Peep-Toe Mules

Wrong shoe theory enthusiasts, rejoice: This peep-toe look is quintessentially Carrie in its mismatched approach. While her exact Isaac Mizrahi mules aren’t on the market anymore, there are lots of fiery red options available to capture her carefree, chaotic look.

Channel the iconic New Yorker by pairing the summery shoes with athletic shorts and a cropped blouse, or opt for a bohemian maxi skirt or Bermudas for an of-the-moment ensemble. No matter which silhouette you choose, a delicate gold anklet adds an on-trend touch of sparkle.

Funky Metallic Sandals

Summer is all about embracing the most maximalist, fun, and unexpected styles—and Carrie’s penchant for metallic shoes fits the bill. As for other iconic moments, metallic gold heels also made an appearance during the infamous season three fall in the Central Park duck pond.

Considering recent trend cycles, we’d also be willing to bet you’ve already got a pair of silver flats in your closet. Whether you bring those back out or try one of the below heeled styles, the Carrie way of styling them would be with a maximalist outfit featuring a dress in one of summer’s top trending colors.

Vivid Heels

In And Just Like That…, Carrie may be a couple of decades older, but she still has the same maximalist sense of style (and penchant for shoes) we know and love. Sunny yellow pumps take center stage in this outfit, which she gives a bohemian twist by pairing them with a gradient sundress. The choice highlights that bold footwear is more wearable than many of us think, often fitting right into a day-to-night summer office outfit.

Classic Chic Pumps

Who could forget the fateful moment that Carrie first bumped into Mr. Big? In the series’ pilot, Carrie donned an asymmetrical midi dress and paired it with classy black pumps.

While the scene may have been chaotic, the outfit is one worth feeling confident about if you happen to meet your next love that day (even if that’s on an intentional first date). For a modern update, try a sculptural wedge heel with that same ankle strap.

Strappy Kitten Heel Sandals

Playful, carefree sandals are a Sex and the City summertime staple—and the kitten heel styles Carrie favors are experiencing a resurgence. Consider investing in a pair of poised cream-colored Manolos, or a strappy block-heeled silhouette.

Out of all the shoes in Carrie’s wardrobe (and, notoriously, her oven), this pair is one of the most versatile. Use the style to ground a mixed-pattern ensemble in effortless elegance, or pair it with a monochromatic outfit for a more minimal moment.

Boldly Patterned Slides

An expert at dopamine dressing, our New York icon isn’t afraid of a more-is-more look, and this pairing of a graphic sweatshirt, a shiny plaid midi skirt, and the all-important chromatic slide sandals feels perfectly on-brand. When it comes to your style, any vivid pattern in a chic silhouette is Carrie-approved, be it alongside other statement pieces or for jazzing up a more minimalist look.

Twisted Neutral Sandals

Love them or leave them, Carrie simply cannot resist a simple pair of neutral sandals. It’s a simple way to round out a casual outfit, let the outfit shine, and visually elongate the legs. (In this scene, neutral heels let her fitted mini dress truly take center stage.)

If Sex and the City was set in 2025, we imagine she’d be a fan of the mesh flat trend, too—and who knows? Maybe we’ll see her rock the buzz-worthy shoe on And Just Like That… one day.

Modern Gladiators

Gladiator sandals are giving us modern nostalgia as a resurgent shoe trend this summer, and Carrie was ahead of the curve when she wore this black pair in And Just Like That… season one. Never one to keep it simple, she styled the footwear with a patterned button-down dress and an eye-catching fringe crossbody tote, showing us all why she’s the definition of main character energy.
