‘Sex and the City’: Carrie Bradshaw Wedding Dress Discovered in Thrift Store for $19
Miracles do happen. A woman named Ashley Cano stumbled upon the same Vera Wang wedding dress that Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) wore in the Sex and the City movie.
And she got it for a steal. Cano revealed that she only paid $19 for the wedding gown after discovering it at Goodwill. “Vera freaking Wang. I cannot believe that I found this dress at Goodwill for $18.99. It is Vera Wang. It is the Carrie Bradshaw dress,” Cano said in her TikTok video.
She captioned her video, “I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this dress. But I fear I may have bit off more than I can chew. It’s so big, so heavy.” On a bridal resale site, this Vera Wang dress has retailed for as high as $7,500.

Fans quickly took to the comments to chime about her epic thrift store find. “Oh wow! Girl! That is the thrifting lottery!” one user wrote. Another wrote, “I immediately thought of Carrie Bradshaw before you said a word. Amazing score !!!”
Carrie famously wore a version of this Vera Wang gown during her Vogue photo shoot ahead of her wedding to Mr. Big (Chris Noth). Carrie donned a number of designer gowns — Vera Wang, Chanel, Dior, to name a few — but the Vivienne Westwood dress was her favorite. The designer sent Carrie the dress for her to wear on her big day.
Carrie was wearing the Vivienne Westwood gown when Big went MIA at their New York Public Library wedding. When they crossed paths in the street, she famously hit Big with her bouquet.
Parker notably rewore Carrie’s wedding gown in the And Just Like That Season 2 premiere. “We weren’t entirely certain that we could get the dress back,” she told PEOPLE. “It was in London and unearthing it was complicated — getting it through customs in time and then making sure was this, in fact, the original dress? The color looked different.”
She continued, “It was really incredible and fun and thank goodness it fit! It was very special to have it back in our possession for a brief period and to figure out how it helped tell this story now.”
