Carrie Bradshaw likes her outfits the way she likes her love life: absolutely chaotic. With the return of Sex and the City to screens via Netflix, a new spotlight has, once again, been shone on Carrie Bradshaw's outrageous closet. Many of her '90s-era outfits have stood the test of time, but when it comes to a select few, today's fans can't help but wonder: Why?
Though she had many questionable moments throughout the series (and the reboot, let's be honest), there's one Bradshaw original that holds the top spot for sartorial chaos—and Kylie Jenner just copied it.
In Season 4, Episode 15, titled “Change of a Dress,” Carrie goes wedding dress shopping with Miranda wearing a cropped pink button-up and lime green midi skirt, with a matching belt slung around her bare waist.
There's a lot to unpack with the look (the layered crop tops! the headpiece!), but Carrie's underboob belt is easily the most unhinged fashion choice she's ever made. It's that very style, however, that Kylie Jenner tapped into in her latest Instagram.
Photographed onboard a yacht at sun-down, Jenner posed Jack-and-Rose style at the bow of the ship. She wore a Venroy knit bra top in ivory and a matching linen midi skirt, accessorizing with a silver arm cuff and a belt around her exposed hips.
Though Jenner duplicated one of the most hotly-contested outfits in television history, her take was undeniably chic. The simple, all-white colorway—versus Carrie's deranged mix of pastel and print—gave the look an posh, beachy feel.
The belt placement is also a key player: while Carrie's was secured higher on her torso, Jenner's fell around her natural waist, which felt much less random. The belt itself is actually built into the skirt, a clever design detail from Acne Studios.
