When the announcement was made in January that Sex and the City would return to the small screen, the show’s loyal army of fans inevitably began asking all sorts of questions. (That its cast and crew have remained fastidiously tight-lipped about what the series will look like has only added to the fervour.) First, of course, was how they would write out Samantha, following Kim Cattrall opting out of the reboot. Then, what exactly would the women of Sex and the City be wearing in 2021? Finally, is Mr Big still “taking a Napa” over at his Californian vineyard?
While brief insights have been teased so far—the announcement of the title of the 10-episode HBO revival as And Just Like That…; the photo shared after the cast’s first read-through at the beginning of June—let’s be real. What we’ve actually been waiting for is seeing Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte decked out in the unpredictable, and deeply individual, looks that made the show such a fashion phenomenon in the first place.

While OG costume designer Patricia Field won’t be returning for the new series (she’s currently tied up with production on Emily in Paris’s second season on the other side of the pond), she’s happily passing the torch to her protégée Molly Rogers for the Sex and the City reboot.
