What Would Carrie Bradshaw Wear?

Best and Worst throughout six seasons and two movies

What Would Carrie Bradshaw Wear?

It’s been a whopping 11 years since the last episode of "Sex and the City" aired (I still watch it to this day, both the show and the movies). I learned many life lessons throughout the series about boys, friends, food, NYC, jobs, and just life in general. I relate to Carrie Bradshaw on so many levels. While I’ll miss all of that, what I’ll miss the most is CARRIE BRADSHAW’S FASHION. CB always surprised us with the most shocking outfits, whether they were to die for or needed to be killed. So, as a tearful ode to my favorite HBO drama, here’s a look back at some of the style standouts of the six seasons and two movies I so happily watched.

BEST:

Classic Carrie Bradshaw

The sleek, slimming, dresses that sat perfectly on her body. It was the world’s introduction to the one woman that would have the power to capitalize on everything women adore about fashion.

The Tutu

If there ever was a piece of fashion that summed up CB, it would have to be the tutu.

New Year's Best

Such an emotional moment as Carrie rushes through the streets of NYC in her signature fur look, to accompany a sad Miranda on New Year's Eve.

Stylin' While Skatin'

Because why wouldn’t you dress like this to go ice skating?

A Dior Reunion

That heart melting moment when Carrie saw Aidan again in Abu Dhabi? Dior (and Aidan) have never looked so good.

Love

In this stunning dress Carrie recites a poem at a wedding about love. But, Mr. Big is too busy picking up a cell phone call to sit and listen to itThe Power of the Flower

During the second and third seasons, Carrie wore over-sized flowers fairly often. This one marks the moment she first laid eyes on Aidan Shaw.


I Heart NY

This outfit was certainly memorable. Not only was it the outfit Carrie wore on her farewell date with Big before he left New York, but it was also made famous when Miranda went into labor, and her water broke on Carrie’s shoes. The episode was titled “I Heart NY” and was dedicated to the city after the tragedy of 9/11.

The BIG Time

How can we forget the dress that Carrie wore in Paris when Big FINALLY confesses his feelings?

The White Dress

The simple but amazing white dress from the Sex And The City 2 movie.


A Lot Going On

This outfit has a lot going on, but CB manages to make it look flawless. (feat. her signature fur coat).

High End Dramatics

The fab dress she wore when she accompanied Charlotte to the Opera, but left dramatically when she saw Big with Natasha, a.k.a. the idiot stick figure with no soul."


The Wedding Dress

How can we forget the incredible Vivienne Westwood creation? Although CB had a horrible day, she still looked FAB!

WORST:

Keeping it Casual


CB wanted to "keep it casual" for her date with Berger.

Put a Belt On It

Maybe CB should've put the belt around her waist, not mid stomach. This outfit would've made best look without the belt!

CB Back In The Day

Okay maybe I should be a little more lenient since this was the fashion back in her day. BUT, it is not the fashion now and should stay back in the 80's.

Extra, Extra! Read All About It

The Dior newspaper print dress made two separate appearances when it should've made ZERO. Cute idea, horrible outcome.


The Cowgirl

Not your average cowgirl look, and it should be left that way. While CB is beautiful, she should leave this in the back of her closet or kick it out altogether.

Baring It All

Just because it's Gucci doesn't make it okay to wear around your waist, sorry not sorry CB.

Bondage Pearls

Do I even have to say what's wrong with this? Pearls should be pearls, not bondage.


The Polka Dot Disaster

Towards the end of the series, CB settles in Paris and wears this ensemble. She then steps into a pile of dog poo, which I think was speaking to her about her fashion choice that day.


What Is This

I have no words. This was such a horrible choice.

The Blue Blow Up

The lilac dress underneath looks like it could be fab, but the blue off the shoulder blow up ruins its chances.

Mean Green

I'm a lover of the color green, but this is too much. She should've kept either the dress or the coat, not both together.


Rainbow

I think this dress has potential, minus the black bow, minus the yellow shoes and minus the yellow bag.

And the Worst

One, the colors don't mesh well. Two, WHY?

Many stylish female leads have come and gone in TV land, but none of them have quite left their mark like Carrie Bradshaw. From the moment she appeared on screen women everywhere began to bow down to the one female that could truly pull off any look. Not only did Carrie Bradshaw take fashion to the next level, but she single handily changed the face of high end brands like Manolo Blahnik, Dior, and of course Chanel. Without Carrie, women may not be as brave with fashion as they are today.

PSA: These best and worsts are in no particular order.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
