The opening of Sex and The City is still the most iconic scene of the movie series where Carrie walks down the street in her legendary Tulle skirt. This skirt became her trademark and was later seen on the runway on many celebrities like Bella Hadid and Jennifer Lawrence just to name a few. Charlotte’s love for pink brought it back on the runway, in different shades and styles whether it be a skirt, an exotic dress or in pants – pink was everywhere. Suits weren’t commonly seen on women, but Samantha Jones made you want to wear one, and not just in plain black, but in different vibrant colors. These women changed the fashion industry with their flamboyant, unique styles and combinations- that even inspired fashion designers on the runway. Whether you lived in Upstate New York or in a small town, you wanted to be one of these exquisite women, who weren’t afraid to mix and match different tastes and styles.
