Don't watch Sex And The City with the intention of trying to define or categorize Carrie Bradshaw's sense of style. Because there is no definition. Carrie, played by actress Sarah Jessica Parker, is the most fashion-forward of the group and a peek into her closet will reveal everything from vintage wear to Gap Jeans to haute couture. The mix is outrageous and fun! While Manolos are always a must, each season, Carrie offers up a different, signature fashion statement " her nameplate necklace in season 1, the flower pins in season 2, then Fendis, then gloves, then hats,....
Carrie's friend, Samantha Jones, is a high-powered PR executive who just happens to have a killer body! By day, she wears suits in bold colors that show off her curves. But by night, watch out! Samantha really turns it up with some extremely racy ensembles that leave very little to the imagination!
Pragmatic Miranda Hobbes has a more austere outlook on her daytime fashions. As a lawyer, she dresses in smart, tailored suits to maintain her professional image and get the job done. She's also the most laid back of the four when it comes to weekend wear, prefering jeans and sweats to frilly skirts and stilettos. She can, however, when called upon, come up with some eyecatching evening wear that keeps up with the other girls just fine. And that red hair makes her a real stand-out in the crowd.
And then there is Charlotte. Charlotte York, whose wardrobe reflects her Park Avenue lifestyle. All pastels and coordinated, with matching accessories. Her crisp, refreshing take on fashion often makes her appear prim and sometimes grim, but watch when the girls go to Atlantic City! She can haute it up with the best of them!
No discussion of Sex And The City would be complete without including some of the men. And who best to start with than Mr. Big? Even though we learn his first name in the final episode of the series, I'll still always think of him as "Big". Played by actor Chris Noth, we see Mr. Big in 3 outfits - a Black Armani suit, a Black limo, ....or a bed! Hmmmmm...which do you prefer?!
Steve Brady, Miranda's beau and future husband, is every guy's guy. Jeans and a T-shirt are all it takes to make this man happy. In fact, in one of the earlier episodes, Miranda has to buy him a suit! Nothing at all wrong with that, I say. He's cute, he's charming, he has beautiful blue eyes and he believes in monogamy. How many guys do YOU know that fit that description?
Charlotte's lawyer, and eventual soul mate, Harry Goldenblatt appears most often in suits as well. As a successful divorce attorney, that's what he needs to wear to win his cases. Short, bald, hairy, and a little lacking in the social graces, he's so dedicated to Charlotte that she eventually converts to Judaism so she and Harry can be married.
And last, but certainly not least, there's Jerry Jerrod, aka Smith. An aspiring actor and fashion model, we see Smith in everything from suits to jeans to leather to...nothing! And his hair goes from long to short, eventually to bald as he shaves his head to support Samantha in her fight against breast cancer.
