Best Looks Worn By Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Delaware chapter.

From 1998 until 2004, Sex and the City gave viewers raw talk about sex, female troubles and fashion. The four main characters, Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha, each had their own personality that they brought to the table. Or should I say, brunch table. The lead, Carrie, always had something picked out to match her Manolo Blahniks, which she always paired perfectly with a cosmopolitan. It’s hard to pick a clear winner, but here is a list of her most legendary looks.

10. The Iconic Opening Credit outfit. It is only on this list because of the hair and those shoes.

 9. Because in the early 2000s, it was okay to pair expensive red heels with something I could use as a bathing suit cover-up. Also, accessories that were bigger than your head were in style. 

8.The top is super cute. The bottom is super cute. Separated by some midriff and a matching belt attached to nothing? Iconic. 

7. This outfit is something you could wear in the new decade. Green is in! Maybe leave your feather tail at home though. Carrie was all about business in the front and party in the back. 

6. When you’re in one of the biggest fashion cities in the world, it is crucial that you look the part. And Carrie did just that. Stripes and big flowers have her screaming baguettes and pastries. 

5. Carrie knew how to make the walk of shame look fashionable. Pairing this work shirt with a belt and heels really elevated this look. We can all use these tips on our next morning run home. 

4. The Newspaper dress is known across the globe and in every household. If you haven’t seen it, you live under a rock. Carrie found a way to make news fashionable. 

3. If you are showing up to your ex’s engagement party (late may I add) you better look really good. And really good is exactly how she looked. 

2. Naked Dress. Short, simple, sweet. 

1. Any dress you wear to ditch the man that paid for you to live in Paris for the man who you have loved for years is a dress that deserves the number 1 spot. 

Carrie had a lot of fashion “yays” and “nays” throughout the 6 seasons of the show. But they were definitely always memorable. Which look is your favorite?
