Sex And The City - The Characters

By Lola Jasminia

If you're going to watch Sex And The City to try to figure out exactly what "style" the main character, Carrie Bradshaw, is, then forget it. Carrie has no set "Style" and you'll just drive yourself insane. As the most fashion-forward member of the group, Carrie's closet contains an eclectic mix of vintage, retro, Gap and haute couture. The mix is quite outrageous and extremely fun! Featuring Manolos almost constantly, Carrie also offers up a different signature fashion statement every season. Beginning with her nameplate necklace in season 1 and continuing on with flower pins, Fendi bags, gloves, 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.

Miss Park Avenue, Charlotte York, is perhaps the most prim and proper of the characters on Sex And The City. Her perfectly coordinated designer wear is always crisp and fresh with nary a hair out of place. Even when she jogs, everything matches! And talk about evening wear! Charlotte is the reason little black dresses were invented!

As the Main Man on Sex And The City, Mr. Big is a successful New York businessman who prefers his Armani suits. And he wears them very well! We don't see Big in jeans or sweats. He's not that kind of guy. We see him in Black Armani, Black limos or....a bed!

I don't know how Miranda was able to resist Steve Brady for so long! Those beautiful blue eyes behind those glasses get me every time! Jeans and a T-shirt are his attire of choice and I think we only see him in a suit a couple of times throughout the whole series. In fact, the first suit he wears, Miranda has to buy for him!

Harry! Poor Harry. He's short, bald, hairy and has no social graces to speak of. But he's an attorney and he wears his suits well....when he wears them. And he's madly in love with Charlotte! Preferring to stroll around the apartment au natural, he does concede to Charlotte and don a pair of boxers in order to protect the white sofa.

And, finally, there's Smith. Samantha's man. Jerry Jerrod. As far as I'm concerned, this man is like the English Leather man...he can wear English Leather...or nothing at all! An aspiring actor when Sam meets him, she changes his name and uses a little of her PR magic to make him into one of the most sought after dishes in New York!
