The Characters Of Sex And The City
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.
Charlotte York is perhaps the most prim and proper of the group. Her perfectly coordinated pastels reflect her Park Avenue lifestyle. Always crisp and refreshing, she sometimes appears grim in her fashion taste. But we all know the truth, don’t we? Watch out Atlantic City!
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, 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?
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 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.
