Sarah Jessica Parker may be bringing back one of her most iconic looks as Carrie Bradshaw: the signature voluminous curls. At the season three premiere of And Just Like That, Parker stepped out with a hairstyle that echoed the early seasons of Sex and the City, sparking speculation about a possible curl comeback.
In the first few seasons of the original series, Carrie’s big, bouncy blonde curls became a defining part of her character. They were so iconic that it even became a storyline when she temporarily straightened her hair. Over time, though, Parker transitioned to a more relaxed style with loose, beachy waves—a look she has stuck with for years.
At the And Just Like That premiere, however, Parker wore her hair in a style that blended her current look with her character’s classic curls. Her long hair was parted deeply to the side and styled in textured, voluminous waves—more defined than her usual soft blowout, but not quite full curls.
For fans hoping to recreate the look, a three-barrel iron can help achieve those structured waves. Run your fingers through the hair afterward to add movement and body.
The premiere look isn’t the only clue that Carrie’s curls might be making a return. In June 2024, Parker shared a behind-the-scenes photo from filming, showing her hair styled in fluffy waves that closely resemble Carrie’s season three curls. Since then, she’s also lightened her hair color to a mix of wheat blonde and baby blonde tones, with a nearly platinum face-framing highlight—another nod to her early Sex and the City style.
And Just Like That season three premieres May 29, and fans won’t have to wait long to see whether Carrie’s iconic curls will make their way back onto the screen.
