Carrie Bradshaw's back - and so is her bizarre fashion

While speculation about Sex and the City movie plot lines continue to run hot, one thing is for certain - Carrie Bradshaw's fashion sense remains as eccentric as ever.

Sarah Jessica Parker, who reprises her role as the New York columnist in the upcoming movie, was spotted on set yesterday in a look best described as 'bag lady' chic.

The thrown-together ensemble featured thigh-high argyle socks teamed with peep-toe stilettos, a cobalt blue 'Stay alive in 85' slogan jersey and charcoal button down overcoat.

The quirky combination broke all the usual conventions of good fashion, but of course, it's what Carrie Bradshaw has long done best.

Excitement around the upcoming movie has reached fever pitch, but Chris Noth, who plays Mr Big, says not everything is as it seems.

Earlier this month, pictures emerged from the set showing Carrie Bradshaw in a voluminous bridal gown.

But Noth says some are making "wrong observations" about the movie's plot.

He added: "It's safe to say anything is possible and anything you read in the papers, take with a healthy, healthy dose of scepticism."

Meanwhile, a source told the New York Post's Page Six, some scenes are just a rouse: "[Producers] are playing mind tricks with the fans."

"The pictures have been staged to make people think they're following a predictable plot, but these are really only dreams.

"Everyone's wondering how Charlotte could finally get pregnant after all that time. They're loving that everyone's imaginations are running wild."

While Noth wouldn't let any script details slip, he did say he's enjoying being back in Mr Big mode, adding: "Everyone's great. It's a lot of work. It's a big, robust script. I said that word, 'big!'".

Noth concluded: "Big! Robust! Script! Sort of like a wine - a good, healthy wine."
