In the early seasons of Sex and the City, Sarah Jessica Parker’s portrayal of Carrie Bradshaw was closely tied to her big, blonde curls. The hairstyle became so iconic that it even sparked a storyline when Carrie briefly straightened her hair. But as the series continued, those signature curls faded, replaced by Parker’s now-familiar beachy waves.
At the season three premiere of And Just Like That, fans caught a glimpse of the classic Carrie look making a possible return. Parker walked the red carpet with her hair styled in voluminous, defined waves—more textured and dramatic than her usual soft blowout. Deeply parted and full of body, the look wasn’t full curls, but it was the closest she’s come in years.
This hairstyle choice has sparked speculation. Could the curls be making a comeback in the new season? Parker may have hinted at it earlier. In a photo she shared during filming last June, her waves looked especially fluffy—reminiscent of Carrie’s season three style.
She’s also lightened her hair recently, wearing a bright mix of wheat blonde and baby blonde tones, accented by a nearly platinum money-piece highlight. The color and texture both suggest a subtle return to early Bradshaw glam.
And Just Like That season three premieres May 29, giving fans a chance to see not just where the story goes, but whether those beloved curls truly return.
