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.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
