The Characters Of Sex And The City

By Lola Jasminia

The fashions that can be found in Carrie Bradshaw's closet are almost as much a star of the show as she is. Included among the racks you'll find retro, vintage, Gap and haute couture for and outrageous and fun mix of styles. The most fashion forward of the bunch, Carrie constantly mixes it up and adds a little special something each season by including her signature touches of huge flower pins, Fendi bags and of course, the Manolos!

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!

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!

The man who eventually captures Charlotte's heart, Harry Goldenblatt, is short, bald, very hairy and somewhat of a schlupp. But he's so lovable! As an attorney, he dresses in smart, professional suits during the day. But in the morning and on his days off, he much prefers his birthday suit!

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!
