Kristin Davis recently opened up about a wardrobe dispute from the set of Sex and the City, revealing that Sarah Jessica Parker is “still mad” about the beige bridesmaid dress she wore during Charlotte’s wedding in Season 3. Davis made these comments during an episode of her podcast Are You a Charlotte? while speaking with showrunner Michael Patrick King.
Kristin Davis took to her podcast “Are you a Charlotte?” to claim that Sarah Jessica Parker is still upset over her “Sex and the City” bridesmaid dress.
The Dress Dispute
Davis, who portrayed Charlotte York, recounted how Parker, who plays Carrie Bradshaw, was not pleased with the choice of color for the bridesmaid dress. “Sarah did not want to wear beige at Charlotte’s wedding,” Davis explained.
According to her, Parker was so unhappy with the dress that she attempted to alter it by cutting it up and incorporating tartan pieces, inspired by the kilt worn by Trey MacDougal (Kyle MacLachlan) during the wedding.King described the situation humorously, stating, “She didn’t want to wear beige so much; she cut it up and started putting tartan pieces on it… I mean, it was so funny.” Davis chimed in, saying Parker was “out of her mind” during this wardrobe crisis.
Parker’s Reaction
Davis recalled a moment when Parker came to her with confusion about the dress choice, stating, “I don’t understand…” to which Davis replied, “But it’s Charlotte’s wedding. Of course, you’d be wearing beige—matching.” This exchange highlights the tension between character expectations and personal preferences on set.
A Look Back at the Wedding Episode
The wedding episode, titled “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” featured Charlotte’s bridesmaids, including Carrie, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Samantha (Kim Cattrall), all donning beige Vera Wang dresses, albeit with slight variations in style. This choice was meant to create a cohesive look for the wedding party, but Parker’s resistance to the color became a memorable behind-the-scenes moment.In contrast,
When it came to Carrie’s wedding to Mr. Big (Chris Noth) in the Sex and the City movie, there were no matching bridesmaid dresses. Davis pointed out that neither of the main characters wore similar looks, which made her black Zac Posen gown, dubbed the “Black Swan,” one of her favorite outfits from the franchise.
Conclusion
Kristin Davis’s revelations about Sarah Jessica Parker’s ongoing frustration with the bridesmaid dress serve as a humorous reminder of the dynamics that can occur on set, even among close colleagues. The anecdote adds an entertaining layer to the iconic series, showcasing how personal preferences and character portrayals can sometimes clash in the world of television.
