Carrie Bradshaw
Samantha Jones

Natasha Naginsky
Carrie Bradshaw
Oh this one is an icon and a scent that definitely makes men weak in the knees. No wonder she was wearing it with Big too: in the second movie, there’s Lancôme Tresor in their shared apartment. Because love is a treasure, and Trésor evokes that feeli...
Lancome Trésor
We can also spot Dior addict in Carrie and Big's home and yes this is definitely one I can see Carrie smelling like! Actually it is a perfect fit for her wildness - this is how the brand described it: The Dior Addict woman is youthful, free spirited,...
Sounds like Carrie, right? It's a sexy and daring vanilla with sandal wood and tonka bean with an opening of florals. Very alluring and perfect for a night out.

Dior Addict Eau de Parfum
This (plus a hint of cig smoke) is something I totally think Carrie would wear if SATC was shot in 2024 as this is the IT scent of every real big city cosmopolitan girl recently. Musk, the heart of the scent, is refined by a synthesis of floral notes...
Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eau de Toilette
I think we all know Carrie would live for the bottle which is literally shaped after her passion: shoes. The Blush edition is a delicate reinterpretation of the original, softer and more playful than ever - a bit silly but super feminine and fashiona...
Carolina Herrera Good Girl Blush Eau de Parfum
A girl that owns 100 pairs of Manolo Blahniks could never be expected to stick to one fragrance. A mix of perfumes have been spotted throughout the SATC seasons and films: one of them is Hermes Eau d’Orange Verte which is described as a scent “inspir...
Hermès Eau d'Orange Verte - Eau de Cologne
Carrie’s glamorous lifestyle and still looking fab in her mid-thirties is only possible one way: good skin care. Well… she's known to use her oven as another place to store her clothes and drinks more cocktails than water, so she needs to hydrate her...
Clarins Cryo-Flash Instant Lift Effect & Glow Boosting Face Mask
When it comes to haircare I SWEAR by Davines products which is an all vegan natural professional line, and Carrie would absolutely benefit from them too - especially this curl tamer. Leave ins are a must to protect your hair from external damage like...
Davines LOVE Curl Controlling Cream for Curly Hair
Those curls defo need some taming and extra care to them! This styling cream doesn't weigh hair down but creates nice and bouncy curls and is totally approved by my curly haired friends. For those who do not know: curly hair is high porosity which ne...
Curl Light Defining Styling Cream
Judy Chin, Sarah Jessica Parker's MUA in the series revealed a lot of makeup products she used to get Carrie's iconic looks. For her base she used this Tarte Powder which she mixed with a tinted moisturizer to get that “your skin but better” look. Be...
Tarte Smooth Operator™ Amazonian Clay Tinted Pressed Finishing Powder
This was the concealer that was used on Carrie in the series aka the one that helped her cover all those eyebags even after her beloved nights out.
Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer
SJP's MUA Elaine Offers Woulard in “And Just Like That…” actually spilled some makeup products she used on her on set and this super practical Merit blush is one of them. The Flush Balm's buildable formula means it goes on light and can be easily ble...
Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush
Carrie loooves a nice, noticeable blush (she often looks like she is really blushing - or is she) and this cult favourite in the shade Orgasm (since Carrie Bradshaw knows good sex) just matches her perfectly. It's anyway a beautiful shimmery peachy p...
NARS Orgasm Talc-Free Powder Blush
Carrie loved a bold, fun eye look and the best way to get the same ‘90’s vibe without compromising on creasing and it coming off is this Armani liquid eyeshadow which her MUA also actually used for the series.
Armani Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow
The original eyeliner used for Carrie's eyes was MAC Powerpoint but since that one is discontinued I put you on one of the best black kohl eyeliners on the market. This is a combination of a gel eyeliner and an eye pencil: a hybrid "gel-feel" eyeline...
Huda Beauty Creamy Kohl Longwear Eye Pencil
If you are looking for Carrie's nude lip combo: this is it in the shade 44. I can totally see her needing some extra hydration for the lips after all those Cosmos - and this one does the job perfectly as it's a nourishing lip oil with the twist of gi...
YSL Loveshine Lip Oil Stick Shade: 44
This is a similar find to one of Carrie's most beautiful outfits which she wore in the show where it was like, it's happening, or it's not happening; he loves her, or he doesn't - alias when Carrie memorably fell into the lake with Big in season 3 we...
Pretty Lavish Katy ruffle maxi dress with split in pink floral
This could be Carrie's famous revenge dress (originally Dior) which she wore while watching Big leave his engagement party. Wearing white to a bridal festivity might be a no go, but the iconic character never fails to make a splash when breaking the ...
Bardot Audra Rib Midi Dress
Carrie loved this bold dress so much she would re-wear it multiple times. She originally wore it on season 3 when she apologized to Natasha for her affair with Big.
Atlanta Strapless Mini Dress Newspaper White
The iconic, the original, the beautiful pair of blue Manolo's that Carrie wore when she said “I do.” The pumps became an instant favorite among SATC fans, embodying Carrie's signature style: the perfect balance of ultra-glam and bold unconventionalit...
Manolo Blahnik Hangisi Crystal Buckle Pump
The originals! We all know about Carrie's parisian adventure - while it wasn't a fairy tale, the shoes are definitely worthy for one. Carrie wore the white Christian Louboutin Iriza pump while meandering through Paris and boom…
Christian Louboutin Iriza pumps
Let's go a step back from the originals (which prices can be a little far-fetched) and let me show you some heels that are perfect if you want to get Carrie's vibe just like these stylish kitten heels from Mango.
Heeled-heeled shoe with detail - Woman
A perfect playful yet elegant pair for the modern day Carrie Bradshaw.
Sam Edelman Bianka Slingback Pointed Toe Pump
Samantha Jones
Hello 911… I'm on fire! This is how you'll feel too after getting these Samantha Jones coded products.
I mean… what screams more Samantha than a perfume literally named Scandal? Oh, HONEY! This is a real maneater scent with a BOMB of honey which she would totally rock - and you will too if you like something that is sexy but sweet at the same time.
Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Perfume for Women Eau de Parfum
Samantha actually used this one according to her shelf and it's no surprise - this floral scent is just as unapologetic and bad*ss as her. A playful and unaplogetic fragrance with a floral scent.
Featuring succulent peach extracts, this soft floral gragrance, with its juicy fruits, blends effortlessly into notes of jasmine and white flowers, taking you on a soft floral journey of the quintessential English garden, which is delivered from the ...

