The background of Carrie Bradshaw’s well-known Vivienne Westwood wedding dresses

Carrie Bradshaw broadly wore a voluminous Vivienne Westwood outfit when she was left at the special raised area in the 2008 Sex and the City film — prompting the famous scene of her running down the roads of Manhattan in said dress, while as yet gripping her marriage bundle of roses.

Presently, in the new time of And Very much Like That, Carrie has restored the popular Westwood outfit by and by — when (heads up!) she needs to track down a latest possible moment search for the Met Celebration. Normally, she chose to pull the wedding dress — and bird cap — from her storage room, this time joining it with an emotional blue-green cape, matching gloves and sling-back heels (alongside a pin pad on her wrist, in a tribute to the sewers who were madly attempting to fix her unique Met wedding dresses).

The marriage outfit was first found in the Vivienne Westwood Gold Mark’s pre-winter/winter 2007 assortment named ‘Wake Up Cavern Young lady’ and was propelled by the jewel cutting procedure,” Brigitte Stepputtis, head of couture at Vivienne Westwood, tells Vogue. “Our custom couture and wedding assortments stay dedicated to’s serious areas of strength for Vivienne that womanliness should be praised.

While in the film, Carrie broadly got the dress as a gift from Vivienne Westwood – alongside the note “Dear Carrie, I saw your photograph from the Vogue shoot. This dress has a place with you! Love, Vivienne Westwood” – the notable design second almost didn’t occur. As a matter of fact, outfit planner Patricia Field recently uncovered that she’d really believed Carrie should wear the dark Zac Posen bridesmaid dress worn by Charlotte as a “grieving dress”, mirroring the upside down nature of her relationship with Huge.

In any case, the Vivienne Westwood outfit ended up being a significant hit with fans. A mixed drink rendition of the dress (valued at £4,530) sold out on Net-A-Doorman promptly after it raising a ruckus around town — proof of the “Carrie impact” grabbing hold.

Carrie rewearing her marriage outfit in And Very much Like That demonstrates how much the dress has gone the distance — a perspective that has, obviously, long been vital to Vivienne Westwood’s ethos. “Carrie’s cutting edge update of greenish blue adornments revives the firstwedding dresses, changing the champagne marriage dress into a show ballgown that oozes elaborate greatness,” Stepputtis says.

While not every person has a Met Occasion to go to, it actually demonstrates how wedding dresses can be worn once more — whether that is through having your outfit upcycled, or maybe by coloring it. “Carrie rethinking this exceptional look addresses Vivienne’s ethos — ‘purchase less, pick well, make it last’ — and stresses the significance of taking out squander by rewearing, upcycling, sharing and restyling,” Stepputtis closes.
