Sarah Jessica Parker is back in THAT controversial sundress to film Sex and the City reboot … after backlash from Carrie Bradshaw fans furious that it might have been Forever 21

Sarah Jessica Parker, 56, has slipped back into the off-the-rack sundress that recently caused quite a stir among Carrie Bradshaw fans.

The Sex and the City actress was seen in the ensemble shooting the HBO reboot, And Just Like That…, with costar Cynthia Nixon, 55, in Manhattan on Thursday.

A few weeks back fans of the show were in an uproar after photos emerged of SJP filming in a dress layered over a button-up that was falsely identified to have been purchased from Forever 21.

During the scene this week, Carrie and Miranda were seen in deep conversation filming on the steps of the Grant Memorial in uptown Manhattan. 

Sarah was back in the controversial paisley printed sundress that caused such a hoopla several weeks back taping another scene from presumably the same day – as Carrie doesn’t dare repeat outfits.

SJP paired the layered look once more with a pricy Gucci x Balenciaga bag and chunky platform heels with her blonde tresses in a braid, coiffed by hair stylist Serge Normant.

Meanwhile, alongside her, actress Cynthia Nixon looked put together in a long-sleeved sky blue top tucked into a patchy chambray maxi skirt and a pair of denim ballet flats.

The star was styled with a camel colored leather back pack, a cross body canvas bucket bag and a chunky statement necklace.

When Parker first appeared on the set of And Just Like That … in the bohemian dress in late July it was identified by the And Just Like That Closet, an Instagram fan account, as a Forever 21 piece.

Fans went wild with fury that the ultra-fashionable, couture loving Carrie would deign to wear fast fashion. 

‘So Carrie went from stylish and sexy to frumpy?’ one person complained, while someone else wrote: ‘Forever21 really? On a 50-something. Patricia Field would never…’

Patricia Field is the famed costume designer responsible for Sarah Jessica Parker’s iconic wardrobe throughout SATC  and the subsequent films. 

DailyMail.com previously exclusively reported that Field wasn’t returning to the reboot.

‘Patricia Field is not coming back – she is focusing on Emily in Paris,’ a source said. ‘This is a first for the show as the clothes for the sixth season and two movies were all styled by Patricia.’

It turns out the social media backlash surrounding the Forever 21 dress was all for naught as it turns out – while still off-the-rack – the dress was made by a different label.

The sundress was made by a brand called Raga which is sold at Anthropologie, Nordstrom, and Mod Sense.

Raga confirmed it was one of their pieces last week as they shared images of Sarah on set with the caption: ‘@SarahJessicaParker as Carrie Bradshaw wearing our Avah Ruffle Strap Maxi Dress. #SJP shows off in her boho chic ensemble for the SATC revival “And Just Like That” [cityscape emoji]’

The dress is currently sold out but had originally retailed for the modest price of $145.

Kim Cattrall did not reprise her roll in the reboot as she and SJP have a notoriously frosty relationship.

Sarah Jessica Parker and executive producer Michael Patrick King plan to turn the limited SATC reboot into a multi-season show, a senior production source recently confirmed to told DailyMail.com

Fans can ‘expect to see a second season [of And Just Like That] announced soon’ by HBO Max the source said, adding that the source added that ‘the door is open’ for Kim Cattrall to return.

‘If she ever changes her mind, she can come back,’ they said. 

And Just Like That is slated to premiere on HBO Max in late 2021.
