Sex And The City – The Characters
August 11th, 2009 by Lola Jasminia, under Movies. No Comments
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…..
One of Carrie’s dearest friends, Samantha Jones is a high-powered PR executive by day – wearing beautiful, designer suits of vivid colors with figure hugging styles. In the evening, though, watch out as Sam changes into her TRUE colors to show the vixen that she really is!
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!
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!
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!
I don’t know how Miranda was able to resist Steve Brady for so long! Those beautiful blue eyes behind those glasses get me every time! Jeans and a T-shirt are his attire of choice and I think we only see him in a suit a couple of times throughout the whole series. In fact, the first suit he wears, Miranda has to buy for him!
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, 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!
