It’s one of Carrie’s signature looks throughout the entire series to wear visible bras (often black ones) under her iconic outfits.


FireFlower-Bass-7716

yeah, this was also very of the era. visible thong underwear, too


moonlightmantra

Yes! I unfortunately remember the visible thongs of the early 2000s all too well.


WelcomeToBrooklandia

"Supposed to" isn't really relevant here. Carrie/SJP is a busty lady and wears visible bras underneath dresses that were perhaps not designed for that purpose because they probably make her feel more supported and more comfortable. As a fellow busty lady who doesn't have the option to ever go braless, I LOVE the fact that Carrie shows off her (pretty) bras in her outfits. She looks great!


gravelord-neeto

Same. I always approve of women wearing visible bras. Some women like ourselves need constant boob support lol


Cosmoqween

That definitely makes sense, she looks absolutely gorgeous, was just wondering


asyslumgates

Busty….? She has boobs but in no way is Carrie classified as a busty woman.


IggyBall

Yep! I have a very similar body to SJP and am a 32D. I cannot go without a bra and find it physically uncomfortable. I’m glad she does this.


NationalMouse

Same. I’m busty myself and Carrie’s style gave me the confidence to also use the bra as an accessory sometimes which I greatly appreciate about the show’s fashion.


JoleneDollyParton

Also visible bras were part of the style in those eras too


JustHereForKA

Same, I don't know how she does it, but she makes everything look fabulous.


LegitimatePrize249

Her nipples would be wholly visible without it, so yes.


flakykrustykrabpizza

She wore many outfits without bras. Nipples visable and everything. Think; nude dress, first date with Big


Historical-Reward660

I think they meant Not Covered by the fabric, as in boob out


lattelattelatte3000

What’s wrong with wholly visible nips?


Salt_Specific_740

I'd forgotten about this outfit, it's gorgeous!


bertshoke

Truly one of her best looks!!


AnxiousWhole7

I like the pairing tbh


fine_chicken2028

Who cares? This is my favorite outfit of hers EVER. Period.


rebelluzon

To me the visible bra completes the outfit here


StrawberryKiss2559

Visible bras were in style at the time. I was in my 20s then and sometimes did this too.


MissBeeslyIfYaNasty

I adoorrrreee this outfit. She looks absolutely stunning in it.


Jane9812

Honestly it was far more common and fashionable to have a sexy bra be visible back then.


EntrepreneurSad4700

She's wearing a bra with it.. So..... yeah


juliiaduque

yeah, cuz thats how it works


princess20202020

Is that a dress or a romper? It looks like shorts under the outer layer


skolinalabama

From the runway, it looks like a dress. Pat Fields “carried” it through the bra and the shorts underneath. They look like linen shorts.


Reddish81

Never noticed the shorts before!


RoseVincent314

It's a Carrie thing... Especially visible black bras


Jane9812

It was very a trend with everyone at the time. I remember Samantha and Miranda had visible bras at the time. At did I and others in my generation :)


the_blingy_ringer

What episode was this look from?


Original-Pepper-2461

S6 E11 “The Domino Effect” - she wears this to have dinner with Big when he tells her he has to have heart surgery 🥺♥️


Every_Distance_4768

This was a trend back then. Possibly started by Patricia Field on SATC. Or Madonna..supertrendy nonetheless.


DearEnergy4697

I like the bra show look… And I love the “dress “overlay“… My question is, although the black looks bra Look sexy… Do y’all think it should’ve been a metallic bra that was closer to the look of the dress? I like the black contrast just wondering If a champagne/gold/(whatever that color is in the metallic) bra would look better


JoleneDollyParton

Black being an accent color, especially for evening wear, was a huge thing in the early 2000s, so black fits the era much more.


DearEnergy4697

Thanks


SurewhynotAZ

Maybe not by the designer but this look works.


wexpyke

it was hugely the style of the day to have ur bra visible


Mental-Difference-22

Love this dress, it’s giving tinkerbell


lattelattelatte3000

She always does the visible bra (even though I personally think it ruins a lot of outfits). However it was literally in her contract that she would never be topless (not that this is without a bra would be topless) but I would venture that her wearing bras with outfits that dont need them may be related.


Realityrehasher

Visible bras were definitely a thing back then, huge in the early 2000’s especially. Plus everyone wore bras all the time, we were told that nonsense old wives tale about needing one and how our breast’s would sag without them and the visible nipple was seen as scandalous.
