'I proved them wrong'

Making reference to her fashion choices throughout her time on air, Carrie said she was often told her outfits were "too much" for TV. Thanking her styling team during last night's episode, she said, "I remember early on in the show, being told that my outfits were perhaps too much - that people couldn't look at what I was wearing and listen to what I was saying at the same time. Take this. I proved them wrong," she said while gesturing to the bold red dress.
