Fans imitate Carrie Bradshaw jog-walk in ‘SATC’ TikTok trend
And just like that… Carrie Bradshaw has inspired another trend.
TikTokers have been imitating the way Sarah Jessica Parker’s “Sex and the City” character strolls NYC streets in the lead-up to the second season of the spin-off series “And Just Like That…”
Fans of the HBO Max show know the jog-walk all too well, but to recap: Carrie always appears to be jogging — no matter if she’s on time, the streets and sidewalks are clear, or her heels are very high.
If Carrie has somewhere to go, she’ll doubtless be lightly trotting as she crosses the street, looking over her shoulder and letting her skirt flow in the wind.
“The little jog to the walk was truly her personal brand,” user @chelseaasoflate captioned her own version, which has walked away with 10 million views and 842,000 likes since the clip was posted in December 2021.
People in the comments agreed Chelsea nailed Carrie’s infamous walk — admitting they do it themselves.
“At least 3 people fell in love w you in this video as you carrie walked by lol,” one wrote.
“I walk this [way] because of her all the time lmaoo,” another confessed.
“Why did I instinctively do this visiting New York?” a TikToker wondered.
“The three step run and walk,” someone else declared.
“Nothing HAS EVER BEEN THIS ACCURATE,” one exclaimed.
The video sparked a viral trend, and “SATC” devotees started joining in on the fun.
Some people have truly channeled the fictional columnist-turned-podcaster, donning skirts and trotting through the streets of Manhattan, while others put their own creative twists on the trend, bringing the run-walk to the suburbs, the sea and even the classroom.
Most of the TikTokers have dressed in their finest Carrie-inspired fits, and each video is set to the iconic “SATC” instrumental theme song.
“POV: You do the ‘Carrie’ walk to hail a ride and it works,” one user captioned a February video that showed herself walking the walk wearing a two-piece zebra-print outfit — to the tune of 52,100 views.
Another person rocked a dress similar to one of Carrie’s many fashion moments while strutting around her city, mocking the little jog.
“She LOVES her own walk lol,” someone noted of Carrie in the comments.
TikToker @itsashforde also mimicked Carrie in a video that was captioned, “The little jog to walk Carrie does gets me all the time.”
“Were you born with this mimicry talent or did you spend years getting it perfect? You did, get it perfect!” one person applauded.
One fan took Carrie’s moves to the suburbs, filming herself doing the jog-walk at Target, taking out the trash, getting gas and walking her dog — activities that commenters claimed Carrie would never do.
The Carrie run was also brought to the sea by a fan who captioned her video, “She’s always in a rush!!”
“Sex and the City” aired from 1998 to 2004, while “And Just Like That…” premiered on HBO Max in December 2021.
Season 2 is set to drop in June.
