10 Years of Sex: The best of Miranda and Charlotte style

by Jennifer Romolini, Shine staff, on Tue May 27, 2008 3:32pm PDT


Did you know? It's Sex and the City week here at Shine and, OK, readers, I have a confession to make: I have seen the new movie. And I suspect many of you will like it very much when it comes out...on Friday! Just three days away! In the meantime, though, let's just enjoy some SATC nostalgia. Starting with the underrated style of underrated characters Charlotte and Miranda (both of whom I totally love).
Do you have favorite SATC outfits? Tell me about them! I'll have a favorite outfits post later this week.


Charlotte:

I am especially partial to Charlotte in the first couple of seasons, when she had a sexy intellectual thing going, more than when she became a total Upper East Side preppy lady.

What I learned from Charlotte York: Well-done hair, subtle makeup and a classic pair of gold earrings can take a girl a long way.

Kristen Davis seriously knows how to work a little black dress.

Oh, she sure looked beautiful as Mrs. Trey MacDougal, but maybe not as much as...

...Mrs. Harry Goldenblatt.



Miranda:

You know, Cynthia Nixon had it a little tough. She was always the least femininely dressed, often in suits, always with really short hair. But I think she pulled it off beautifully, managing to look sexy beneath all the business-ness.

This outfit has a chic, European- woman-going-to-work vibe.

I gotta say, I think Miranda outshines everyone in this classy-sparkly v-neck.

Love the sharp cut of this top...

...this beaded necklace...

...and how this funky belt completely transforms a plain shirt dress.
Also: Miranda was worried about plastic bags long before the rest of us.

Sex and the City Fashion: Charlotte

Charlotte York is the most girly out of all the Sex and the City gang and her classic feminine style perfectly matches her Park Lane hosuewife dreams.

Kristin Davis' Charlotte character may be a successful art gallery manager but she dreams of being a kept woman and living the high life and this is reflected in the way she dresses.

Charlotte loves all things pretty and wears lots of vintage floral prints and cute bows. She aspires to be the perfect wife so shows off her feminity without being in-your-face sexy.

This doesn't mean Charlotte can't pull out a totally hot evening look when it's called for. Her 'butter wouldn't melt' smile makes way for killer curves when the girls hit the town.

The classic Little Black Dress is perfectly Charlotte because it shows off her fab body without being too brazen.

When she decided she didn't want to be an frumpy bridesmaid in series two Miss York rocked this sexy halter dress and bagged herself a fling with the best man.

Charoltte may be best known for her prissy pearls and classic afternoon tea dresses but she knows how to make a statement when she chooses. After she suffered a tragic miscarriage in series 6 she was keen to show the world the strong woman inside and what better way than stepping out in this hot pink dress.

When it comes to true feminine style Charlotte is definitely top of her game. Her fashion might not be as wild as Carrie's or sexy as Samantha's but she sets free that girly side we all have within us.
