10 Sex and the City outfits that are still stylish today
Trends come and go, but these Sex and the City outfits are forever. Though Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte walked their Manolo Blahnik’s onto our screens and into our hearts more than 20 years ago, many of the iconic outfits costume designer Patricia Field dreamt up remain as relevant to today’s fashion field as they were when Carrie and Aidan were still a thing.
From the pink Oscar de la Renta cocktail dress Carrie Bradshaw wore to the ballet with Alexander Petrovsky to Miranda Hobbes’ corporate America attire, ahead of the “And Just Like That…” reboot, let’s take a look back at ten outfits from the iconic TV series that remain totally and utterly relevant, even today.
- Miranda’s LBD
Miranda Hobbes is everything we imagined chic New York women to dress like growing up. Prime example: her belted little black dress and tote bag.
