Carrie Bradshaw is Back! How to Get Her Iconic Style Today

by

Tonight is the big premiere of The Carrie Diaries, the CW show that aims to tell the back story of New York’s favorite fictional sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw as young girl who apparently grew up in the Connecticut ‘burbs. With Gossip Girl star stylist Eric Daman on board to provide the beginnings of Carrie’s theatrical, over-the-top style, we have high hopes for the 80s-inspired clothing that young Carrie as played by AnnaSophia Robb will wear.

But as on-point as we’re sure the new show’s wardrobe will be, we’re having a hard time envisioning us trying to cop a 1980s teenager’s style–even if she is Carrie Bradshaw. So we thought we’d reminisce about the amazing outfits of OG CB, played to iconic perfection by Sarah Jessica Parker–and recreate them for all you modern-day Carries out there. Let’s be honest: Sex and the City might have been a story about a woman and her soul mates (and the men along the way), but her closet definitely deserved top billing.

From being mugged for her Manolos to passing out at the opera, here are our top ten Carrie Bradshaw style moments, and where to get ‘em for yourself. Don’t forget to check out The Carrie Diaries tonight on the CW (if you’re not too busy watching The Bachelor, which is sadly airing in the same time slot. Damn you, basic cable!).

Editor’s Pick: Nora’s Sex and the City Marabou Shoes

Let me start by saying that the fact that ASOS has dubbed these shoes ‘Hurricane’ is an absolute and total coincidence to the timing of my purchase! The truth is, I’ve had my eyes on these fuzzy sandals for quite a while now–but maybe all that extra time cooped up at home in Brooklyn was the extra little push I needed to grab my plastic and get ‘ta clickin’.

So what exactly was it that drew me in to these babes? Ok, so it’s a bit cliched–but here goes: Carrie Bradshaw.

AnnaSophia Robb on Filling Carrie Bradshaw’s Manolos in ‘The Carrie Diaries’

by

FLORENCE–Last night Ferragamo celebrated the opening of a new exhibition devoted to all things Marilyn Monroe at the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo in Florence. Ferragamo’s exhibit comes at the tail end of a resurgence of interest in all things Marilyn kicked off by My Week With Marilyn and buoyed by the release of never before seen photos. This latest manifestation of Marilyn will surely keep interest piqued. Ferragamo got his start in Hollywood as a shoe designer to the stars, Marilyn being one of them, so the photos, costumes, shoes, and artifacts on display (like a custom order for Monroe’s shoes, or her appointment book) are impressive. But more on that later.

Ferragamo got his start with the stars so it was fitting that the brand wrangled a few for last night’s opening. The label has cleverly taken an interest in AnnaSophia Robb, aka young Carrie Bradshaw. Nineteen-year-old Robb is no stranger to the spotlight–she’s been acting for years–but she’s never been in the fashion spotlight before. And she’s about to be in a big way, as The Carrie Diaries has been picked up by the CW with Gossip Girl‘s Eric Daman doing the costumes. We chatted with the starlet about how it feels to be filling those big Manolos.
