And Just Like That, Sarah Jessica Parker Brings Back the Fanny Pack

It's like Sarah Jessica Parker carries around this little card in her wallet that announces the bearer can officially do no fashion wrong. We so closely associate her with madcap, uber-trendy Carrie Bradshaw that she could wear, like, a shoe box on her head and we'd all just sigh and think how much we love her. Her latest look wasn't that crazy, but it was definitely something I haven't seen on the red carpet in a while: the fanny pack. For a New York City event, she accessorized a formal, full-skirted black dress with an actual fanny pack, though she avoided a hefty, ready-to-hike style with one from Chanel. As a fan of the hands-free bag, I get it—she probably wanted to shake hands, hold a wineglass, and sample passed hors d'oeuvres without juggling a clutch (that's the worst). I'm especially happy to see her carrying (or not carrying—hah!) the trend over to fall because it was one of the "ugly" summer trends I said I'd never stop loving. When was the last time you wore a fanny pack? Will you take yours out and wear it now?
