Sarah Jessica Parker Does Balletcore Carrie Bradshaw Style at NYC Ballet Event
The big bow, the mismatched shoes — Sex and the City meets goth balletcore.
Sarah Jessica Parker is Carrie Bradshaw. Her latest look at the New York City Ballet's 2023 Fall Fashion Gala proves this, as SPJ channeled full Carrie Bradshaw with her look—balletcore edition.
First, there was the dress: a black Carolina Herrera tutu dress that looked like a ready-to-wear version of a costume straight from Black Swan. It boasted a column of keyhole cutouts and a ballet-inspired off-the-shoulder neckline. And while the dress alone was already a standout, the accessories only made the look even better. SPJ went with an oversized hair bow (which happens to be a big trend from the Spring/Summer 2024 runways that SPJ is clearly hopping on early), donned a Vacheron Constantin watch, and carried a mini silver sequin handbag. Tieing everything together were her shoes—mismatched pink and black heels.
The shoe moment was quintessential Carrie, a throwback to Sex and the City Season 3 where Carrie wore different-colored Christian Louboutins.
SPJ commented on that costume decision, responding to a post on the account EveryOutfitOnSATC, writing, "We had 2 pairs of what I believe are @louboutinworld scrappy sandals. Pat and I chose to do 1 of each. Perhaps because both were so delicious in color and seemed in harmony with the dress but also because we simply loved doing 1 of each. Sending my best. And hope this is a satisfactory answer. Xxx."
Though Carrie isn't someone who would likely wear all black as she has a penchant for mixing bold colors and loud prints, her spirit in SPJ's goth balletcore look was still most definitely present.
This was a big moment for Sex and the City fans, especially since Season 2 of its reboot And Just Like That ended about two months ago. While devotees can rejoice that the show has been renewed for a third season, it will be a while until filming again, even longer until available for streaming.
Until then, we'll continue rewatching Sex and the City on Max to get our daily dose of Carrie fashion content.
