You'd be hard-pressed to reflect on legendary television fashion moments without mentioning Carrie Bradshaw's best outfits. Of the iconic friend group of Sex and the City, Miranda boasted logic and stability, while Samantha always demonstrated how to be bold and tell it like it is. Charlotte was the sensitive, devoted friend, and Carrie served up iconic outfits like it was her job. Though she wrote a column about the woes of relationships in the modern age, you'd actually think she was a fashion editor — because the girl knew how to dress. With holiday season officially upon us, now is the time to lean into glitzy, bold trends, and who better to look towards than Bradshaw herself.

From Carrie's musings on modern love to her love affair with Manolo Blahniks, she was relatable in more ways than one. Throughout the six seasons the show aired, Bradshaw's style evolved, but she never stopped serving up iconic looks. The epitome of eclectic style, Bradshaw broke the "rules" of fashion on the daily. Whether mixing prints, testing out experimental millinery, or casually wearing hot pants to the grocery store, she was in a league of her own stylistically and loved pushing boundaries.

If you're not sure what aesthetic to go for, why not pull from the archives of one of TV's most daring style icons? That means busting out the velvet, and grabbing those glittery, glammed-out pieces you'd generally think twice about. Whether you're searching for the perfect gown for a fancy gala or just want to look chic at the office Christmas party, Carrie's got a look for that.
