Undoubtedly one of the biggest style icons on the show and in pop culture at the time was Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker). From the onset of season 1 in 1998, fans saw Carrie in a variety of incredible and sometimes bizarre outfits. One staple was her full-length fur coat, which was often worn as a look in itself. Paired with lacy capris and leopard-print heels, the coat gave Carrie an aura of effortless glam.

Although Charlotte York (played by Kristin Davis) was one of the more prim and proper characters on "Sex and the City," she occasionally turned up the dial on her fashion. On season 5, Charlotte rocked knee-high boots, a skin-tight black miniskirt and a gorgeous pink wool jacket, giving a punch of sexy color to her edgy look.

Miranda Hobbes (played by Cynthia Nixon) rocked the perfect non-traditional wedding dress during season 6 of "Sex and the City" in 2003. Instead of a typical white gown, Miranda wed Steve in a burgundy velvet suit and gold slingback heels. The look was completed with a fall-themed auburn-hued bouquet.

Le sigh! Carrie's Atelier Versace Couture Mille Feuille gown worn for the "An American Girl in Paris Part Une" episode during season 6 of "Sex and the City" was one of the most glamorous looks of the entire series. The sequined dusty blue-gray gown with layers of tulle (which Carrie famously fell asleep in) made her look like royalty.
_
Of course, Carrie wasn't the only one with style on "Sex and the City." Public relations maven Samantha Jones (played by Kim Cattrall) could rival Carrie's fashion prowess on any given day. On the season 2 finale, "Ex and the City," Samantha looked smokin' in this figure-hugging little red dress with a zebra-print purse.
_
We can't help but adore this casual yet ultra-sexy look Carrie wore during the show's second season. Our favorite fictional writer looked like an off-duty model in her figure-flattering burnt orange top, dark low-rise denim and brown shoulder bag. She topped off the city-girl-chic look with two layered necklaces including her go-to "Carrie" nameplate.

One of Carrie's go-to fashion staples on "Sex and the City" was a basic white tank top. In this pic from season 3, Carrie's dressed up her tank with a gorgeous floral pin on her shoulder. Her pastel-pink skinny pants were paired with a cute white jacket and a white-and-gold Dior purse.

When Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw started wearing a "Carrie" nameplate necklace on the show, every woman everywhere had to have one. We still remember sharing that soul-crushing feeling when Carrie lost her iconic necklace!
_
We love this friendship! During the first season of "Sex and the City" in 1998, Carrie wore this gorgeous neutral outfit, and we're not sure what we liked more — her camel-colored coat or her neutral tank top beneath it! As for her bestie, Stanford Blatch? Well, he looked casual and cool in his black-and-white get up complete with an adorable brimmed hat.
_
Miranda was often too busy being a bad-a** lawyer on "Sex and the City" to worry about her style, but occasionally even she knew how to make our jaws drop. During season 3 of the series, Miranda hit the streets in this belted black dress with an exaggerated collar, giving her a seriously enviable hourglass shape and just a touch of drama.

