Annasophia Robb

The Carrie Diaries isn't due to debut until January 2013, but last night the show was feted at the 2012 New York Television Festival. And naturally, lead actress who plays Carrie Bradshaw, AnnaSophia Robb, looked dazzling in a pre-Fall 2012 Emilio Pucci dress with a gold peplum top and black pencil skirt. She finished off with black Sergio Rossi slingback pumps — shop the metallic version here ($715) — and a red glittery clutch. While her dress isn't available online, you can easily re-create it by pairing up a gold peplum top with a black pencil skirt. Swap the skirt for wide-leg trousers for a menswear-inspired vibe.

As The Carrie Diaries continues to shoot on the streets of NYC, we continue to get glimpses of what the young Carrie Bradshaw wore back in the day. The latest ensemble is quintessential Carrie: a poufy sequined dress topped with a leopard cardigan by Autumn Cashmere with clashing hot orange pumps and a heart belt. While this look would be hard to pull off on a regular day, it would be fun for an '80s-themed party or Halloween. You can also tame it by wearing the lemongrass leopard cardigan and hot orange pumps with jeans and a white tee. Get the young Carrie's exact cardigan now and play around for a Carrie-inspired combination that's all you.

For her first day on set of The Carrie Diaries, AnnaSophia Robb strutted NYC in a floral Derek Lam blouse and shorts, and for her latest take, the actress was spotted prancing around the streets in a glamorously poufy and sequined dress. In true Carrie form, the outfit was completed with a sassy green cropped denim jacket, caged sandals, colorful bracelets, a black clutch, and, of course, a "C" initial necklace. While this look isn't one for the sidewalks, it would be darling for your next soiree. Just throw on an equally standout gown with a casual denim jacket and spend the night in Carrie Bradshaw's fabulous shoes.

While we impatiently await the arrival of The Carrie Diaries, we're lucky enough to get a sneak peek of what's to come in the wardrobe department. On the NYC set of the show, actress AnnaSophia Robb, who plays Carrie, was spotted sporting a fabulous floral tie-neck blouse by 10 Crosby Derek Lam — which you can buy now! — with loose-fitting black shorts and a neon Carrie-clad bag. As we know, Carrie's love of shoes transcends the usual black patent pump, but we'll have to wait and see what glamorous footwear the young Carrie wears through the season. If you love the young Carrie's flirty blouse, pair it with high-waist black trousers for work. Then switch the pants for denim as classy weekend wear.

Carrie Bradshaw is coming back to TV next Fall — but not as the sex columnist we all know and love. The Carrie Diaries will follow Miss Bradshaw through her teen years, and from the looks of this picture, she caught the fashion bug pretty early on. Here's the first official image of AnnaSophia Robb as Carrie, in what's an obvious nod to the ensemble that Sarah Jessica Parker rocks in the opening credits of Sex and the City. Robb looks pretty adorable set against the NYC backdrop, and she's definitely rocking Carrie's signature curls. How do you feel about Carrie 2.0?
