So, one of the many baffling<\/a> things about And Just Like That<\/em> has been the show\u2019s handling of the pandemic. Just as the omicron variant had the rest of us are once again reorganizing our lives, reevaluating our risk tolerance and relearning which masks to wear (NIOSH-approved<\/a> N95<\/a>, KN95 and KF94<\/a> masks. Period.), the Sex and the City <\/em><\/a>follow-up\u2019s premiere<\/a> saw Carrie, Miranda<\/a> and Charlotte proclaiming that the pandemic was over. And, look, no shade. We\u2019re dealing with an unpredictable, constantly evolving situation, and, like, who wants 10 episodes of Carrie Bradshaw just hanging out in her apartment during lockdown?<\/p>\n

Twist: <\/em>I do!<\/p>\n

I mean, not really<\/em>. But kinda. Hear me out: We all know that Carrie is a woman who dresses for herself. Her unique, eclectic, occasionally chaotic<\/a> sense of style is rarely dictated by what men might find attractive or what anyone else might find appropriate. She wears whatever the hell strikes her fancy. Tutus? All the time. Knickerbockers and newsie caps? Why not! Rompers? Sure! An evil queen crown as wedding attire? Sign a b-tch up! There\u2019s no end to the playful, left-of-center choices the character has made over the years. But while the glamorous gowns and statement looks get the lion\u2019s share of the attention from the blogs and the Instas, I\u2019ve always found the clothes Carrie wears when she\u2019s home alone to be particularly fascinating.<\/p>\n

Each episode of Sex and the City<\/em>, of course, revolved around a column Carrie was writing<\/a>. And so, would get these interstitial scenes of the character at home, typing away at her laptop and occasionally wandering around her apartment trying to organize her thoughts about a particular topic. To her immense credit, costume designer Patricia Field<\/a> almost never phoned it in for these scenes. Rather than just knocking about the house in sweats and t-shirts, you always got the impression that Carrie was playing dress-up between paragraphs, throwing together odd little ensembles to amuse herself and take her mind off a looming deadline. I mean, who amongst us hasn\u2019t<\/em> spent an hour creatively rigging a set of overalls with a sheer button-down shirt when we should be writing?<\/p>\n
