It’s only episode two, and I’m already tired, folks. In so little time we’ve endured: nut-busting, finger-fucking, “hey, sexy — oops you’re my old babysitter, guess I’ll just sleep with a nun” secondhand embarrassment. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to hit “pause” just to breathe, put my face in my hands, and contemplate what I’m doing and how I got here. But the show must go on.
Anyway, is it just me, or are they putting these characters in more outfits every episode? Every scene practically gets a new wardrobe. As soon as I get to know a skirt or blouse or gargantuan bauble necklace, it gets ripped from my hands, and I’m forced to reconcile with an entirely new look. Sigh. Let’s see who’s doing the most with their outfits on season three’s second episode of And Just Like That ….
Carrie
We need to discuss Carrie’s inability to wear flat shoes in the home. I understand that was her thing in Sex and the City — Manolos everywhere — but at home? I just know her podiatrist must be on speed dial. And, pardon me for saying this, but on the subject of Carrie’s writing: I have no idea how those words ended up affording her that house. Beautiful gowns, though, beautiful gowns. But in all seriousness, this episode has some of Carrie’s best looks of the reboot. I’m loving her little bucolic, frilly white dress, the silky jammies she wears at her perfect breakfast nook, the orange frock she puts on for brunch when we finally get a peek at Carrie’s signature curls. I’m at peace.
P.S. I’m not going to further acknowledge the denim-diaper situation she wore to lunch with Miranda.
P.P.S. Who on the production team curated Carrie’s frequently used emoji? The robot alien? The hyacinth? The elven princess? She would be a purple-heart girl …
Lisette
They put Carrie’s Gen-Z counterpart in what they think a 20-something would wear — sequined low-waisted shorts, some shredded crop top, and feathered heels? And they made her give Carrie an ugly necklace to boot 🙁 The girls at Parsons would’ve eaten her up for that little school project and outfit alike, which looks both too new and too impractical.

Miranda
Oh my God, they’ve enrolled our girl in clown school. Whoever put this human-rights lawyer in a button-up vest and a four-pattern, Bobo the Clown blouse, I need you to come forward. I just wanna talk. Miranda is already juggling like four to five inappropriate love affairs (age gap/nun gap) at once. That’s enough clownery.
Lisa Todd Wexley
Netflix is rebooting a live-action Scooby-Doo series soon and if it hasn’t found a Daphne or Velma yet, it needn’t look any further than Lisa Todd Wexley. When she emerged from her kids’ school in that “Jinkies!” ass dress, all I could think was “Ruh-roh!” (complimentary). She pulls it off! With a face card like that, it’s almost impossible to look wrong. Like, she even looks good in those leather culottes and harlequin sunglasses she wore to stalk that one “fingering” lady who was subsequently racist to her child …
Charlotte
Miss Upper East Side Chanel tweed is going full vacation mode in her tropical button-up and pastel-pink skirt paired with a now-Char staple, that biiiiiig, chunky statement belt.
Seema
As usual, Seema looks hot as hell in her leather Dior dress, and I need her to say NO to the Sydney Cherkov (more like jerkoff, which I wrote down in my notes here before Seema said it on the show btw) way!!! Pastels?!?! For a woman as hot and powerful as Seema?! STOP TRYING TO MINIMIZE OUR QUEEN! ANIMAL PRINTS ARE A NEUTRAL!
Principal Greg
The bulletproof vest???? The school-shooting joke??? I’m sitting with this … Additionally, why is this diva the best actor in the ensemble?
Jump scare of the week
Adam Gardens (Carrie’s landscape architect) is so insufferable. He’s Aidan 2.0 but with the vocabulary of a bag of fortune cookies. “What is meant to be has the space to show up.” GIVE ME A BREAK! The shirt he was wearing was cool, though. I’ll give him that.
