The power of a great statement bag should not be underestimated; it's an accessory that doesn’t just complete an outfit, it can also become the outfit. And at Milan Fashion Week, Sarah Jessica Parker proved just this with a sparkling Fendi Baguette bag that took us back to her Sex and the City days.
However, it isn't just the bag we love, her whole look felt sophisticated and on-trend, it also perfectly demonstrated tonal dressing as she combined several deep khaki colours, which slightly differed. She layered a ribbed knit dress with a longline khaki blazer and leather knee high boots. It's the kind of outfit that makes you rethink what colours are going to be featuring in your spring capsule wardrobe—deep greens, it seems!
But the real standout feature? The bag. Her blush pink Baguette was covered in oversized crystals, it had a peony-coloured strap and a logo clasp. An accessory that felt like a real nod to Carrie Bradshaw. Although her exact bag is not available, you can shop similar sparkly bags at Fendi, and we've also found some excellent high-street pieces.

The Fendi Fall 2025 collection shown this year at Milan Fashion Week drew inspiration from the 1960s and 70s, using luxurious materials such as leather, fur and suede and intricate designs. The main colours we kept dark, with rich browns, dark greens and luxurious deep reds all prominently featured.
