One happy fan Sex and the city they can get their hands on a famous piece of Carrie Bradshaw’s fabulous wardrobe.
The layered tutu worn by Carrie in the show’s opening credits goes up for auction on January 11, as Julien’s Auctions plans to auction off pieces worn by stars such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Princess Diana, Whitney Houston and Kim Kardashian.
Fans of the show will remember the opening credits, which show Carrie strutting down a Manhattan street in style – only to wet herself on the bus. While the white tutu became an iconic symbol of Carrie’s funky style, the tutu almost didn’t make the cut.
In 2018 SATC said creator Darren Star Entertainment Weekly that Carrie almost wore a Marc Jacobs runway dress (originally worn by Kate Moss) in the opening credits. In the end, Star and Parker convinced the producers to stick with it.

“It was such a brilliant choice because, in a way, Carrie is dancing through her life in New York,” Star said EW.
Carrie later wore a tutu in the Sex and the city movie, when Carrie cleans out her closet with the help of Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda.
The tutu was discovered by costume designer Patricia Field, who found the piece in a five-dollar bin while shopping in New York’s Garment District.
Also up for auction is the dress Carrie wore in the Season 3 episode where she has lunch with Big’s wife Natasha. As Natasha confronts Carrie about her affair with Big, she wears a chiffon paper dress by John Galliano for Christian Dior.
