Carrie power-strutted through life in a tutu and a dream. Our modern twist? A multicoloured crepe newspaper dress that’s basically a tabloid-worthy headline on its own.

Miranda’s vibe was 90% sarcasm, 10% coffee, and 100% business-casual chic. We’ve channelled her no-nonsense spirit with a black blazer dress that’s sharp enough to close a deal and cool enough to open a bottle of wine. Complete the look with open block heels—because sensible can still be stunning.

Corporate? Check. Cool? Double check. This dress is Miranda in garment form—serious with a side of “don’t mess with me.” It says, “I have a meeting at 10 and a date at 8.”

The heels Miranda would wear after realising stilettos were a scam. They are chic enough for court while being comfy enough for chaos. We stan a practical queen.

Charlotte York: Classy, cute and courteous