Spring Flower Fragrance - Creed
Another one that she was actually using in the series: another musky floral which perfectly captures how alluring and flirty yet unreachable she was.
This perfume opens with brilliant fruits of raspberry nectar, white strawberry, and mandarin orange. Blooming florals at the heart fade into a flash of prismatic musks for a multi-faceted glow. A warm, decadent aura is created with vanilla, tonka, an...

No exaggeration: this is one of the most - if not the number 1 - compliment getters in the entire planet! And well, Samantha would live for the male attention this one gets. This perfume is provocative and sensual yet feminine and has a very nice and...
Versace Crystal Noir Eau de Toilette
Thankfully, the show was not shy to actually share the ladies' beauty secrets. If you very watching closely, you could spot that Samantha was using a lot of MAC, for example a gloss. And if you want to have the most amazing lip gloss - which is actua...
Lipglass Clear
This lip liner color is just insane! If you find browns too colorless but reds too bright and clown-ish, you need this shade and you will never go back. Put something lighter in the middle and your plump lips (that will also look bigger) are ready to...
Decade Enhance and Define lip pencil
Red lipstick is a powerful seduction weapon and Samantha of course knows how and when to use it so she won't mind a red here and there. But not just a red: Lady Danger is literally made for her - not only because of the name, but because this iconic ...
MAC Lady Danger Lipstick
It's not a bag, it's a Birkin. In the show we could be witnesses when a Birkin was only 4000 dollars… however, it's still as iconic and unattainable as ever.
Hermés Epsom Birkin 35
If you want a little Hermés feeling and style without the price tag, this bag is a great (and also quality!) option.
Top handle crossbody bag with twist lock in red
Kim aka Samantha's makeup artist literally shared she used this blush on her on the set of AJLT, and it's no surprise: this one is pigmented, bold and deep but still elegant just like her. The CT Pillow Talk is not only iconic in lip products but als...
Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic Blush - Pillow Talk Collection
To me Givenchy just screams Samantha and by the way… this concealer is totally amazing because it hydrates and covers at the same time. So if you are a fan of long nights like her, this is the go-to investment to show up as a boss lady the next day w...

Legendary Lashes Vol 2 - Volumizing Mascara | Charlotte Tilbury
“Oh honey… you wouldn't think I have these cheekbones naturally” - if you read this in Samantha's voice, you need to go and get it. But if you didn't but still want AMAZING cheekbones with something that is super creamy, easy to blend and well pigmen...
Westman Atelier Face Trace Contour Stick
I will just leave this one here, but if you know you know. Especially knowing how Samantha adores firefighters…
When Charlotte compliments Samantha on her incredibly glowy complexion, Samanthat reveals that it's all down to orgasms. Note to self - a bit of decent sex or self love could save you a pretty penny when it comes to skincare.

Progesteron cream natural from wild yam 3000 USP natural 4 fl oz
Samantha knows how holiday prep is essential - yes, we're talking down there. She is going Brazilian, but if you want to achieve the same smoothness with a razor, that comes with its drawbacks: the ingrowns. Luckily, whatever you go for, using this g...
Ingrown Hair Pads with BHA & AHA
That blonde needs an upkeep, baby! And the salty sweat from all that… you know. Leave-in conditioners are a must especially in the summer before any type of wet activity (of course I mean jumping in the pool or the ocean's salty water) because they p...
Blond Absolu Heat Protecting Leave-In Treatment for Blonde Hair
We could see Samantha was a fan of Dior skincare and I'm not surprised. This beauty essential you soon won’t be able to do without. It's ultra-compact design is as fashionable as it is practical, making it a must-have from the house. Take it with you...
Dior Skincare Le Baume: Revitalizing Balm for Hands, Lips and Body

Charlotte York
If we think Charlotte, we think classy, elegant, refined and traditional. Here are all the products you need to embody the same put-together vibe of hers!

