Sex And The City – The Characters

by Lola Jasminia

If you're going to watch Sex And The City to try to figure out exactly what "style" the main character, Carrie Bradshaw, is, then forget it. Carrie has no set "Style" and you'll just drive yourself insane. As the most fashion-forward member of the group, Carrie's closet contains an eclectic mix of vintage, retro, Gap and haute couture. The mix is quite outrageous and extremely fun! Featuring Manolos almost constantly, Carrie also offers up a different signature fashion statement every season. Beginning with her nameplate necklace in season 1 and continuing on with flower pins, Fendi bags, gloves, 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.

Miranda Hobbes, the pragmatic member of the group, has a more austere style for daytime wear. As an attorney, she prefers power suits to get the job done. Her weekend wear is perhaps the most casual of the Fab Four, preferring sweat pants to frilly skirts. However, her choices in evening wear combined with her flashy, red hair, make her a stand-out in any 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!

And what about the men of Sex And The City? Certainly no discussion of the characters would be complete without including Mr. Big. Although his first name is finally revealed in the final episode, and we also learn his full name in the movie, we'll still call him Mr. Big. And being the successful New York businessman that he is, we see him most of the time in Armani....or nothing!

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?

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 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.
