When Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted on the street wearing a lehenga while filming the show, it sparked a debate about whether the look constituted cultural appropriation. And Just Like That attempted to address the conversation in episode 6.

While Seema assures Carrie that it's “cultural appreciation” since she was invited to celebrate Diwali at Seema’s family home, viewers are critical. Some pointed out that they call the look a sari, when in fact, Bradshaw was referring to — and ultimately wore — a lehenga.

For a picnic in the park, Miranda goes for a shirtdress in black and white plaid with a twisted front for stylized appeal. Notably, this is the second episode in a row where she shies away from dressing in bold colors like usual.

Charlotte continues her posh, sophisticated streak in a floral print pussy bow blouse for their picnic in the park. Her bright colors and soft texture was a striking contrast to Carrie’s suit and Miranda’s plaid dress.
