Sex and the City movie provides second sighting of weird, marshmallow wraps that are taking over the world…
Yesterday it was Lucy Liu, today it seems Sarah Jessica Parker has become the latest victim of the strange, puffy wraps which have been preying on innocent celebrities across the land. While Lucy Liu’s pink wrap looked like a giant sea creature, though, Allie is Wired points out that this one looks more like a massive scrunchie, and you know what – she’s right! Allie is also right when she imagines The Fashion Police circling SJP like bloodhounds for this outfit, but we’re not going to arrest her for it because:
a) It’s Carrie. This sort of behaviour is expected.
b) There’s more to this than meets the eye, we think. Where are the giant puffy wraps coming from? Patricia Field is stylist for both Sex and the City, and Lucy Liu’s Cashmere Mafia. Is she the Master of Marshmallows? And can we expect to see more of them unleashed across the city, if so?
Those two points aside, though, we’re actually feeling ambivalent about the Puffy Wraps. We realise they seem like the sort of thing we should hate, but we just …don’t, somehow. Maybe it’s something to do with the sheer drama of them, who knows. We will be watching this situation develop with interest, though.
Can these things double a floatation device?
The rest of her outfit reminds me of Cher from “Clueless”. The wraps leave me clueless as well.
i don’t know what to think of these. but i know i love that purse!
don’t care about the dress but…
fab shoes!!! what are those?
Oh my God, do you remember that episode when she was dating that author Jack Berger and she reads his novel and then they have a big fight after she’s all, ‘I can’t believe you have this girl running around town in a SCRUNCHIE. No self-respecting New York girl would ever go out in a SCRUNCHIE.’
Touché, Berger.
i think the “marshmallow wrap” is from Zac Posen
i luv that collection – fairylike, romantic, imaginative ‘n beautiful
following every detail of the runway/catalogue look may be boring sometimes
but at least u’ll never go TOO wrong
it can save u, SJP this time, from fashion crime
Hahaha a massive scrunchy indeed!
I love the shoes too!
