Channel Your Inner Carrie Bradshaw With Sarah Jessica Parker's Fall Outfit

Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw has been immortalized as a fashion icon for her fun, girly, and sometimes outlandish outfits. Frilly tutus, fur jackets, and fancy shoes (Manolos, of course), make up the character's lust-worthy wardrobe on the HBO TV show. And while it's been over a decade since the show last aired on the small screen, her style lives on through Sarah Jessica Parker, who portrayed Bradshaw on TV. Time after time, the actress has demonstrated the style icon's love affair with fashion, sporting eclectic prints, dress over trousers, and killer heels in an assortment of colors on the streets and the red carpet.

So when SJP was recently seen wearing a Dolce & Gabbana floral dress, a statement coat, and white tights with metallic purple heels, it was as if she brought Bradshaw back to life right on the streets of New York City. The actress accentuated her outfit with a simple gray bag and a copy of Simon Morrison's Bolshoi Confidential. The over-the-top but still chic (repeat, very chic) look is what we think the character would have worn today if the show was still running.

If you want to get Carrie Bradshaw’s distinctive look, take a cue from this outfit and go for print on print. SJP balanced her maximalist outfit with aplomb by balancing out the size of the prints—her outerwear featured a much smaller pattern compared to the oversized flowers on the dress. Ever the shoe hound, the actress opted for metallic Mary Jane heels—the Ursula style from her own line dubbed SJP, which are on sale for just $147.

Whether you’re a fan of the Carrie Bradshaw look or not, SJP’s approach to wearing tights is pretty refreshing. If there’s one essential winter item that everyone dreads wearing, it’s tights. They’re often itchy and, to put it bluntly, dull. A white pair not only looks simple and clean, it can make your otherwise dark fall outfit pop.
