In just three seasons, And Just Like That\u2026 succeeded in serving us a litany of unhinged moments, including armpit-licking<\/a>, a puppet\u2019s bulge<\/a>, and Carrie Bradshaw\u2019s gargantuan hat<\/a>. As it turns out, we can thank Sarah Jessica Parker<\/a> for the latter\u2019s obstructive debut. During a Q&A with Evan Ross Katz at il Buco al Mare in Amagansett on August 11, SJP revealed that it had been her grand idea to plop that ludicrously capacious hat upon Carrie Bradshaw\u2019s head.<\/p>\n \u201cI personally love hats on Carrie. I love it,\u201d SJP said, according to People<\/a>. \u201cSo the minute I saw that hat, I\u2019m sure I said something similar to, how do I get that on my head? How do we convince Michael Patrick [King] it\u2019s necessary? And what scene can it go in that we can make a case in front of the court and we can say, \u2018No, Michael Patrick, this is not going to be distracting, this is going to be great?\u2019\u201d While it was great, it was also distracting \u2014 did Carrie really need to have a monstrous swath of gingham on her head while eating sherbert in Washington Square Park?<\/p>\n Back in June, SJP told USA Today<\/a> that eventually, she wore King down about Carrie\u2019s affinity for hats. \u201cHis eyes have adapted to large-scale things on heads now, so he\u2019s pretty generous about how often they can appear,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n SJP noted that the hat, designed by Maryam Keyhani<\/a>, was \u201cmassive and shapeless\u201d and that its fabric \u2014 linen \u2014 is \u201can enemy of shape and form,\u201d which contributed to the hat\u2019s excessive floppiness and whimsical aura. Michael Patrick King even likened it to \u201cthe Hindenburg balloon,\u201d according to Glamour<\/a>, although he concluded that \u201cit is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n Although we said goodbye to Carrie in AJLT form, if the Sex and the City gods ever bless us with another unhinged reboot maybe we\u2019ll get another ridiculously enormous hat. One can only hope.<\/p>\n Stay in touch.<\/p>\n Get the Cut newsletter delivered daily<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
