First look: AnnaSophia Robb as the young Carrie Bradshaw in official photograph for Sex and the City prequel The Carrie Diaries

It's a familiar image - a fashionable curly-haired Carrie Bradshaw strutting on a Manhattan rooftop in her silver sequinned dress and a pair of bright red stilettos. But rather than 46-year-old Sarah Jessica Parker, it's 18-year-old AnnaSophia Robb taking her last few steps in obscurity before the pilot of Sex and The City prequel The Carrie Diaries airs in May.The shot shows Robb in a typically eclectic sparkling silver sequinned dress, complete with rainbow belt , leopard print green jacket and bright red heels.
