The Wedding Dress and a subtle dig: All the 'And Just Like That' fashion so far.

The girls are officially back together.

Last month, photos emerged of Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis - in character and dressed as Carrie and Charlotte - filming the second season of the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That... in New York City.

And all anyone can talk about is what they're wearing, obvs.

Much like the original series, fashion is just as integral as the plotline in AJLT, and these new images prove it.

From an $890 pigeon bag to hectic headpieces, here are all the outfits from season two so far.

THE dress.

In the latest photos from filming, SJP is pictured leaving her trailer wearing The Wedding Dress. 

Yep, the iconic Vivienne Westwood bridal gown from the first Sex and the City film, with the same teal bird fascinator.

Fans will remember Carrie's plans to marry Big at the New York Public Library - but the groom got cold feet and left her humiliated at the alter, wearing the now-iconic dress.

We can't help but wonder what she's doing in it again...

A controversial hat.

The show's costume designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago have definitely upped the ante this season.

In another recent shot from set, SJP wears an oversized straw hat, white lace jumpsuit and platform heels. 

The photo is captioned: "Redemption! The Paris events did not stay in Paris."

For some context: Carrie was supposed to wear the hat during last season's series finale. However, showrunner Michael Patrick King shut down the idea of using it in multiple scenes.

He told the actress the hat could only be used for one scene as it shielded her face on camera, causing tension between them.

"The idea that I had to take that hat off her was really uncomfortable. It was bad," King later said.

As for the jumpsuit? It's vintage. Formerly a 1980s Victorian wedding dress, it was given a stylish overhaul by sustainable fashion activist Kate McGuire, who runs the Instagram account Converted Closet.

In an Instagram reel, McGuire shared footage of herself on set while SJP was filming in the garment, sharing its unique backstory.

We love a sustainable fashion moment.

Layers upon layers.

Carrie has always been one to experiment with different colours and textures, and this next outfit is no exception.

Rogers and Santiago have dressed her in a patterned Marrakshi Life oversized shirt, Vivian Westwood check coat, teal boots, a crossbody bag and a hat.

Can't imagine all that working? Oh, it does.

Hectic headpieces.

The character of Lisa Todd Wexley, played by Nicole Ari Parker, brought her fashion A-game last season, and it looks like she'll do it again.

In the first photo released of her on set, Parker's wearing a custom Maison Valentino gown made for the show by the brand's creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli, and matching headpiece from the F/W 2023 collection.

From what we can only assume is from the same episode, Charlotte has also dressed up.

In more photos from filming, she's wearing a pink blazer, bondage-style bustier, a striped skirt with a bustle and a Stephen Jones hat from the archives.

Fabulous.

The pigeon bag.

Just when we thought Carrie couldn't get any more creative with her accessories, she's proven us wrong.

In the first photos released from filming, she's carrying a pigeon as a purse. An $890 USD pigeon purse, to be specific.

The clutch, by British designer JW Anderson, looks like exactly like the common grey bird but is made from 3D printed resin and opens via its wing.

It's also an Easter egg for fans of the show.

Birds are a common theme throughout Carrie and Big's love story - in the second season of the original series, her late husband buys her a jewel-encrusted, swan-shaped Judith Leiber clutch (which she hates, but that's beside the point). 

Carrie also wears a bird fascinator at their first wedding, and during the first season of AJLT.

The quirky accessories don't stop there. 

With the same outfit (which we discuss in detail below), she wears grey long socks, Dior snakeskin studded heels (which you may remember Carrie also wore in the first SATC movie) and a tiny Fendi bag as an anklet.

It's boilersuit season.

To bring the outfit back down to earth, Carrie pairs her bird clutch and bag anklet with a boilersuit - another sustainable find by 'refashion designer' Kate McGuire.

According to a post on her Instagram account Converted Closet, McGuire found the original 1960s flight suit on eBay and refurbished it, adding fabric to the back.

McGuire also collaborated on the post with a new account, called Converted Carrie, suggesting there will be more eco-friendly fashion this season.

Walking the streets with Carrie was Charlotte, wearing a black pencil skirt, sheer black button-up shirt and a bright pink bow around her neck in true Charlotte style.

But in a new photo posted on the Instagram page of the program's costume design team, she's pictured in a dressing room fitting looking more casual - wearing her own olive green boilersuit and New Balance sneakers.

“ANY GUESSES where Charlotte could be wearing this?”, the caption read.

Full-on fuschia.

ICYMI, hot pink is having a moment. 

From 'Barbiecore' to Valentino's entirely pink autumn-winter collection, head-to-toe looks are all over the runaway, on the red carpets, and now coming to TV.

In another photo from the AJLT set, SJP wears a full monochrome fuschia outfit, the caption noting that it's the "first time ever in all one colour" for the character.

Styled by Rogers, the look features a vintage paisley dress, matching belt, vintage purse and metallic slingbacks. 

She also adds a hint of purple and blue wearing two Jemma Wynne necklaces.
