How to Dress Like Your Favorite TV Characters

Let’s be honest. There’s nothing better than occasionally putting your feet up and binging on your favorite TV show. Perhaps, like us, you’ve even been guilty of planning to watch one episode of the latest drama on Netflix and then, before you know it, a whole day and an entire season of the show have disappeared. If this sounds like you, then don’t worry, you’re not alone! When the time does come, however, when you have to put down the remote and leave the house, why not take a little bit of your favorite character with you? Wardrobe design for film and TV is bigger business than ever and there are countless amounts of stylish stars gracing our screens every week without fail. Here are 10 of the most iconic outfits from the most beloved on-screen girls.

Sex and the City

It would be impossible to make a list about fashion and TV shows without mentioning Sex and the City or its heroine, Carrie Bradshaw. The New York fashionista helped to set the style stakes in the nineties with her unique and uber cool dress sense. You don’t need to hail a Manhattan cab in impossibly high heels or long golden beach waves to get your Carrie on. Add a few of these nineties-esque accessories to any outfit and you’re sure to feel like the feisty columnist herself.
