The HBO Max reboot of “Sex and the City” may have divided audiences, but it kept pushing New York fashion into bold, sometimes absurd territory.

The Dior newspaper dress Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) wore after ruining Natasha Naginsky’s (Bridget Moynahan) lunch. Carrie’s cowboy-chic look in the Hamptons. The white tulle skirt from the opening credits. When “Sex and the City” premiered in 1998, it almost instantly joined the fashion canon. The clothes were as outrageous, funny, generous and bold as the women wearing them.

On Thursday its reboot, “And Just Like That …,” took its final bow, and Ms. Parker said goodbye to Carrie Bradshaw, the sex-columnist-turned-author, once again. The reboot inspired both devotion and derision, never quite reaching the cultural stratosphere of its originator.
