We don’t see another full outfit from Carrie until that new downstairs neighbor pays her a visit, when she’s wearing a pink bias-cut dress and yellow Aquazzura heels. Apparently, Carrie hasn’t heard of the 80% carpet rule, and her footwork is really getting on the nerves of writer Duncan Reeves.
Duncan asks Carrie to remove her heels in her apartment (which, to be honest, doesn’t seem like such an outrageous ask; besides, those heels can’t be good for the wood floors). Carrie, though, is aghast at the request and refuses to ditch her beloved stilettos. It seems she forgot about the incident in the first season when she got hip surgery and had to wear flats while recovering. Or, the more recent moment this season when she wears Dr. Scholl’s sandals.
Despite the bickering, though, there is immediately some clear sexual chemistry between these two, and their enemies-to-lovers trope officially kicks off.