Carrie rocked some of her best looks while living in Paris during season 6 of "Sex and the City." She wore a beautiful baby blue coat, black turtleneck, white fur hat and white mittens and carried a soft gold clutch while checking out the window display for her book in a Parisian bookstore.
_
Carrie was never shy about adding headgear to her looks on "Sex and the City." On season 4 in 2001, she rocked this chocolate pageboy hat with a navy pinstriped capri suit and pointy-toe white heels on her way to walk boyfriend Aiden's dog. She matched the menswear ensemble with a neutral bag and (of course) a fashion magazine in her spare hand for further studying.
_
Even though Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker famously feuded after "Sex and the City," the women never failed to bring it when the cameras were rolling. In this scene still from season 4, Samantha and Carrie walked down the street wearing eye-popping bold colors. We can thank the show's stylist, Patricia Fields, for these vibrant looks, including Carrie's adorable black bow-tie belt, sunshine yellow heels and matching purse.
_
Charlotte had another enviable fashion moment on season 6 of "Sex and the City." Her midriff-revealing black halter top and flowing, floral-printed skirt were nothing like the buttoned-up looks she'd worn in earlier years on the series. We're totally feeling the wide belt and small white handbag she accessorized the look with too.
_
Carrie Bradshaw's white tutu and pale pink tank top ensemble is one of her most iconic and memorable looks of the whole series. Too bad we really only saw it in the credits while she narrowly avoids getting splashed by a passing bus advertising her newspaper column on the side. How fortuitous!
_
Samantha never missed a mark — and that's a fact. During season 5 of "Sex and the City," the hot-shot PR exec turned heads in this strapless sparkly blue confection, which she paired with a delicate statement necklace, simple hoop earrings and a metallic clutch.
_
Carrie was all about high fashion during season 6 of "Sex and the City." In this scene still, Carrie's wearing an off-the-shoulder Richard Tyler floral dress with asymmetrical ruffle detail — and we're in love. Not only is the look totally romantic, but it drapes across her figure perfectly. The dress was matched with gold heels and a soft pink bag, which elevated it from sexy to sophisticated.

Even dressed down, Carrie somehow looked ready for a photo shoot. In this 2002 picture, Carrie is walking the streets of NYC in cuffed denim shorts with an oversized bohemian top that revealed her lacy black bra underneath. Her look was accessorized with a colorful head wrap, black Manolo Blahnik heels and a baby-pink bucket bag. Tres chic! Fun fact: At the time of this pic, Sarah Jessica Parker was very pregnant with her first child, James Wilkie Broderick.

On season 4 of "Sex and the City," Carrie and Samantha proved prints can be a whole lot of fun. Carrie opted for neutral colors and a tartan scarf to accentuate her gorgeous jungle-themed green skirt while Samantha contrasted plum gloves and an indigo bag with a fur-trimmed white jacket and harlequin-patterned gold-and-violet slacks.

On season 4 of "Sex and the City," Carrie gave us all style goals with this black-and-white Prada skirt and floral-print Marni jacket. Paired with a white crop top and matching heels, Carrie made grocery shopping seem glamorous.

Charlotte always looked her best — even when she made the gut-wrenching decision to sell her stunning Tiffany engagement ring. During this season 4 scene, the Park Avenue beauty looked cute and classy in a plaid blue strapless dress with a keyhole cut-out.

On season 6 of "Sex and the City," Miranda and Carrie welcomed summer in full skirts with heels. While Carrie opted for a playfully patterned blue '50s swing dress, Miranda went for a two-piece look with a creamy pleated skirt and colorful blouse.

After losing her hair to chemo, Samantha, like many women with breast cancer, struggled with her self-esteem. That is, until she found the perfect pink wig to wear on the red carpet for boyfriend Smith Jerrod's movie premiere on season 6 of "Sex and the City." Paired with a white faux-fur jacket and a sexy black dress, Samantha's vibrant locks took center stage.
_
On season 5 of "Sex and the City," Carrie descended the stairway in this dazzling black-and-white Anna Molinari flapper dress with lace and peacock feather details. Paired with a black wrist corsage and dewy makeup, Carrie looked like a pin-up girl from the 1920s.
_
If Charlotte had one main style throughout "Sex and the City," this look from season 5 captures it. Wearing a silk blouse with a pleated neckline tucked into a pastel pencil skirt (a la a 1950s housewife), Charlotte looked ready to sip a martini while whipping up a gelatin salad. Carrie, on the other hand, always managed to keep her look intriguing. Her simple purple-and-black striped blouse delivered extra drama when paired with an asymmetrical two-tone sweater with a button closure.
_
The sixth season of "Sex and the City" memorably saw Carrie gallivanting around Paris in the finest, most luxurious of looks including this structured coral pink frock by Oscar de la Renta, which she famously wore from the ballet to a burger joint. We also loved the silver heels she paired with the couture confection.

