The Real Chic Life

Have you been watching the latest season of And Just Like That? The reboot of Sex and the City has been met with mixed reviews, but it has given viewers plenty of interesting fashion moments to talk about. I’ve been captivated by the stylish whirlwind that is Lisa Todd Wexley, played flawlessly by Nicole Ari Parker. Lisa is a documentarian, mother of three, and fashion icon in her own right. Her wardrobe is nothing short of breathtaking—equal parts couture, color, and curated confidence. If you’re wondering how to infuse a little LTW magic into your own wardrobe, today’s installment of How to Dress Like is for you (make sure you check out my recommendations at the end—click the photos to shop).

LTW Style Staples: What Defines Her Look

1. Bold Color Blocking & Prints

Lisa doesn’t shy away from color—whether it’s a rich emerald green coat, a vibrant red suit, or an artsy printed maxi dress. She leans into jewel tones, metallics, and high-impact palettes that stand out in any crowd— like her sold out Elzinga blazer dress and Max Mara shorts pictured above, and her colorful Issey Miyake jumpsuit.

How to get the look:

• Opt for tailored pieces in bold hues like cobalt blue, fuchsia, or saffron.
• Don’t be afraid to mix prints—florals, geometrics, and African-inspired patterns all find a home in her wardrobe.

2. Elevated Tailoring

Whether she’s dropping her kids off or attending a gala, Lisa is rarely without a sharply tailored blazer, wide-leg trouser, or structured dress. Her pieces (like the Halston Cape Button up top, Bouguessa coat and Jacquemas pants above) have architectural flair but never feel stiff.

Get inspired:

• Choose suits with unexpected details: puffed shoulders, dramatic collars, or statement buttons.
• Seek quality fabrics—think silks, crepe, and jacquard.

3. Luxe Accessories

LTW knows how to finish a look. From chunky gold earrings to stacked bangles and embellished turbans, her accessories are statement pieces all on their own.

Style tip:

• Mix vintage and designer pieces.
• Invest in one or two dramatic pieces—a wide-brim hat, a sculptural necklace, or a bold clutch. Lisa’s turban is sold out but you can find other turbans by this designer- Mary Jane Claverol.

4. Editorial Eveningwear

When it’s time for a party, Lisa shows up in full runway glam. She embraces tulle, sequins, fringe, feathers, and avant-garde silhouettes.

To channel LTW for a night out:

• Look for gowns or cocktail dresses with volume, texture, or a story to tell like Lisa’s custom Valentino gown or Rianna + Nina dress pictured above.
• Don’t forget dramatic heels and a bold lip.

Designers LTW Would Approve Of

If you want to shop like Lisa, keep an eye out for labels like:

• Christopher John Rogers (for color and drama)
• Hanifa (for shape and luxury with a modern edge)
• Oscar de la Renta (classic uptown glam)
• Tove or Rosie Assoulin (sculptural silhouettes and playfulness)
• Thebe Magugu or Tongoro Studio (African designers with high-concept fashion)

LTW Style—Everyday Edition

But you don’t need a Met Gala invite to dress like LTW. Here are some outfit formulas to translate her look into daily life:

Weekend Brunch: Artfully layered caftan + colorful sandals + eye-catching scarf or necklace.

The School Run: Bold printed midi or maxi dress + statement sunnies + luxe leather tote

Work Mode: Jewel-tone pantsuit or layered shirt dress + sculptural hoops

Whether you’re revamping your closet or just looking for a spark of inspiration, LTW’s wardrobe is proof that fashion can be fearless and fun. Add some drama, sharpen those silhouettes, and remember: confidence is the ultimate accessory.
