Morris sent me an article about actor Sundra Oakely’s experience playing the chef sister of Samantha’s paramour, a Black music producer, on season 3, episode 5, “No Ifs, Ands, or Butts.” Rife with stereotypes, the episode is considered one of the series’ most cringe-worthy, but Morris points out that Oakley still looked fabulous. “She is in a red dress and is so powerful. I’m like, ‘Wow, Pat really did her thing. She didn’t let anyone overshadow, maybe they were an extra but they competed,” says Morris. “They showed up, just as much as the other women as well.”

In another post, Morris highlights American-Korean comedian Margaret Cho’s turn as a publicist in season 4, episode 2, titled “The Real Me” in which Carrie falls on the runway. Morris captioned her image, with “this performance doesn’t get the credit it deserves. the nails! the attitude! the swearing! the job! the drama! the brows! the boyfriend! margaret cho did what needed to be done. what’s your favorite line of hers?”
One of her favorite moments happens when Natasha and her friend bump into Carrie and her crew. “Natasha walks in with her friend who is a gorgeous Black girl. She has her ponytail pulled back and has a red Fendi baguette and she just gives them this look that is so fierce, and Charlotte is just like ‘Wow, did you see the way her friend looked at us?’”
Ultimately, Morris likes to create a mood, build her own stylish character, and develop a world based on moments she loves—no matter how big or small. “You sort of create this essence of ‘I have places to go, things to do, people to see, these are the shoes,’” says Morris. “I want to move effortlessly but with intention.”
