Carrie Bradshaw wears fall’s hottest color with a Midwestern Mom skirt

Of course, Carrie Bradshaw just had to style one of fall’s hottest colors in the most unexpected way possible. Today, Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie was spotted filming the upcoming third season of And like… Her choice of outfit? A denim prairie skirt that looked like it belonged in a 2000s mall, a strand of ladylike pearls and an oversized burgundy clutch.

For someone who has long preferred to wear micro-mini Fendi baguettes on her shoulder, Carrie’s deep red accessory (straight from Coach’s Spring 2025 runway) certainly stood out from her usual choices. Perhaps her chops as a fashion columnist led her to this specific color—it’s been worn by everyone from Rihanna to Zendaya in the past week alone. But instead of pairing her clutch with something sleek like Rih and Zendaya, Carrie opted to go full Midwestern mom with the rest of her outfit.

Carrie slipped into an ankle-length denim skirt that was completely unbuttoned, which she styled with a tweed suit and what appeared to be another long skirt layered underneath. A large navy scarf protected the actress from the brisk October weather, while her pearl necklace brought an elevated touch to things. In a vintage Carrie move, she completed her look with neon orange heels and lace knit stockings.

In a twisted, high-fashion way, Carrie’s latest outfit—mainly the decent cut and muted color palette—felt like “Christian Girl Autumn” meme come to life. Which is pretty ironic since Carrie has already tried another style of vintage-inspired fall fashion while filming SATC reboot.

Carrie spotted her cold-weather wardrobe during another day of production earlier this month. She paired an 80s-inspired Ulla Johnson skirt with a neon blue knit top trimmed with party sequins along the cuffs. Twist? Carrie paired her top with matching stockings.

For fans of OMG…the show’s appeal is as much about the debauched activities of Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte as it is about the offbeat and head-scratching outfits they wear. Season three has no premiere date (still) — so for now, we’ll have to make do with Carrie’s behind-the-scenes photos.
