10 Years of Sex: The best of Miranda and Charlotte style

Did you know? It's Sex and the City week here at Shine and, OK, readers, I have a confession to make: I have seen the new movie. And I suspect many of you will like it very much when it comes out...on Friday! Just three days away! In the meantime, though, let's just enjoy some SATC nostalgia. Starting with the underrated style of underrated characters Charlotte and Miranda (both of whom I totally love).
Do you have favorite SATC outfits? Tell me about them! I'll have a favorite outfits post later this week.


Charlotte:

What I learned from Charlotte York: Well-done hair, subtle makeup and a classic pair of gold earrings can take a girl a long way.

Kristen Davis seriously knows how to work a little black dress.















Oh, she sure looked beautiful as Mrs. Trey MacDougal, but maybe not as much as...

...Mrs. Harry Goldenblatt.











Miranda:

You know, Cynthia Nixon had it a little tough. She was always the least femininely dressed, often in suits, always with really short hair. But I think she pulled it off beautifully, managing to look sexy beneath all the business-ness.

This outfit has a chic, European- woman-going-to-work vibe.

I gotta say, I think Miranda outshines everyone in this classy-sparkly v-neck.

Love the sharp cut of this top...

...this beaded necklace...

...and how this funky belt completely transforms a plain shirt dress.
Also: Miranda was worried about plastic bags long before the rest of us.
