Inside the Glamorous World of “And Just Like That…” Costume Design
The latest behind-the-scenes video from Max offers a rare glimpse into the artistry and collaboration behind Episode 5’s standout wardrobe moments.
A new video titled Behind The Look Of Episode 5 | And Just Like That… | Max pulls back the curtain on the styling decisions that shape the beloved characters of the Sex and the City spin-off. Released on June 30, 2025, the featurette highlights the work of co-costume designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago as they orchestrate fashion moments that are as integral to the story as the dialogue.
Costume fittings are no ordinary affair on And Just Like That…. The team often juggles outfits for two episodes at once, with each fitting involving roughly 30 meticulously styled looks. According to the designers, the process is immersive, collaborative, and deeply character-driven, from sourcing vintage gems to tailoring modern reinterpretations.
The video dives into specific pieces featured in Episode 5, such as a reinvented Brooks Brothers red gingham shirt worn by Charlotte, Sema’s Bianca Jagger-inspired yoga outfit, and Carrie’s eclectic shoe montage. Fans get an inside look at how each item, like a sleepover jumpsuit or a glamping sun visor, helps define the scene and the personality behind it.
Carrie Bradshaw’s wardrobe remains a pillar of the show’s cultural appeal. The designers continue to blend new finds with archived favorites, including Manolo Blahniks, Vivienne Westwood classics, and one polarizing accessory: the oversized gingham Maryam Keyhani hat. Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays Carrie, is heavily involved in selecting and even preserving iconic pieces from the series.
The team also embraces sustainability, reflecting modern fashion values. Vintage and vintage-inspired items frequently appear in Carrie’s ensembles, adding authenticity and nodding to the character’s evolving sense of self. From a Simone Rocha rose tulle dress to a Missoni crochet number, each outfit is layered with meaning and history.
Rogers and Santiago’s choices go far beyond trends, they shape the narrative itself. Whether it’s Lisa Todd Wexley’s standout sun visor or a subtle nod to Vivienne Westwood in a Soho scene, every stitch contributes to the emotional and visual arc of the episode. Their devotion to detail continues the legacy set by Patricia Field, the original series’ legendary stylist.
The creative force behind And Just Like That… is unmistakable, and this behind-the-scenes look cements why its fashion continues to spark discussion, admiration, and imitation. As Season 3 streams on Max, fans can expect more fashion-forward storytelling grounded in character and craft.
