It’s the end of the road for New York’s iconic fictional fashionista, Carrie Bradshaw.
The “Sex and the City” spinoff series “And Just Like That” ended after three seasons on Thursday night — concluding the franchise starring Sarah Jessica Parker, which first premiered on HBO in 1998.
Now, costume designer Molly Rogers is revealing that she was never officially told the franchise was over.
“It wasn’t like HBO sent an email saying, ‘pack your bags,’” Rogers exclusively told The Post.
“I think that’s the only way these days to keep something a secret. Total blackout,” she added.
The Emmy-winning costume designer, who also worked on “Sex and the City” and the “SATC” movies, said that she had an inkling that Carrie’s story was over when she read the script for the final episode.
“I read it and I started thinking,’ oh yeah.’ There were a lot of little underlying – I feel like – subliminal messages. No one said it [was the end], but in my mind, I always imagined that Carrie would be happily by herself the last time we saw her.”
HBO didn’t announce that Season 3 would be the final season before it premiered. Showrunner Michael Patrick King and star Sarah Jessica Parker both shared the news on social media on Aug. 1, just two weeks before the series finale aired.
Rogers, who does the “And Just Like That” costumes along with Danny Santiago, confirmed to The Post that she officially found out at the same time that the general public did.
“Which I’m for. I appreciate it,” she said.
She added, “I’m glad, I might have been weeping as I chose the last shoe, or something. I think it’s better to be in the dark, and just think of it fondly, and that you gave it your best shot – even not knowing it was the last shot.”
Now streaming on HBO Max, the series finale of “And Just Like That” ends with Carrie alone in her apartment, apparently at peace with being single. In the final shot, she dances around, clad in a sequined pink top and a long pink tulle skirt.
Rogers, who also worked on “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Ugly Betty,” told The Post that the sparkly pink top came from Parker herself.
“That last scene, [I was] kind of thinking it could be the end, but even if it just ended up being the end of Season 3, I thought it has the nod to the original tutu,” she said, referring to the tutu that Carrie wore at the beginning of “Sex and the City.”
She explained that the skirt is by Molly Goddard, and she found it in a London runway show.
“And because this episode was set on Thanksgiving, it was cranberry. And that [sequined top] was a personal sweater of Sarah’s that Lauren Scott had made, a dear friend.”
Aside from her pink series finale outfit, Carrie’s most viral Season 3 look was an enormous puffy hat that resembled a cloud.
Fans criticized the outlandish look, but Rogers said the negative reactions “really perplexed me.”
The “And Just Like That” costume designer said that the show was “always intended to be a moving fashion magazine.”
Referring to how Carrie donned the now-infamous look during a jaunt to Washington Square Park, Rogers told The Post, “Did the fans of the show want her to walk through the Washington Square Park eating ice cream in a sun visor?”
She explained that Parker found the hat, and “she thought it was wonderful and whimsical, which is what Carrie has always been.”
Rogers quipped, “It’s not a documentary, anyway.”
Reflecting on her time on “Sex and the City” and “And Just Like That,” Rogers said that it was always exciting to find a fashion “treasure,” and “to see [Parker] come into the fitting room and squeal, ‘Where did you find this?’”
Rogers added, “I am spoiled for the rest of my life. There’s no one that puts on clothes like Ms. Parker.”
She joked that it would be “downhill” after the “SATC” franchise.
“Now, I’ll probably be doing some prison show, or something,” Rogers joked.
