The dress only appeared in one episode of one episode of «Sex and the City», but made a splash
The creators of the sequel series «And just like that» continue to quote outfits from the original series and films «Sex and the City». And this time, one of the most impressive and expensive outfits of the original series, a chic dress from Versace for 80 thousand dollars, received attention.
In the teaser of the next series, Carrie Bradshaw demonstrates the outfit to his new friend and realtor Sima Patel with the words: «Do you want to see something amazing?».
And this is an outfit and the truth became one of the most amazing in the original series. This is where Carrie is waiting for her Russian lover Alexander Petrovsky in a Paris hotel room.
They are supposed to go to a romantic dinner, but he is hopelessly late. However, when he returns, the episode ends with sex, but it becomes clear to the viewers that nothing good will come of this connection.
The dress appeared in the 19th episode of the sixth and final season. It was sewn from several layers of taffeta, decorated with sequins and fabric rosettes. Series writer Michael Patrick King recalled that he was against the appearance of the dress in the series, because he did not understand how Carrie could bring it from New York in her luggage. But the legendary Patricia Field, the show's costume designer, insisted. She stated that he just had to accept the fact that the dress would appear in the episode because «it's Versace after all!» and in the series, fashion is more important than reality.
At the time of filming, the dress cost 80 thousand dollars, and became the most expensive serial outfit. After all, usually Patricia managed vintage outfits and picked up dresses for the heroines much cheaper. This happened with the tutu skirt from the credits. She was bought for five dollars in a second-hand store.
The combination of a luxurious outfit in which Carrie, tired of waiting, falls asleep on a fabulously beautiful bed, and the drama of the moment when her lover still does not come, gave the episode the right mood.< /p>
But, judging by the teaser «And just like that», Petrovsky didn't remember the dress. It returned with its owner to New York and took pride of place in her wardrobe.
