It may have been 20 years since episode one of Sex and the City aired, but we’ve never felt more inspired by Carrie Bradshaw’s wardrobe. We can thank the show for giving us a truly modern fashion icon—with eclectic taste and an enviable wardrobe to match. As well as SATC’s stellar writing and depiction of female friendships, fans tuned in week after week to see what Carrie would wear on the streets of Manhattan.
Did every episode leave you with serious shoe envy and an overwhelming urge to shop? We thought so. The legendary lead’s one-of-a-kind style started trends that are still influencing our wardrobes today. Unexpected layering and a more-is-more mentality? Totally Carrie-inspired. Her unmistakable flair for style means she remains aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing muse to this day. Mention that fur coat or that tutu dress, and fashion fans’ ears prick up.
Everyone has their favorite Carrie look (it’s the white dress all the way for this writer), and we know we’re the only ones who added a flower corsage to a dress after Miss Bradshaw did it in the noughties. This week, while browsing the new-in sections, we got to thinking—so many of the hottest dresses this season seem incredibly Carrie-esque. Keep scrolling to see our picks, inspired by our favorite print-clashing, Manolo-obsessed protagonist.
In our opinion, this pink Oscar de la Renta dress was one of the best things to come from the Alexander Petrovsky romance.
This pink number will be a staple of your Carrie-worthy wardrobe.Available in sizes 2 to 12.
Die-hard fans will remember this outfit from season two’s “Hubble” moment. We think such a simple white dress is perfect heat wave attire.
Silk, corseted, and neutral? Three Carrie-approved trends in one dress.Available in sizes XS to L.
Carrie was never one to shy away from a bold print, and neither should you.
This is S/S 18 in dress form.Available in sizes 6 to 14.
Glamorous looks like these cemented Patricia Field as the costume designer of the moment. Dolce and floral? We love.
For a date with your Mr. Big.Available in sizes 36 to 44.

The rainbow trend? Carrie had that down long, long ago.
This dress is begging to be worn in the sun.Available in sizes 0 to 10.
This bow-strap dress is top of our new-in wish list.Available in sizes 6 to 14.
Ah, the snakeskin minidress. This might have been worn by Carrie back in 1998, but it’s so now.
We could see Carrie wearing this with a pair of statement heels of course!Available in sizes 0 to 3.
The “naked” dress is something every Carrie wannabe should have. Barely there but never boring.
We can see our favorite New York writer (and you) wearing this for Friday night drinks.Available in sizes XS to L.
Floaty, floral, and off the shoulder—perfection in dress form during any given year. Can we have those Perspex heels too, please?
If you haven’t already, it’s time to get on board with the slip-dress trend.Available in sizes S to L.
We don’t know what we’re enjoying more—the green striped dress or Charlotte’s bucket hat.
A striped dress is a summer must-have. Extra points if it’s in color-of-the-moment green.Available in sizes XS to XL.
She might be famed for her OTT outfits, but we think Carrie works the romantic trend just as well.
We adore the cut of this full-skirted dress. Consider your wedding guest outfit sorted.Available in sizes 0 to 14.
Carrie wore this asymmetric floral fringe dress on a trip to Los Angeles in season three. We’d like it to appear in our wardrobe immediately.
A weekend wonder if we ever saw one. Wear for brunch, drinks, or Sunday strolls. Available in sizes 40 to 46.
As Carrie famously said, you should keep your money where you can see it: hanging in your closet. We couldn’t agree more.
