If I could raid any closet in Manhattan, it would undoubtedly be Sarah Jessica Parker’s—or more specifically, that of her onscreen alter ego, Carrie Bradshaw.
For decades, the streets of New York City have served as the ultimate runway for Bradshaw’s footwear, cementing her status as the world’s premier fictional shoe connoisseur.

While her affinity for Manolo Blahnik is legendary, the evolution of her style in the Sex and the City sequel, And Just Like That…, has introduced a new generation of “it-shoes” to the cultural lexicon. From architectural silhouettes to whimsical textures, Parker continues to prove that a great pair of heels isn’t just an accessory; it’s the heartbeat of an outfit.
In various chapters of the series, Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw has sported her favorite shoe label, Manolo Blahnik, some Christian Louboutins, Aquazzura heels, and several pairs from her footwear line, SJP. Below, we curate the most iconic pairs from the series that define Bradshaw’s modern-day glamour.
1. Architectural Elegance: Maison Margiela Mary Janes & Avant-Garde Denim
Parker recently donned a pair of white Maison Margiela Mary Jane pumps that blend classic sophistication with modern allure.
Cut in Italy from shiny patent bovine leather, these pumps have a feminine Mary Jane silhouette defined by side cutouts and a buckled strap across the vamps. They have classic almond toes and around 4-inch-thick heels.

I love how Parker paired the clean and versatile white Mary Janes with a sculptural cotton denim skirt by the French luxury fashion house, enhancing the look’s modern aesthetic.
Featuring box pleats that create a ruched, bubble-like look around the hips, a raw hem that ends just below SJP’s knees, and a dirty-used effect, it wonderfully captures the avant-garde and deconstructive designs synonymous with the house.
SJP wore the skirt with a nude Donna Karan New York long-sleeved top that hugs her form flawlessly and highlights her cleavage with its deep V-neckline. She donned the same ensemble for another filming in June.

2. Crystal Drama: René Caovilla Slingbacks Meet Paint-Splatter Overalls
The same day, SJP decided to liven up the And Just Like That set by donning a pair of crystal-embellished fabric pumps by Rene Caovilla.
These Italian-made gold-tone pumps enchantingly represent the footwear label’s opulent evening shoe designs. With their glittering crystal embellishments in various shades of blue, they let SJP sparkle from every angle.
They have pointed toes and a stretch halter slingback strap perched atop a 4.25-inch stiletto heel. These are the perfect choice if you want to spice up an ensemble.

While I think these exquisite pumps would look amazing for a nighttime party, SJP simply wore them on the set with Taxi Vintage blue overalls splattered with neon pink and green paint. It has a zipped pocket at the center front, a drawstring waist, and elasticized cuffed hems to show off her shoes.
Underneath the overalls was a whimsical, sheer, long-sleeved top with a map of New York City on it.

3. The Modern Neutral: Snakeskin Platform Pumps & Sheer Layered Dress
SJP changed her clothes for the third time that day, swapping her stilettos for a pair of brown snakeskin shoes. Their double platforms and tall block heels added around three inches to her petite height.
I love how they perfectly complemented her sheer nude dress, which she wore beneath an oversized white shirt. The knee-length number had sheer bishop sleeves, a drawstring collar, and a gently pleated ruffled skirt.

She layered the dress underneath an oversized white shirt resembling a coat. I suppose it’s only a cover up before she appears on camera, but I would prefer to see it removed as it detracts from the exquisiteness of her clothing.
She looked very poised, her hair pulled back into a stylish bun. A pair of pink earrings and several rings completed her ensemble.

4. Quirky Carrie Energy: Mismatched Polka-Dot Stilettos in Black & White
While filming a scene with her And Just Like That co-star Kristin Davis, SJP was spotted sporting a black-and-white outfit.
Although the color isn’t very Carrie Bradshaw-coded, the layered styling elevates the entire ensemble. She wore what appeared to be an unflattering white long-sleeved shirt dress underneath a tight black sleeveless bodycon that cinched the whole look and emphasized her slender form.
While SJP had a stylish appearance, she was obviously overshadowed by Kristin Davis, who stood beside her in a pink-and-green floral midi dress. I must say, I like how the style team produced such a dramatic contrast between the two.

