Netflix series "Emily in Paris" is such a cliché - gorgeous!

However, a dress that the 56-year-old wore at the end of July and now again during filming causes confusion. It is a beige model with a paisley pattern. The operator of the Instagram channel "Just Like That Closet" claimed that the model was from the clothing chain Forever 21.

Style icon Carrie Bradshaw in a cheap brand dress?

Over 80,000 people follow the page, which was launched by 23-year-old Ukrainian Victoria Bazalinchuk. She has set herself the goal of offering the looks from the series for re-styling. Even actress Sarah Jessica Parker became aware of the channel, Bazalinchuk told the New York Post.

Many followers did not want to believe that style icon Carrie Bradshaw would buy a dress from the cheap brand Forever 21. "First Carrie was stylish and sexy and now she's frumpy?" asked one user. Another commented, "Carrie would never wear that." Or: "I hate these outfits. It's not even close to the league it was before."

Fashion self-experiment Copied and tried on: I dressed like Carrie from "Sex and the City".

In fact, one person who made "Sex and the City" a success is missing: stylist Patricia Field. The American is no longer involved in the sequel "And Just Like That", instead taking care of the outfits for the successful Netflix series "Emily in Paris".

In the end, the fuss about a possible cheap dress from Forever 21 was in vain, because the outfit comes from the US brand Raga, as the designers announced on Instagram. While the label is more premium than Forever 21, it doesn't compare to the accessories Sarah Jessica Parker wears: a Balenciaga bag and Terry de Havilland sandals. In the end, Carrie Bradshaw remains true to herself.
