[Warning: The following content contains the main spoilers for the first two episodes of And Just Like That...]

In just two 45-minute episodes, just like that...have successfully shattered our hearts. The new series is a continuation of Sex and the City and has shown the growth of Kylie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and her staff. Kelly faced her greatest grief when she was trying to explore her career in a technology-driven post-pandemic world.

Despite her high mood, the New York City icon has defined the staple food of fashionable clothing that will add luster to fashion articles in the coming years. Carrie's style rises and falls with what happens in her life, just like in the original series. From necklaces and unique hats to iconic shoes and elegant styles, Carrie expresses every point of her through her style.

Carrie has been a style icon since 1998, inspiring excessive accessories and bold footwear. Her fashionable style draws inspiration from the trend of the times, and goes further, incorporating creative and innovative details. For decades, she has occupied a place in the layout of "Vogue" and "Harper's Bazaar".

The first time we see the life of a trio in the 2020s is of course a lunch date. What would happen to the SATC franchise without Carrie, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte (Kristen Davis) at the 3pm gossip meeting about salads and French fries?

The girl friends took a quick bite at an elegant and casual Midtown restaurant and started the restart journey. Although Carrie is eager to leave to record podcasts, this energy is nostalgic. The vigor of her professional woman matches a silk suit jacket decorated with metal chrysanthemums, a feather hat, and not one, but two cross-body wallets. Although neutral on the palette, Carrie expresses her noisy but professional New York lifestyle through a confident choice of accessories.

This exciting detail work is nothing new: Carrie shook a bright blue-green turban, put on a personalized hoop of her name, eye-catching pink and orange tones on Chanel's shirt, lunch break with the girl We chatted with the original series in a stylish cafeteria-style restaurant. Carrie's clothing exudes her bustling and confident energy, which will radiate when she swaggers in the original series and the restarted streets of New York.

Just like that... Putting the clear shots of the pandemic on Carrie's new endeavor is clearly unique to Revival. When she walked down the elevator after recording the podcast, she put on diamond gloves studded with jewels before pressing the button. Even Carrie's COVID prevention measures are very fashionable. Considering the shoe series of this fashionista, we can't even imagine what her facial mask series will look like!

Discussing Carrie's accessories requires a look at her jewelry selection. We all remember her personalized Carrie necklace, which inspired many young people to look for their own cursive name necklace. Although we did not see this young work on Carrie in the revival, we did find a small gold necklace shaped like New York State. Since this necklace hangs on Carrie's chest (occasionally paired with other chains), we remember all her New York-centric antics and achievements.

Any SATC fan knows that Carrie Bradshaw and Manolo Blahnik belong to the same sentence. Gorgeous designer high heels are her treasure, and they are of great significance from her early years as an up-and-coming writer to her life with Mr. Big (Chris North) in their elegant apartment.

But in And Just Like That, the stunning royal blue Manolos is more important than ever. In Sex and the City: In the movie, Mr. Bige slips on his Cinderella-like heel, and finalizes an agreement for him and Kelly to redo their wedding. Manolos are considered "wedding shoes". In the revival of HBO Max, something forced Carrie to withdraw from Manolos, who represented her and Mr. Big's entire marriage.

Before heading to Charlotte's daughter's piano recital, Carrie went out to show off her specially selected shoes. She paired high heels with cropped wide-leg pants, an asymmetric buttoned shirt, and a cream blazer with large floral details in the same blue tone as Manolos on the shoulders. She hardly knew that this would be her last conversation with her husband.

Later, Carrie returned home and found that Mr. Bige had a heart attack. When she held her husband in her arms, Manolos slipped from her feet into the shower. Although throughout the original series, shoes have always been of great significance in Carrie Bradshaw's life, the addition of the blue wedding Manolos to Carrie's evening dress represents a lot of memories with Mr. Big, which will soon engulf Carrie and even the entire revival.

After the tragic death of Mr. Da, Carrie's dressing choice was completely changed. Her accessories have become simple, and the palette of her clothes avoids any bold or neon colors. However, when looking for a funeral home, Carrie did break the tradition of wearing black as a widow, instead wearing a white knee-length dress with subtle golden pinstripes and a light pink lightweight long trench coat. Although the palette is lighter, Carrie expresses her sadness through the lack of accessories. She carried a simple black handbag and only her New York necklace. Her hair was neatly combed into a low ponytail, revealing small earrings. The iconic Carrie accessory game was watered down as she mourned the death of her husband.

So far, Carrie's funeral attire is one of the most memorable looks in the new series. Despite the internal torment, the fashion icon still maintains elegance with classic dress styles, exquisite hats, a string of simple pearls and pearl-encrusted clutches. The skirt of this dress uses a soft paisley pattern, which complements the minimalist style of the corset. Her shoes tied the white liner of the skirt to the white clutch. Stanford (Willie Garson) even quoted Jackie Kennedy (Jackie Kennedy) for commenting on the power of the costume and Carrie's fashion style.

In the days after the funeral, Carrie's best friend stayed with her at all times to make sure she did her best. When she was lying restlessly on the bed, she was wearing a comfortable sweater and sportswear-her long teal cardigan was paired with a stylish and comfortable light gray pajama jumpsuit. She wore only her New York necklace again. When she faces the long journey of recovery with her friends, we don't know what her dress trajectory will look like.

Just like that..., Thursday, HBO Max