Carrie got the chance to be a runway model for a celebrity fashion show during season 4 of "Sex and the City." Prior to hitting the catwalk, she tried on a variety of amazing dresses including this slim-fit floral-print Dolce & Gabbana number.

On season 6 of "Sex and the City," Carrie was cozy in a cable-knit sweater, loose-fit blue jeans and lace-up suede and fur boots. Samantha was working an edgier vibe with her vibrant yellow leather jacket, black turtleneck dress with matching gloves and sharp-heeled booties.
_
Carrie couldn't have looked more flawless when she met Big during season 2 and said the iconic breakup words: "Your girl is lovely, Hubble." She rocked a white scoop-neck silk dress with her iconic "Carrie" necklace, clear heeled sandals and a black tassel bag.
_
Samantha Jones knew how to make her wardrobe work for her on "Sex and the City." In this season 3 pic, she was on the prowl while wearing a sexy deep-V sequined halter mini. She paired the dress with a tiny white purse and glittery silver drop earrings, then worked the room with her come-hither stare. We're smitten.
_
Season 3 of "Sex and the City" had no shortage of casual-cool street-style moments, and this getup worn by Carrie — a classic combo of a simple white tank and jeans — was certainly no exception. She elevated the look with a long pale blue coat, a black hat and, of course, her "Carrie" nameplate necklace.
_
During season 5, Carrie decided the only lover she needed in her life was her beloved New York City. To mark the occasion, she goes on a date with the city wearing a baby pink bow blouse, a pleated rainbow chiffon skirt and a vibrant orange jacket. Her colorful ensemble was accessorized with a green felt hobo bag and black-and-white kitten heels.

In this season 4 pic of Carrie from the "Sex and the City" episode "I Heart NY," she's rocking a colorful metallic brocade MoMo SoHo jacket over a black accordion-pleated Michael Kors georgette satin and lace camisole dress with to-die-for pink Sharon sandals from Christian Louboutin. Carrie wore the sumptuous outfit for her last date with Big before he left for Napa (to give him something to remember). Unfortunately, her shoes didn't last long as a very pregnant Charlotte's water broke on them toward the end of the episode, which was dedicated to NYC after the 9/11 tragedy.
_
Technically, Carrie didn't wear this stunning pink coat dress on "Sex and the City," but it was a look she rocked for a photo shoot leading up to the season 5 premiere in 2002. The knee-length baby-pink dress featured shimmery silver and rhinestone embellishments on the shoulders and heavy black embroidery, giving Carrie a look of 1960s couture.
_
On the series finale of "Sex and the City," Carrie ended the show on a high-fashion note. Wearing her beloved full-length fur coat (that made several appearances over the years beginning on season 1), a pleated tulle and satin skirt, a baby blue wrap blouse, a hot pink scarf and flaming red Manolo Blahnik heels, she made it clear that no matter what happened in her life going forward, she was always going to slay.
_
During season 6 of "Sex and the City," Carrie debuted one of her coziest looks of the series — A cropped pink sweater with a free-flowing cream top beneath it, dark pants and a statement clutch. The laidback look definitely marked a departure from her typical high-fashion moments.

Kristin Davis showed off her inner "Park Avenue Pollyanna" when she wore a pale blue floral-print strapless dress with dangling silver earrings and a beige clutch during season 5 of "Sex and the City."

Carrie wore this colorful number while walking the streets of New York City during season 2. She paired her pink, green and orange printed frock with a metallic belt, a rich gold purse, sandals and her "Carrie" necklace.
_
Very few women can pull off an A-line watermelon dress but Carrie managed to do just that while exploring Paris on season 6 of "Sex and the City." Our favorite fictional writer complemented the red polka-dot dress with white pumps, a black A-line coat and a floral brooch.
_
Samantha Jones brought Old Hollywood glamour to Miranda's friend's wedding during season 2 when she wore a stunning gold strapless satin gown with gorgeous flower-shaped diamond earrings. Chic!
