New photos from the set of Sex and the City 2 show Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw sporting ‘80s fashion and a poofed-out ‘do. Rumor has it the scenes are flashbacks to the days before Big, but it could very well just be another Bradshaw-esque fashion salute to born-again trends.

Of course, SJP is no stranger to filming in ‘80s fashion. The actress’s first stint on TV was on a series named Square Pegs, a role she almost didn’t get because she was thought to be too pretty to play Patty Greene.
