Sarah Jessica Parker filming Sex and the City in 2004The third season of And Just Like That… officially started filming on location in New York City this month, and photos of Sarah Jessica Parker and the rest of the cast on set have already started popping up online. Fans of the series have been eagerly analyzing the casts' wardrobe, quickly identifying dresses by famed British designer Ossie Clark and Simone Rocha — just like they did when Sex and the City was on the air.
The original series was an undeniable hit from the start when it premiered on HBO back in 1998. But it wasn’t until around its third season that it really became a cultural juggernaut — and significantly upped its fashion game. By the time the cast reconvened to film season 4 in 2001, fans’ eagerness to see what Carrie Bradshaw would be wearing had skyrocketed, leading to tons of on-set snaps of Parker proliferating both online and in the media.
In fact, interest was so rampant during the filming of the 2008 movie that photos of Carrie in her Vivienne Westwood wedding dress and of a pregnant Charlotte (Kristin Davis) actually spoiled some of its key plot points. As a result, executive producer Michael Patrick King and co. took to staging decoy scenes for the first season of AJLT to throw inquisitive onlookers and photographers off the scent.
These days, the stars and the show’s costume department have leaned in, posting their own pics on social media while filming. As those continue to trickle out, take a look back at these candid photos from the set of Sex and the City.
