Gretta Monahan: Wardrobe brings the star power
Are you watching Season of And Just Like That We re about midway through at this point and viewers have all kinds of opinions about the plot Specific are loving the character behaviors and developments like Miranda s newfound love life whereas others not so much like Carrie waiting on Aiden But one thing largest part everyone s enjoying dishing on the clothes This is after all the follow-up show to the one Sex And The City that the majority indelibly fused fashion and television forever in our minds And it continues to do so now in a fearless and fun way with each character expressing their personalities through their wardrobe choices So let s have a look at particular of the big looks dreamed up and presented on the show far by costume designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago shall we One of my absolute favorite developments has been the introduction of Lisa played by Nicole Ari Parker Her character loves big and colorful graphic designer statements and we love her for them One of her best of the season so far has been a look in episode a whimsical yellow and black translucent coat from Jovana Louis The topper was layered over cream pants and black and cream Jennifer Chamandi shoes Killer There was also another stunning Lisa moment in episode in a gorgeous geometric Badgley Mischka sheath dress But the icing on the proverbial cake was her accessory a necklace of oversized woven raffia balls So devil-may-care artful and fun all at once Another new character Seema has also had specific big moments In Episode much is made perhaps too much as the show makes abundantly clear of Seema s embrace of animal prints In fact she s advised not to wear them any more because they intimidate men As we see her perfectly owning a look a sequin-embroidered snakeskin minidress by Balenciaga we know backing down isn t her style Now let s get to Charlotte who rarely disappoints Her love of prim pencil skirts and pretty bright colored blouses continues this season Sometimes it s a vintage Prada palm leaf print shirt with a pink tweed Oscar De La Renta skirt Other times its a bold red silk blouse with a tiered ruffle sleeves and a trim black pencil skirt But I also equally relished Charlotte s casual takes Even just walking her pooch she was the picture of effortless elegance donning a navy Veronica Beard polo sweater with khaki utility pants and Roger Vivier slingbacks Of class it doesn t hurt that Kristen Davis who plays Charlotte can make anything look good But then again so can Sarah Jessica Parker In one scene together on the streets of New York the duo played to their strengths with selected true styling wizardry Charlotte wore a blue-and-white striped Emilia Wickstead dress complete with a wide white belt and contrasting lemon-yellow Christian Louboutin sandals As for Carrie beneath her dramatic saucer hat she manifested off a lacy and layered Simone Rocha dress beneath a vintage Ann Demeulemeester jacket and Maison Margiela shoes Each outfit is perfectly indicative of the character wearing it Charlotte is unfailingly drawn to the impeccable and classic whereas Carrie loves a more romantic artsy and independent aesthetic Which brings us to one look in particular that had more than a sparse tongues wagging For those who aren t particularly fond of Carrie s habit of waiting on Aiden this season in episode she followed him to his home in Virginia where she seems like a fish out of water and dressed like one too There her dress dubbed Little House on the Carrie in the episode was meant to show just how much Carrie is changing herself to be with Aiden And if clothes are a reflection of how we feel on the inside well I can understand why so a great number of viewers are saying it s time for carrie to pack it in and go home The clothes on the series And Just Like That are part of the appeal Contributed
