Ashley Graham Puts a Modern Spin on Carrie Bradshaws Newspaper Dress

August 2024 · 2 minute read

And just like that, Ashley Graham put her own dazzling spin on Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic Sex and the City newspaper dress.

Last night, the supermodel attended a gastronomic experience at Clase Azul’s Loft in Brooklyn and—always ready for a good time—dressed to the nines in her best party look.

The standout piece in Graham’s ensemble was her glittery gray-and-black minidress, with a newspaper-like print smeared and made abstract by pools of silver glitter. The mini by Clio Peppiatt additionally featured a sweetheart neckline and a leg slit. Graham paired it with black sandals with shimmering silver detailing, plus simple gold and silver jewelry, including several rings.

Her hair was styled in beach waves, and she wore glowy, bronzy makeup.

Graham spoke to Bazaar.com last year about her approach to dressing and her go-to closet staples.

“I love the RealReal, I love Amazon. It’s like a mix of high-low for me. I’m the epitome of high-low—like, I just went to Target and bought a bunch of stuff. I’m all over the place. And sustainability is a big deal too,” she said at the time.

She added that when she’s searching for a high-priced item, she “definitely will hunt on consignment stores” before she visits luxury boutiques or department stores. “I did invest in, to me, the perfect oversized white shirt, the R13, and I have three white of the same and I got it also in blue pinstripe—and there’s a crop version,” she admitted. “Don’t come for me!”
