As usual, Sarah Jessica Parker ensured Carrie Bradshaw burned bright within her fashion sense as she stepped out on Thursday.
The Sex And The City frontwoman, 58, attended the New York City Ballet’s 2023 Fall Gala alongside her husband Matthew Broderick, where she wore a ballerina-inspired ensemble with a statement bow in her long blonde hair.
While the black dress and stunning ensemble was certainly head-turning, attention was drawn to Sarah’s feet as she opted to wear mismatched shoes comprising one pink-hued mule and a contrasting black number with jewelled brooches.
The purposely mismatched pair are a not-so-subtle homage to a fun footwear moment from SATC as fans first saw the actress rock contrasting shoes while playing Carrie on the HBO hit show, which ran from 1998 to 2004.
In Escape From New York episode, which originally aired in season three, episode 13 in September 2000, Carrie steps out wearing a hot pink sandal and a blue sandal both by Christian Louboutin for a night out with the girls.

Sarah Jessica later took to Instagram to explain the unlikely pairing: ‘I’m sure approved by the great and legendary @patriciafield we had 2 pairs of what I believe are @louboutinworld scrappy sandal…
‘Pat and I chose to do 1 of each. Perhaps because both were so delicious in color and seemed in harmony with the dress but also because we loved doing 1 of each.’
In 2019, she went for the look again when she was seen stepping out in two different-colored heels at the same Annual New York City Ballet Fall Fashion Gala. The shoes came from her eponymous shoe line.

Doubling down, she said: ‘I know those gals! Sarah Jessica [Parker] thinks she knows everything – and she does…
‘Cynthia Nixon thinks she knows everything – and she doesn’t! Even today, when I speak with Molly, it’s about Cynthia. I say, “I remember what you are going through.”
For her work on Sex And The City, Patricia was nominated for five Emmy Awards, win one win and six Costume Designers Guild Awards, with four wins.
She went on to return as costume designer for the Sex And The City movie (2008) and the sequel (2010), however she was unable to reprise her role for the reboot due to her Emily In Paris commitments.
