SARAH JESSICA PARKER
SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDS IN LOS ANGELES, AMERICA - 2000
Before we get to the tube top, we begin in 2000, when Sarah Jessica walked the zany line between "legal briefing" and "Disney princess." Think Suing Beauty or Snow White and the Seven Depositions.

This is the same year that Joan Allen wore her big necklace, so those layered beads as seen on Cynthia must have been the hot item. Kristin and Kim look fantastic, and SJP... is in a glorified strapless bra. I suspect this is life imitating art and that Carrie Bradshaw rubbed off a little.

8TH SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDS, AT THE SHRINE AUDITORIUM, LOS ANGELES, AMERICA - 10 MAR 2002
I guess SJP didn't come this year. Kim looks great, even with the belly shirt. Today those pants would be enough of a smidge higher that it wouldn't even BE a belly shirt.

That big flower ALSO feels like an homage to Pat Field's work on the show.

Kristin and Kim really seem to either coordinate or just be on the same wavelength. They both had metallic accents in 2001, they're both in white in 2002, and now they're in the same shade of fuchsia.

AND THEN. No Kim in their final year, which feels about right given what we know now about how things have gone between these four. Cynthia looks like she's at a school cocktail party, Kristin has apparently picked Cynthia as her replacement mind-meld buddy, and SJP appears to be wearing... a dress on a leash?

From other angles I can find, this truly does seem like the neckpiece here IS connected to the front of the dress. This feels like something Bette Midler's character in Big Business would have worn, with a very large hat. And yes, that's an old reference, but if elders like me don't constantly reference the essential texts, they will be lost to the sands of time. It's a service.
