Costume Designer Claps Back at Criticism of Carrie’s Outrageous Hat!

by

The television series Sex and the City was one of HBO’s early major successes, and it has continued to influence popular culture over the years. The spinoff show titled “And Just Like That” is currently streaming its third season on Max, with subscribers able to enjoy more daring fashion choices from the cast. However, costume designer Molly Rogers recently defended the large hat worn by Carrie in a few episodes against criticism from viewers. Let’s delve into the details.

As a film enthusiast, I must say that the third season of “And Just Like That” has been nothing short of thrilling, even with the departure of two key cast members in this recent run. I’ve found myself deeply engrossed in the series, particularly Cynthia Nixon’s portrayal of Miranda. The fashion choice for Carrie’s Strawberry Shortcake-inspired hat left me utterly surprised, and it seems that many fans share my sentiment, as Roger recently discussed with Page Six about the widespread reaction to this unique style statement.

It’s somewhat frustrating for me, given that, by now, we’ve essentially become like a close-knit family, watching the same show and understanding its essence. Doesn’t that bother you at all?

It’s not inaccurate to say so. Characters from Sex and the City have always been known for their bold styles, with Carrie Bradshaw, portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker, leading the way. Even though the hat from Season 3 is iconic, she’s worn plenty of daring ensembles before. Take her oversized snowsuit/dress from the blizzard episode in And Just Like That, for instance.

During the same interview, Molly Rogers delved deeper into the public’s reaction towards Carrie’s oversized hat. She provided another perspective, suggesting: “She elaborated on the general public’s feedback regarding Carrie’s large-brimmed headgear.

Are you asking if Carrie should go for a stroll in the park with Seema while wearing a straw hat from L.L.Bean? I could arrange that, but I’m not particularly keen on the idea.

Both “Sex and the City” and its successor, “And Just Like That,” are known for their aspirational elements, particularly Carrie’s stylish wardrobe and shoe collection. It seems out of place for Carrie to wear a casual baseball cap or an ordinary store-bought hat, given her character. Perhaps we should let the creators, Rogers, continue with their work.

Sarah Jessica Parker not only acts as Carrie in the spinoff, but she also serves as an Executive Producer. It’s well-known that she has saved costumes from the original series, particularly her iconic hats. As Rogers stated, she was deeply invested in those hats.

She reached for it, which was sitting on a table. All of a sudden, she felt drawn to it, exclaiming, ‘This is perfect! Let’s make it happen.’

It seems that the popular headgear has probably found its way into Sarah Jessica Parker’s collection too. Instead of just being instructed to sport the hat from Season 3, it appears she was eager to pull off this style. Notably, it’s generating quite a buzz in the news.

On Thursday, Max will air fresh episodes of “And Just Like That”. As we look forward to the 2025 TV lineup, let’s eagerly anticipate the stylish outfits the actors will don in the upcoming episodes.