I liked that she paired the look with polka-dot pumps, which brought a playful touch to the otherwise understated ensemble and wonderfully captured Carrie Bradshaw’s preference for quirky designs.
They are mismatched, with the right shoe featuring a white pointed toe and the left having a black one. In true Carrie fashion, the pumps feature high stiletto heels.

5. Iridescent Glamour: Aquazzura Sheeva Pumps & Rhinestone Blue Dress
Walking on the HBO Max series set, Sarah Jessica teetered on a pair of metallic Aquazzura “Sheeva” pumps. They aren’t just ordinary metallic pumps; they feature shades of purple, green, and yellow with an iridescent metallic finish that is sure to draw attention.
These pumps have sharp, pointed toes, towering stiletto heels, and side cutouts, reflecting Bradshaw’s playful sense of style.

SJP looked perfectly in character as she paired the heels with a fitted blue dress encrusted with light-catching rhinestones to resemble a night sky. I love how it enveloped her figure and accentuated her beautiful proportions; the low-cut square neckline allowed her to flaunt her cleavage and lace bra.
The dress featured modest long sleeves, shoulder pads, and a knee-length hem to balance out the sultriness. Carrie wore her blonde hair down and amplified the glitz with stud earrings and a crystal-embellished purse.

6. Dreamy Romance: Aquazzura So Nude Raffia Sandals & Simone Rocha Tulle
These Aquazzura “So Nude” heels are undoubtedly one of my favorite pairs worn by Carrie Bradshaw. While other celebs like Anya Taylor-Joy, Katy Perry, and Elle Fanning have also been spotted in a similar style, SJP’s raffia rendition is stunning.
The luxury footwear label’s So Nude Raffia is one style that you’ll want to wear this summer. They’re crafted in Italy from interwoven raffia and multicolored leather, giving the classic slingback style a fun and playful twist.
They feature open toes, elasticized slingback straps, and 4.25-inch stilettos.

I love how the stylist gave SJP a chic, far-from-boring monochromatic appearance by pairing the shoes with a light beige sheer tulle dress. The exquisite number hails from Simone Rocha’s dreamy Spring 2024 collection, whose signature quirky yet ultra-feminine designs resonate with SJP’s style.
The whimsical dress has a paneled, layered semi-sheer construction with a scoop neck and a fitted bodice that gives a glimpse of her cleavage, dark green bra, and pink lacy knickers. It billows into a lovely sheer midi skirt with long-stemmed pink roses tucked between tulle layers at the sides of the hips.
While the dress is already strikingly daring, SJP paired it with a matching coat. It features the same floral appliques along the long puff sleeves and chest pockets, and comes with a drawstring hood, waist, and cuffs, adding a utilitarian touch to the romantic design. It’s daring yet whimsical, which screams Carrie Bradshaw.

7. Summer Brights: Aquazzura Tequila Crystal Mules & Playful Corduroy
Exiting Carrie Bradshaw’s posh New York City apartment, SJP donned another stunning pair of heels from Aquazzura.
She wore the “Tequila,” which is available in various shoe styles, including pumps and stiletto sandals, and has been seen on celebrities like Anya Taylor-Joy, Bella Thorne, and Nicky Hilton.
SJP’s Tequila shoes are slip-on mules in metallic leather with a strappy vamp adorned with round crystals. They have open toes and sit on 3-inch medium-high stiletto heels.

Admittedly, I’m absolutely smitten with these shoes. My desire to own them skyrocketed when I saw Sarah Jessica Parker pair them with pastel-orange corduroy pants and a lavender sweater.
The whole outfit is summery, and I like it. It’s vibrant and exciting, just like what Bradshaw would wear.

8. Pastel Fantasy: Custom Aquazzura Sheeva Pumps & Carrie’s Pussybow Look
Early in May, SJP was seen kicking off the filming of And Just Like That Season 3 in another pastel outfit that pays homage to the whimsical yet feminine style of her on-screen persona, Carrie Bradshaw.
Her outfit consisted of a loose-fitting mint green shirt with a huge pussybow that brought back memories of 1930s fashion. She looked youthful and carefree as she tucked it into a voluminous, floofy pink ruffled skirt that hung down to her knees.

Matthew Broderick’s wife wore a custom pair of Aquazzura “Sheeva” pumps in mint-green leather. I love how well they complemented the outfit’s pastel tone, adding to the whimsical feel of the look.
SJP completed the playful, feminine outfit with a rainbow crystal-encrusted purse, pearl earrings, and a lengthy pearl necklace.
