Episode One, Season One
When Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha first raised their Cosmos in a toast in 1998, we knew we were seeing something deliciously new. What followed were six seasons and a feature film full of fashion, fetishes, foibles and—most of all—friendship that kept us hooked through to the end.
Carrie Bradshaw
When it came to love, Carrie made all the wrong choices. But when it came to shoes? Hardly a single misstep. Thanks to Carrie we will always keep our Manolos, Choos and nameplate necklaces close to our hearts.
Miranda Hobbes
How many times in Miranda's early days did she swear off sex? Fabulously successful, Miranda was often the whiskey to Carrie's champagne—and she was hell-bent on staying that way. Now a married mom living in Brooklyn, Miranda is still the consummate career girl, but she has shown her softer side—in her clothes as well as her character.
Charlotte York
Charlotte went from cute, preppy and Waspy to cute, preppy and Jewish. In six seasons, her hairstyle hardly changed. But there's more to Ms. York than pastel sweater combos: After a divorce and miscarriage, the Park Avenue princess seems like a more weary—and much wiser—woman than the girl who had been waiting around for her perfect prince.
Samantha Jones
She may have gone through the most (lesbianism, breast cancer, bright-orange pubic hair), but of the fierce foursome, Samantha changed the least. Still kid-free, successful and an unrepentant sexpot, the bombshell begins the film "settled" with Smith in—of all places—Malibu, Calif. Don't worry—the sexy lady won't stay out of her city for long.
SATC: The Movie
We still remember how excited we were to catch up with the girls when the movie hit theaters back in May. And after months of rumors and on-set photos, the movie had finally become a reality.
