Carrie Bradshaw
About
Carrie Bradshaw is the fictional narrator and lead character of the HBO sitcom/drama Sex and the City, played by actress Sarah Jessica Parker.
No one captures the lives of the lovelorn and the love-seeking in New York City better than columnist Carrie Bradshaw does.
She is well know for her good taste when it comes to fashion.
Fashion
On the HBO series, Bradshaw is a New York newspaper columnist, party girl, fashionista, and later, freelance writer for Vogue. She enjoys cocktails (particularly Cosmopolitans—her character’s fondness for them helped to popularize the drink), but she is, at heart, an old-fashioned girl, and is deeply romantic. Carrie has been described as someone who "lives for fashion," and has confessed to buying Vogue instead of dinner. Her friend Charlotte claims that Carrie dragged her to eight shows at New York’s Fashion Week. A fashion chameleon, Carrie can start her day looking like a streetwise pixie, change into a neo-bohemian outfit for lunch, don an elegant princess dress for dinner and slip into a skin-baring ensemble for a late-night party.
Favorite jewelry
Her favorite jewelry are Mikimoto Pearls. Kokichi Mikimoto made cultured pearls one of the world’s most prevalent fashion accessories.
Shoes
A known shoe lover with an affinity for expensive designer shoes (notably Manolo Blahniks, but also Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo), Carrie claims she has spent over $40,000 on shoes. Carrie is particularly known for her addiction to shoes, calling it her "substance abuse problem" in the episode "Power of Female Sex" in Season One.
Movie critics
Newsweek critic Ramin Setoodeh discusses the near-violent dislike for Sex in the City that many men, particularly male movie critics, have shown. "Movie critics, an overwhelmingly male demographic, gave it such a nasty tongue lashing you would have thought they were talking about an ex-girlfriend," Setoodeh says.
