Do you think Sarah Jessica Parker knew we'd still be talking about a little show called Sex and the City 20 years later? Well, here we are anyway. While I was browsing through old outfits from the show this week, one look stuck out to me: her mixed-print coat–and-skirt outfit from 2002.
The cute starfish pattern on Bradshaw's coat immediately looked familiar—I've been seeing Rixo's starfish dress all over Instagram, and it's convincing me I need to try the trend ASAP. Care to join? Scroll down to see how Carrie Bradshaw started the trend, and see the 2018 version I think she'd buy this summer. It's time to give your go-to florals a break, after all.
