Oh, Carrie Bradshaw!
As the (fictional!) Vogue freelance writer who made Manolo Blahniks, “naked” dresses, and rivers of cosmopolitans an essential part of late Nineties/early Aughts style blazes back our screens, we are once again OBSESSED with all things SATC.
“It is hard to overestimate the iconicity of Sex and the City,” Naomi Fry writes in Vogue’s December issue, which features a tulle-clad SJP on the cover. “For a generation of women, the show almost single-handedly defined, in ways both poignant and comedic, distressing and dazzling, what it means to navigate the challenges and triumphs of friendship, love, and career, through the interlocking stories of four best friends in turn-of-the-millennium NYC.”
We were also here for the talking point *FASHION* (not to mention the surprise guest stars––s/o Alanis Morissette, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jon Bon Jovi, and Bradley Cooper!). You know the drill: Carrie’s title-sequence tutu––sourced by costume designer Patricia Field from a showroom bin and purchased for $5–; the Christian Dior autumn/winter 2000 newspaper dress (brainchild of John Galliano) that made an appearance in episode 17 of season 3, and that bodycon LBD (OK, it’s actually dark gray) seen in episode 15 of season 2.
So—in celebration of the SATC reboot, we’re taking Vogue Club members inside the cover with a special installment of Office Hours.
Our lineup: Stylist Tabitha Simmons will debrief you on what it was like to create SJP’s show-stopping December Vogue cover look, and International Editor at Large Hamish Bowles will spill the beans on the reactions inside the Vogue office during the late 1990s, when the SATC phenomenon first began. We’ll also be hearing from Vogue France’s Alexandre Marain––our resident superfan!

We’ll leave you with a pearl of Carrie wisdom which feels particularly fitting for the holiday season: “I will never be the woman with the perfect hair,” she said, “who can wear white and not spill on it.”
SEE YOU ON THURSDAY!
