Carrie's style has turned the world's women's ideas of fashion and good taste upside down.
In the series, Carrie, in addition to many short-lived affairs, had several serious romances with men who meant a lot to Carrie.
Carrie is strong, witty and sexy. She never loses heart and never loses her sense of humor. Her weak point is shoes from famous designers such as Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, etc. Carrie's life is closely connected with her friends Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. The love of her life is Mr. BIG, whom she cannot forget throughout all six seasons. Carrie Bradshaw has become a role model for many modern women.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Carrie's favorite brand of shoes was Manolo Blahnik. This store became famous thanks to its most famous customer. Fashion and style in the series are worked out to the smallest detail, because Carrie, as a style icon, has always been on the verge of the peak of fashion and sharp bad taste. The outfit of the heroine Sarah Jessica Parker, which appears on the bus advertisement and the intro of the series - a white tutu, which the stylist of the series bought in some second-hand store for only five dollars - was iconic. This outfit was later used in different variations in Carrie's wardrobe, and in 2008 Alexander McQueen created a collection where the bulk of the outfits consisted of packs.
