Field originally planned to style Carrie in a spring 1998 Marc Jacobs runway dress, but ultimately decided to go with something more timeless for the opening credits, per the Julien’s Auctionswebsite.
After rummaging through a $5 bin in Manhattan’s Garment District, she found the skirt and — with Parker’s stamp of approval — the iconic tutu became a critical part of not onlySATChistory, but also fashion history.
