The theme of last night’s event was punk–though you wouldn’t necessarily know it from the red carpet. Though some of the guests did step up the ‘tude a notch–some with spikes, others with hair dye–the majority kept it pretty, well, pretty. Let’s take a look at who was brave enough to go punk, and who Read more →
It’s here! It’s here! The Met Ball red carpet is finally underway. So the fashion is great–though not exactly punk.

In our minds, Sarah Jessica Parker will always be Carrie Bradshaw. We just haven’t figured out how to separate the two in our brains.
Even The Edit‘s Jennifer Dickinson seems to have some trouble differentiating, drawing numerous comparisons between the two throughout the actress’s cover story for Net-a-Porter’s magazine, asking her about the scope of her wardrobe, her penchant for high heels, HBO’s modern day SATC, Girls, and, of course, The Carrie Diaries.
Jennifer Lawrence survived every actress’s worst nightmare last night when she fell in her Dior couture gown on the way to accept her Best Actress Oscar. (Those Dior gowns are tricky!)

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!).
