And Just Like That, We're in Love With Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda's Beauty Looks All Over Again

When you think about Carrie Bradshaw, a woman with long blond curls and minimal makeup dressed in a chic outfit probably comes to mind. And for the most part, that’s the same look you can expect to see on And Just Like That… “Carrie is still very fashion-forward and super cool and [with] the beautiful hair,” Laurence told POPSUGAR.

Parker, along with Nixon and Davis, had her own hair and makeup team who created her looks for the series, but Laurence said the former’s longtime makeup artist, Elaine Offers Woulard, wanted her look to be “very fresh-faced, and to make it look very easy and not overdone.”

Out of all the characters, Miranda’s look is the most transformative. Celebrity makeup artist Kerrie Plant-Price worked her magic on the star. “She’s grown a little bit with her look,” Laurence said. “She’s embracing a new sense of herself, and she’s paying attention to her makeup, and things like that.”

Instead of Miranda’s classic red hair that we’re used to seeing on the original show, you’ll see her with lighter grey hair now. “She’s embracing her age – they all are, actually.”

Davis used her own personal makeup artist, Matin Maulawizada, for the limited series as well, and her beauty vibe remained “very polished and simple,” as Laurence described. We’d expect nothing less of the queen of Park Avenue.

The beauty looks don’t stop there. In fact, that’s only the beginning. With four new main characters being introduced, there’s a lot more where that came from. Seema, who’s a single Manhattan real estate broker, becomes close friends with Carrie over the course of the show.

“She’s a boss lady; she’s very strong and successful and just very put together,” Laurence said. Unlike the other stars who are a bit more pared down, the inspiration for her look came from Old Hollywood glamour – specifically Bianca Jagger. “[A] matte lip and heavy eyeliner and lashes” was the go-to makeup look for her.

Then you have Lisa, a mom of three and documentarian. “She is a very wealthy Upper East Side woman and has a lot of scenes with [Charlotte],” Laurence said, though Lisa is meant to be a bit more “fashion-forward” and trendy. “As the season went on with her, we evolved [her look] during different events on the show,” she said.

There’s yet another new face on And Just Like That… to look out for: Che Diaz. Che is a standup comedian who frequently hosts Carrie on their podcast. According to Laurence, an instrumental part of Che’s look are their tattoos, which actor Ramirez was heavily involved in selecting.

“It was actually their idea to have the tattoos from the beginning,” she said. “All of the tattoos are very specific to them.” Laurence and Ramirez went back and forth discussing exactly what Che’s tattoos would be and landed on a collection of meaningful designs, including one that is a “picture of them younger and older.”

Nya, aka Dr. Wallace, a Columbia law professor, is a total departure from the two new faces previously mentioned. “She has a no-makeup makeup look,” Laurence said. Her signature is her long braids and a subtle lip stain.

With all of the show’s characters “embracing their age” in And Just Like That…, the hair and makeup teams on set wanted to accentuate each person’s natural beauty but never “hide” anything.

“What we did not do on this show was do anything, like, try to pull things tight and fudge the lines,” Laurence said. “The route I chose [was] just to make everyone very glowy and dewy and creamy.”

To achieve that glowy look, a handful of products were kept on set, but she’s labelled one as her absolute must have: the Lashify Lash System ($145). “There are so many different levels of lashes you can do, and it goes underneath your lashes so it just looks very natural,” Laurence said. The only person who didn’t wear them on screen was Seema, who had a thick strip of lashes on instead to stay true to that Old Hollywood look.
