First there were the rumours about Mr Big (Carrie appears to be wearing a bracelet with the initials CBP - Carrie Bradshaw Preston, presumably - but leaked script circulated a few weeks ago suggests that their marriage might be either over or on the rocks.) Now, SATC__ conspiracy theorists have sunk their teeth into another mystery related to And Just Like That: is that paisley maxi dress from Forever21? Or isn't it?!
If you have no idea what we're talking about, here's a quick refresher. When SJP was spotted filming on July 27, the internet, as it does, was quick to try and pin-point what she was wearing. And when it came to the maxi dress, most outlets settled on - shock, horror! - the high street chain Forever 21. Carrie, as we know, is a fan of pairing a $10 vintage dress with $500 designer heels, but Forever 21? That's about as on-brand as the beat-up plimsolls she had to wear home when her shoes - Manolo Blahnik's crystal-embellished silver mules - got stolen at a children's party.
But then the plot thickens. @andjustlikethat, the fan account that is widely regarded as the most reliable source when it comes to the show's outfits, has stated that it's thrifted. And if that wasn't confusing enough, other fashion websites have started to report that the dress is actually from Raga, an LA-based brand that has posted a picture of SJP, wearing its Avah Ruffle Strap Maxi Dress, on Instagram. (The dress is $145 but has now sold out.)
It looks like it might be an open and shut case of the internet getting it wrong (then right) where this dress is unconcerned. Mr Big, on the other hand? That mystery will have to remain unsolved until the show airs...
SHOP: The Outfits From And Just Like That
Carrie dressed up a swishing floral maxi dress with this sequinned bag from Paco Rabanne. The exact style is sold out, but the brand has plenty more options when it comes to disco-ready accessories.
Sporting another Fendi Baguette, this time the dinkier Nano.
A surprising outfit for girly-girl Charlotte, but we love these clean-cut overalls.
Batsheva's pink-and-white housedress is a lot nicer than what we wear to do the washing up.
Lisa is earning a reputation as the group's boldest dresser, pairing this puff-sleeved fuchsia jacket with some sunflower shorts from Max Mara. For a winter alternative, try this leather pair from COS.
Carrie's tutu is back in business. OK, it's not the same pink style she wore in the original show's opening credits, but this long swooshing number is still fetching.
Charlotte looks sunny side up, despite the grey skies, in this egg yolk yellow skirt and matching pumps.
Seema Patel, played by Sarita Choudhury, appeared for the first time on set wearing this criss-cross jumpsuit from Ralph Lauren.
We love this combination on Carrie; a fabulous blue-and-orange dress (vintage), a modern-day boater (Rodney Patterson) and towering platform sandals.
Is that socks and sandals we see on Carrie?! Her hip surgery in episode five explains the choice of footwear, but it's still a first from our stiletto-loving heroine.
Charlotte does modern power dressing in this nipped-waist tweed dress in powder pink from St John.
The last time she wore a 'bird' on her head, Carrie was marrying Mr Big (/hitting him with a bouquet of roses when he left her at the altar). If you've seen the first episode, you'll know that this meeting is something of a head-scratcher...The outfit however is 10/10. (The polka dot skirt is Carolina Herrera; the hand-painted bag is by artist Rebecca Moses.)
Carrie's flowing maxi dress (an usually bohemian choice it must be said) caused much confusion when some sources said it was vintage and others that it was Forever21.
For her confrontation with Carrie, Bridget Moynahan was styled in a polished shirt dress from luxury sustainable label Gabriela Hearst.
For a scene filmed outside the Lyceum Theatre, Kristin Davis looked exceptionally 'Charlotte', wearing a flower-embroidered cocktail dress from Lela Rose, a powder blue handbag from Louis Vuitton, and a watch from Cartier.
In the best revival yet, SJP was spotted wearing those peacock blue pumps - Manolo Blahnik's Hangisi - that she last wore for her low-key wedding to Mr Big.
As well as digging out her beloved Fendi Baguette, SJP's also resurrected this studded belt from Streets Ahead. As eagle-eyed fans will remember, the eye-catching accessory made its debut in the first movie, cinching the waist of the rose-printed dress that she wears to go apartment-hunting.
For a cafe catch-up, Charlotte ventures into the world of print with a white sundress patterned with blue sailboats from Emilia Wickstead.
This is the second pair of wedge sandals spotted on Miranda - proof, if you needed it, that they've come a long way since being the type of shoe your old headmistress would wear in summer.
Miranda's berry red jumpsuit scores a perfect 10 in our book and is from homegrown label Likely NYC.
Saint Laurent's Farrah platforms prove that our heroine hasn't lost her love of heels (or serious height).
LTW is the show's new ambassador for power necklaces (this one is from Monies).
Charlotte was seen in princess pink dialled to its punchiest max in this blouse, a $154 number from Gosilk.
Carrie was always game for a fancy hat - her fascinator once caused a fight between her Berger, remember? - and this jaunty straw style is no exception.
We shudder at the thought of the costume department's shoe wardrobe (it must be similar to when our heroine found herself let loose in the cupboard at Vogue), and love these patent and super stacked Mary-Janes. The necklace has become a new signature of Carrie's, and is from Fry Powers.
