If you’re a fan of Sex and the City, then you know that Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) is something of a shoe connoisseur. While the fictional character’s closet is lined with everything from Christian Louboutins to Jimmy Choos, her most iconic pair of heels has to be the royal blue pumps she wore for her city hall wedding to Mr. Big (played by Chris Noth) in Sex and the City: The Movie.

The silk Hangisi stilettos from Manolo Blahnik featured a pointed-toe silhouette and a crystal embellishment, which perfectly embodied Carrie’s ultra-glamorous style. For the big day, she opted to pair them with a more pared-back ensemble for her casual nuptials, sporting them with a white skirt suit and a bright yellow clutch. Since the film’s release, these pumps have taken on a life of their own, with many brands putting their own spin on the noteworthy shoe, including SJP herself.

Whether you plan to shop for Carrie’s exact shoe or find an alternative that suits your style, there are several chic options to choose from at every price point. Keep reading for 20 Carrie Bradshaw-inspired wedding shoes available to purchase now.
