Sarah Jessica Parker Embraces TikTok's "Wrong Shoe Theory" With a Pair of Carrie-Coded Neon Pink Pumps

Sarah Jessica Parker attends the "And Just Like That…" Season Three Photocall at Hotel Napoleon on May 29, 2025 in Paris, France.

Rest in peace, Carrie Bradshaw. You would have loved the wrong shoe theory. (She's alive and well in the Sex and the City-verse, but the sentiment still stands.) The fictional character basically invented the concept, when she famously wore mismatched shoes during Episode 13 of Season 3, "Escape from New York."

Though Carrie only sported the style once, her real-life counterpart, Sarah Jessica Parker, has continued to carry the wrong-shoe baton in the decades since the show ended (the styling choice was her idea, after all). Now that Parker is back in the media circuit once more, she's tapping the TikTok-famous trick once again.
