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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
