Longtime fans ofSex and the Citywill have immediately recognized the subtle nod to the series finale duringepisode 8 of the show’s reboot,And Just Like That…, when Carrie Bradshaw resurrected one of her most iconic dresses.
“Do you want to see something amazing?” Carrie asks her real estate agent friend Seema Patel. “I don’t want to brag, but it is my pride and joy.”
Carrie then pulls out the soft gray Versace gown, which wasreportedlythe most expensive dress (valued at $80,000) that she wore on the HBO series.
“Okay, what the f— am I looking at?” Seema asks.
“Versace,” Carrie replies. “I’ve only worn her twice. Once in Paris. And once here, just for fun. I sat at that window and ate a whole thing of Jiffy Pop.”
When Seema asked what she planned to do with such a special dress, Carrie said she wanted to pass it down to Charlotte’s daughter Lily.
“Charlotte’s daughter Lily has been here all week helping me archive everything, you know, for proper storage, in exchange for some of my vintage pieces which, sadly, were not vintage when I bought them,” Carrie said.
SATCcostume designer Patricia Field couldn’t join the reboot because she wasstyling season 2 ofEmily in Paris. But she did previously reveal that Carrie’s Versace gown was herall-time favorite fashion momentof the hit series.
“Some people make these crocheted doily gowns that they put on dolls and it goes over a toilet paper roll. They crochet this gown for a doll and the gown is really big, and then you just put the doll over the toilet paper roll and it sits in their bathroom. I always found that hysterical. That’s what that gown meant to me,” Field toldEntertainment Weekly.
“When we shot [the next-to-last episode], Carrie was waiting for Aleksandr to come to her hotel room in Paris, and in the end, he showed up very late,” the costume designer continued. “That gown is huge. I set that gown over the bed, and it literally covered the bed. It was the perfect princess moment.''
