She revealed that she was the one who chose the accessory and insisted that it appear on the show.
“I saw the hat and wanted it on my head,” she recalled to USA Today.
“At this point, there’s no pretend dilly-dallying around. We pretty much just put stuff on my head and photograph it, and hope that Michael Patrick [King, executive producer of the show] is hospitable to the idea.”

She explained that the dress in the scene felt “incomplete” without the hat.
“Once you’ve put a lot of hats on your head, you feel like it’s missing its punctuation point,” she said. “So there was that hat. It was going to be a lovely summer day, and it just felt like the period at the end of the sentence. I loved it and [King] agreed. I feel we’ve really worn him down. His eyes have adapted to large-scale things on heads now, so he’s pretty generous about how often they can appear.”
The show’s creator spoke about it as well.
“It’s like, ‘Hey, everybody, we’re back! Here’s a hat that Carrie would wear eating sherbet in Washington Square Park. Why not?’ ” he explained.
“I’ve learned over the years that sometimes logic is not as good as a hat. It makes people say, ‘I love it. I hate it. Oh, my God, what was she thinking?’ ”
He admitted he knew it would go viral.
“It’ll be a thing. People will wear it at Halloween. It’s always fun, but with that (hat) particularly, I had to call up some of the writers and say, ‘Get ready. Once it’s on the head, it’s not coming off,’ ” he explained.
