A Look Back at the Best Style Moments of ‘Sex and the City’ on Its 20th Anniversary 

Sex and the City debuted on HBO two decades ago on June 6, 1998 and from that day forward, our attitude towards boundary-pushing fashion, cosmopolitans and bachelors was never the same again. From Carrie’s quirkiest fashion moments to the iconic group ensembles that Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha wore to their fabulous girls’ nights out, the style on the show (at the helm was the fashion icon Patricia Fields) is endlessly inspiring 20 years later. Pour yourself a cosmopolitan, kick up your Manolos and check out some of the most iconic looks from Sex and the City in honor of it’s 20th anniversary. Then go remix your wardrobe. To Sex and the City — 20 and fabulous as ever.

The Finale 

Who could forget the final SATC scene when Carrie walks out of frame wearing the fur coat we met her in from Season 1. Best part: she finally names Big. Well, second best part, because her outfit is major.

Final Group Montage 

The ladies made their exit from Cafeteria in the series finale wearing looks that were very much their own: Miranda wearing smart, yet colorful plaid. Charlotte in dainty houndstooth. Carrie wearing a slinky dress and a white coat. And of course, Samantha wearing a bright blue coat with orange boots.

What better time to run into your ex than when you’re at a fabulous Hamptons hoedown wearing a cowboy hat, a cropped tube top and an A-line skirt that shows off your killer abs.

The Carrie Moment

Carrie finds her signature necklace and dashes into the city of Paris in a tulle dress reminiscent of her skirt from the opening credits. She runs into the arms of Mr. Big. A full-circle moment.

Brunch Beauty

Let’s face it, Carrie Bradshaw invented the bodycon t-shirt dress for brunch. Add aviators and a Gucci handle bag and you’ve got the look down pat.
