This is what created the style of the flashy girl from Flushing.
Definitely sexy, but not trashy.
It has a sweetness to it.
She was a nanny, always with a littlezhuzh.
We would change the buttons, sometimes put on different trims, and we woulddefinitelyshorten the skirt.
Just like a 90s Mary Poppins, a la Fran Drescher.
Both sets feature the dramatic leopard collar, cuffs, and buttons, with a soft peplum.
Carpenter was also seen with a similar, matching beret, and big, bouncy curls.
So far, so Fran.
Its not the first time Carpenter has delved into Frans wardrobe.
Faux fur and vintage finds have proven a go-to Winter fit formula for Carpenter.