Parfums de Marly Delina Eau de Parfum
Another scent we can actually spot Charlotte using. It is a classy fresh-floral scent which I can perfectly picture her wearing on the everydays. It's something you will like if you are into clean, skin scents that remind of fresh linen - or, as some...
Clean Ultimate Perfume
A perfume she is actually using in the show: on her second wedding day to Harry , which she so badly wants to be perfect, she has a bottle of Jean Paul Gaultier Classique. And it really is such a classic!
In the top notes delicate rose scent is spiced by fresh anis. Middle notes combine sweetness of orange blossom and exciting ginger, a powerful aphrodisiac. Vanilla and sensual amber gently embrace in the base.

Charlotte Tilbury Superstar Lips Lipstick - Pillow Talk Collection
Sticking with Charlotte Tilbury, Charlotte for sure was not wearing any heavy foundation. She on the other hand is always seen without any imperfections, pigmentation and has a super glowy complexion, which all of these you can achieve with Flawless ...

While Charlotte's whole aesthetic seems effortless, we shouldn't doubt she took her skincare and anti aging routine very seriously. And this cream is not only fitting that because of the pretty packaging: despite it being pricey it comes with concent...
Clarins Multi-Active Night Moisturizer for Lines, Pores, Glow with Niacinamide

Midi-Length Slip in Silk
I have to break the news: the first iconic character to wear headbands was not Blair Waldorf but Charlotte York. They are now also back in fashion so it's your time to show your beautiful face structure and get one of these!

A very close find to Charlotte's iconic pink dress which takes anyone's breath away.

Charlotte would have absolutely adored the classy cute ribbon detail on this dress and we cannot blame her for it.

Donna Karan New York Cashmere & Tiare Flower Perfume
This is how Natasha smells in my head: very clean, almost like freshly washed bedsheets (with a base of cashmere and sandalwood which is an ultimately classy combo), but with some added depth and coziness which in this case is created by a super inte...
Cecilia Bönström, artistic director of Zadig & Voltaire, said that the idea was to break from what already existed on the market and “to find a balance of something really clean and something darker, more mysterious.

Zadig and Voltaire Ladies This is Her! EDP Spray 3.4 oz (100 ml)
One of the best “quiet luxury” scents which I believe would have been a staple in Natasha's collection as she most likely opted for more clean, skin scents other than anything “screaming” or overpowering. This one smells like a fresh, salty sea breez...
This fragrance, just like its name suggests, is composed of ambrette seed, sea salt and sage, along with red algae and grapefruit.

Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne
The scent she was wearing when Big fell in love with her? Definitely this one. This is something I'd imagine her wearing for an event or a date. It's a beautiful vanilla fragrance, but not in the usual, sweet, candy, artificial way: this is the softe...
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Gentle Fluidity Gold Eau de Parfum
Natasha is definitely the one to invest more on her skincare and base other than covering her beauty with over-makeuping. She would love the now iconic La Mer moisturizer which helps to keep her skin young and fresh without any irritations.

Crème de la Mer Moisturizer
Natasha's makeup was all about the perfect base: you'd never catch her wearing a full face or a cakey foundation. As a lover of Chanel, this luminous foundation which hydrates the skin while creating a flawless base is a perfect match for her.
Chanel LES BEIGES Healthy Glow Foundation Hydration & Longwear
Chanel Rouge Coco Flash in the number 106 Dominant is the exact color I can see her wearing in the iconic scene of the lunch with Carrie where she basically ate her up. What an irony with the name!
This lipstick is also ultra hydrating and glides super easily which makes it a staple for the ladies that are opting for a timeless makeup vibe instead of the “baddie aesthetic” with the matte lips or being too much of a clean girl.

There is no Natasha look without her iconic pearl strands. This is a timeless classic that is a staple for the minimalist class and it's one of the most seductive accessories a woman can wear.

Camel Short sleeve turtleneck top Róhe Fine Merino Wool Shell
Another staple in the minimalist ‘90’s elegance wardrobe alongside the crisp white shirts, the slip dresses, the neutral colour-blocking and perfect tanks - this style is still chic as hell.
JDY textured 3/4 sleeve shirt in off white
There is just something about polo shirts - they are the perfect mixture of hot and the “wifey” material. Getting a quality one like this will have you a staple item for years in your wardrobe.
Ralph Lauren Women's Rib-Knit Polo Cardigan Top
Having the perfect white top that you can combine with anything in your capsule wardrobe is more important than you'd imagine. If you are still on search for the perfect quality one - get this.
