Sex And The City – The Characters

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,….

Samantha Jones, one of the Fab Four, is a high-powered, high-class public relations executive. And, as such, she needs to dress professionally during the day. Not toooo professionally, mind you. Her suits are an awesome mix of vivid colors that go wonderfully with her blond hair and show off her killer body.

Another of Carrie’s dear friends, Miranda Hobbes, chooses to dress a little more professionally during the day. As an attorney, her position calls for smart, dark suits, and she wears them very well. She prefers sneakers and sweats on the weekends but in the evening, watch out! This redhead is a real knockout!

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!

Steve Brady prefers his jeans and T-shirts above all else. He doesn’t even own a suit. In fact, when he finally needs one, Miranda buys it for him. But who can resist this boyish, fun-loving guy with big, blue eyes and an even bigger heart?

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, 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!
