Recreate Iconic Carrie Bradshaw Outfits

As a NYC girlie, you'd think I grew up watching Sex & The City. Other than the fact that I was 2 when the first episode aired, it's pretty much the type of show I would have loved as a teenager. I watched my first episode in 2020 during lockdown and was hooked. Not only am I obsessed with the show, I'm a big fan of Carrie's style. Let's recreate some of her iconic looks.

Outfit Inspo

Recreating Carrie Bradshaw's iconic outfits isn't just about mimicking her style—it's about putting our own unique spin on her legendary looks. By incorporating pieces from contemporary fashion labels like Aritzia, Princess Polly, Nordstrom, JW Pei, and more, we can add a fresh perspective while paying homage to Carrie's fashion legacy.

We're not merely replicating her looks; instead, we're taking inspiration from various sources. It's a creative process that's all about reinvention and self-expression. Each piece selected is chosen deliberately, with careful consideration of how it complements our individual aesthetic. And while we may draw from Carrie's wardrobe for inspiration, we're not bound by any chronological order or obligated to include every famous ensemble—no, the newspaper dress won't be a part of this particular outfit recreation.
