Sarah Jessica Parker had to fight for the colossal “cloud hat” her character Carrie Bradshaw wore in And Just Like That… season 3 premiere.
The hat’s enormous size and style got Carrie compared to Strawberry Shortcake and became a thing on the internet.
Parker, 60, discussed the hat during a Q&A with Evan Ross Katz, hosted by Threads at il Buco al Mare in Amagansett, N.Y.
Parker reveal that she saw the hat while doing a fitting with the show’s wardrobe team.
“I personally love hats on Carrie. I love it,” the actress shared. “So the minute I saw that hat, I’m sure I said something similar to, ‘How do I get that on my head? How do we convince Michael Patrick [King] it’s necessary? And what scene can it go in that we can make a case in front of the court and we can say, ‘No, Michael Patrick, this is not going to be distracting, this is going to be great?’ “
“I loved it. I loved it,” she gushed. “So I was just like, ‘We’ve got to find a place for this.’ “
Ultimately, King agreed to feature the hat. Parker noted that she wore him down.
“His eyes have adapted to large-scale things on heads now, so he’s pretty generous about how often they can appear,” Sarah Jessica Parker said.
