Emily Ratajkowski Just Re-Created One of Carrie Bradshaw's Most Iconic '90s Looks

As New Yorkers, socialites, and fashion insiders, Carrie Bradshaw and Emily Ratajkowski evidently have a lot in common. Although the former might be fictional, her style influence is undeniable, and the latter is no stranger to kick-starting new trends IRL like no one else I know of.
Both are renowned for their unique taste in fashion, but Ratajkowski might have been influenced by the enduing queen of New York style. She stepped out this week in a dress that bears a striking resemblance to one of Carrie's most iconic looks.
On Emily Ratajkowski: Bec + Bridge Sania Twist Mini Dress ($240)
Wearing a skin-hugging gray minidress with black sneakers (something Bradshaw would never do) and a matching shoulder bag, Ratajkowski channeled '90s minimalism in the chicest way. Skimming the body in the same manner as Bradshaw's acclaimed season two, episode 15 minidress, the piece crafts a relaxed yet sexy silhouette that will never lose its appeal.
Further modernizing the dress, Ratajkowski styled hers with black oversize sunglasses, a single gold necklace, and small silver hoops for a low-key finish.
Indulging even more in her Carrie moment, Ratajkowski was spotted out later that night wearing the same gray minidress with strappy heels.
Ratajkowski was not the first fashion person to re-create this iconic look. Kendall Jenner wore a gray minidress from Australian brand St. Agni while running between appointments in Paris last year. While Jenner emulated Carrie's iconic look by opting for strappy heeled sandals, Ratajkowski's laid-back sneaker outfit proves the dress has even more mileage in it than I initially imagined.
A gray minidress is a staple buy you'll reach for throughout the seasons. Read on to discover our edit of the best Carrie Bradshaw–inspired gray minidresses to shop.
