Her expertise lies in translating trends into wearable, relatable style and helping readers shop smarter, not louder.

She studied at Delhi Public School and graduated from Miranda House, University of Delhi in 2019, where she also wrote for the college magazine. She later completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Advertising and PR from MICA, Ahmedabad.

New York City had Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte and now, it has you. If you’ve ever paused an episode of Sex and the City just to drool over an outfit (guilty!), you’re in the right place. We’ve recreated some of the most iconic vibes from the show with budget-friendly picks that scream luxury, attitude, and girl power.

From Carrie’s chaotic-chic to Charlotte’s Upper East Side elegance, consider this your fast-pass to fashion fabulousness. Grab your heels, a martini, and let’s strut down memory lane, Manolos optional (but highly recommended).

Top outfits from Sex and The City:

Carrie Bradshaw: The queen of quirk

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. It’s flirty, loud, and totally chaotic, in a ‘spontaneous brunch in Soho’ kind of way. Add some leather stiletto pumps and you’re instantly ready to type out life lessons from your window while sipping coffee and avoiding your ex...again.

Channel Carrie’s fashion journalism with this statement piece. The print’s loud, the colours are louder and we wouldn’t have it any other way. This dress doesn’t whisper; it screams vintage New York glam. Pair it with confidence and some attitude.

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.

Charlotte was all about grace, poise, and pastel perfection. Recreate her classic sweetheart vibe with a strapless bodycon dress that’s perfect for gallery dates or dramatic apologies. Top it off with embellished stilettos that shine just like Charlotte’s pearls and her idealistic take on love.

Soft, sweet, and absolutely stunning; this dress is pure Charlotte energy. Whether you’re brunching or blushing, it hugs in all the right places and radiates romance.

Because even good girls need a little sparkle. These goreous heels say “I believe in love” but also “I’ll walk away flawlessly if you ghost me.” Classic with a kick.

Fashion fades, but SATC style? Forever fabulous. Whether you're a Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, or Charlotte or all four depending on the day; these looks bring NYC chic to your closet without maxing out your credit card. Go ahead, click “add to cart”, your inner fashionista is calling.
