STYLE/CARRIE BRADSHAW'S STYLE

Daring and devil-may-care in her street style, Carrie is SATC's number one trendsetter

Carrie Bradshaw is certainly the boldest of the SATC girls, from the racy sex column she pens to her truly original fashion choices. She's also the most chameleon-like, so it's hard to pin down her look with any one word or phrase. Her style evolves not just from season to season, but within each episode: a casual bohemian look at lunch, demure elegance by dinner and flesh-flaunting club wear into the wee hours of the morning.

Whatever Carrie chooses to wear, though, it's guaranteed to take off. She goes out on fashion limb after limb and magically manages to pull it off every time. Remember the nameplate necklace and those floppy fabric flowers? If there's one lesson to take from her looks, it's go with your glam gut - and don't be shy!

Clothes
As a rule, Carrie's ensembles are quite attention-grabbing - especially when the attentions are those of an eligible bachelor. This is a woman who's not afraid to show a little skin and doesn't hesitate to flaunt her assets, particularly those great legs.

Shoes
For the diminutive Carrie, it's stilettos all the time. Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo are her labels of choice; Blahnik has even created the 'SJP', a sexy ankle-strap stiletto, in honour of Carrie's portrayer, Sarah Jessica Parker.

Bags
When it comes to her clutches and carry-alls, the quirkier the better is frequently Carrie's philosophy. The horse head and telephone bags from Timmy Woods stand out in recent memory, as do some of her more exotically sequined evening bags and that pink-feathered Valentino concoction. Then, of course, there's her logo obsession: Fs, Cs, Gs - if the bag is adorned with the initials of a major fashion house, Carrie owns it.

STYLE/SAMANTHA JONES' STYLE

Take a look inside this sex siren's wardrobe

Certainly the sauciest of the Sex and the City quartet, Samantha exudes confidence and sex appeal. This high-powered PR exec isn't afraid to strut her stuff in form-fitting power suits by day and clingy, cleavage-baring ensembles by night.

Sex and the City's resident siren embraces her curves and certainly doesn't shy away from flamboyant colour: racy reds, vibrant pinks and even over-the-top oranges.

Clothes
Always looking for a way to portray her intense sensuality, this blonde bombshell gravitates toward luxurious, skin-caressing fabrics and the occasional flashy animal print. A tie closure behind the neck is also perfect for a vixen like Samantha who likes to be able to disrobe at a moment's notice.

Bags
Samantha would be attracted to plush suede fabrics in soft camel or brown - the perfect neutral match for any ensemble. Her bag would also need to be big enough to accommodate Samantha's rather sizeable 'little' black book.

Shoes
Anything aggressive - with an intensely pointed toe - and/or with sexy stiletto heels or racy bright red leather.

STYLE/CHARLOTTE YORK'S STYLE

Slightly more demure than the rest of her SATC pals, Charlotte still looks sensational - here's how


This Park Avenue princess is certainly chic, but makes her statement with a more elegant, understated - and certainly more consistent - style than fashion risk-taker Carrie Bradshaw. Charlotte tempers the conservative style of her uptown pedigree with whimsical or girlie fashion choices that reflect her optimistic (some might say naive) world view. Her romantic sensibility often plays out in frills, ruffles, pastel hues and floral motifs.

Clothes
Charlotte isn't one to bare too much skin, but she still knows the power of her feminine form and often flirts it up with spaghetti straps here, flounces there. Every element of the outfit is always just so, though - even when she's going for weekend casual.

Shoes
Charlotte continues her feminine fashion sense with her demure footwear choices, guaranteed to match all those carefully appointed ensembles to perfection.

Bags
In line with her fashion credo, Charlotte's not looking for anything too flashy in the bag category. Simple totes and elegant shoulder bags are her rule of thumb.

STYLE/MIRANDA HOBBES' STYLE

From high-flying career woman to casual weekender, Miranda's style choices are revealed here


Miranda, the ambitious lawyer, is generally as practical in her wardrobe decisions as she is in her career choices. From her tidy no-fuss short hair to her smart, sensibly heeled shoes (none of Carrie's four-inch Manolos for her), Miranda favours clean lines, neutral colours and classic looks.

But although she's a bit more buttoned-up than her friends, Miranda isn't left in the fashion dust. On weekends, she'll wear a simple, body-skimming dress, accessorised to perfection, just as naturally as she wears tailored suits during the week.

Clothes
From nine to five, Miranda is most comfortable in flawlessly fitting separates, appropriate for a partner in a law firm. It's not all business all the time, though, so she'd probably go for something a little more daring underneath that suit. Anything that buttons up and resembles a conservative blazer until she takes off her jacket and shows a little more skin than expected is right up Miranda's street. When the sun goes down, she'd still maintain her Miranda-style polish and poise but loosen up a bit in a sexy slip dress.

Bags
Anything with a plethora of inside zip pockets would appeal to a type-A personality like Miranda. A night on the town calls for something a little more refined, though, like a sleek clutch bag. With no frills attached, a leather envelope-style bag is just the kind of no-nonsense fashion statement that a Miranda type is looking for.

Shoes
Any shoe with a delicate strap and a low kitten heel is perfect for Miranda's office ensemble. For an even sassier, more day-to-evening look, she'd probably opt for adorable slingbacks. On lazier days, Miranda would likely slip on flip-flops that still exude elegance.
