Carrie carries a Vivienne Westwood purse, which brings a rebellious, artsy edge to the otherwise soft and whimsical palette. On her feet, she wears fuchsia SJP Collection heels—a nod to Parker’s own shoe brand and a reminder that bold choices never go out of style.
Topping it all off is a vintage velvet-pink hat, which adds a final flourish of playfulness and individuality. The overall outfit walks the line between theatrical and authentic—just like Carrie herself.
A Look That Speaks Volumes
The show’s costume designers, Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago, revealed that the look was intentionally designed to be “bittersweet.” Carrie, standing alone on a Parisian balcony, isn’t in mourning. She’s empowered. She’s radiant. She’s finally choosing herself.
This final fashion statement encapsulates the heart of Carrie’s character: her ability to express emotion through clothing, to turn personal milestones into style moments, and to remind us all that fashion is not just about clothes—it’s about how we feel when we wear them.
As Barry White plays and she dances freely, Carrie’s outfit is no longer just a costume—it’s a celebration. Of healing, of independence, and of the joy that comes from embracing exactly who you are.
Fashion as Emotional Storytelling
Carrie Bradshaw has always used fashion as a form of self-expression. From the Manolos to the mismatched prints, her wardrobe is as much a character as she is. And in this final scene, it tells the story of a woman who has come full circle—not by returning to where she was, but by carrying all of her past forward with strength and grace.
It’s not just a final outfit. It’s a fashion thesis. One that says: joy is powerful, and dressing like yourself is always in style.
