Carrie Bradshaw helped popularize balletcore when she sported a feminine pink and white tulle-skirted dress in the opening credits of “Sex and the City.”
Bradshaw’s love for the Fendi Baguette bag in the popular show boosted its fame. Fendi’s decision to loan the bag paved the way for other designers to follow suit.
This allowed Carrie to showcase a coveted designer wardrobe in subsequent episodes. Over time, there have been more than 700 variations of the Fendi Baguette bag.
Carrie Bradshaw popularized the trend of pairing sophisticated dresses with sensational wide belts, like her pink dress and a studded black belt pictured above.
Vests are a trendy style for summer 2023, with roots dating back to a throwback look worn by Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and the City: The Movie" in 2007.
Fashion stylist Tali Kogan says there are multiple ways to style a vest, from casual to career wear and beyond. Layer your vest, then pair it with heels and a tie, as Bradshaw did.
The dress was later sold at an auction for €15,300, inspiring numerous knockoffs from fast fashion brands for fans who couldn't afford the original John Galliano piece.
