how sex and the city changed fashion in the 2000s 🏙👠👜 

mines "I'm not pregnant, EVERYBODY DRINK!!" Classic Samantha lol

Meh

I love that one too because Samantha didn't even need questions.

@@kemistree. this is why I loved Samantha. She was always ready when it came to her friends

@@adafihj6439 Same. She couldn't care less about baby names, but knew it was important to Charlotte. I wish I had a friend like Samantha.

I think it does. It just isn't as popping with the younger gen z's yet bc they aren't old enough. Millennials, Gen x and above stan SATC DOWNN... Just wait 2-4 years. Im only 23 but my Mom loved the show so I grew up with it and most ppl i followed on socials (tumblr, twitter, insta) know the show

So Serena Van Der Woodsen was based on Carrie?

It’s transphobic and biphobic tho.

Mrs. Strife oh yes it is , and there are a lot of backwards and racist-seeming remarks from Charlotte , and some blatant ageism and some reallly anti semetic stereotypes totally agree with you , and we shouldn’t negate that . BUTTTTTT let’s be honest . The makeup, style and hair was off the charts. A lot of people (even me) were influenced and inspired. Let’s give credit where credit is STILL due

JaiProdz well I’m Only 16, and the show (from what I see ) gets a lot more Criticism, some of which is deserved ,than it does praise . I think that your right tho , in like 3 or so years SATC will get either more hate , or more style praise . Only time will tell

Or a shoe

I have a younger sister like this. She fell in love with shoes when she was about 2 years old. She would shriek from her pushchair as we walked past a shoe shop, demanding we stop. She had a lot of shoes starting pretty early. As a kid, her dream was to own a shoe shop. She took it all very seriously. As a teen, she worked in a shoe store and freaking loved it! Not kidding. She sent herself bankrupt in her early 20's over-shopping shoes but has been following a strict budget for ten years now. She has a massive shoe collection but for record, it's well organized, she doesn't have any doubles and they're well cared for. When she falls out of love with a pair of shoes, she sells it and because she takes excellent care of her shoes and has so many, a lot of them look like she never wore them. I did worry about her when she got a part-time job at a shoe shop while she was on mat-leave. Her husband gave up and built a room in the basement for her collection years ago. I love flying and have probably thrown away similar money traveling, so I'll keep my mouth firmly shut on my opinion about her shoe habits.

@Susan Fudge What do you mean, one of her shoes is enough to give out as loan. If your willing to pay for 400+ dollars on a shoe as a writer in New York then your rich with poor money habits!

@@runningfromabear8354 That was a ride. And I love your sister

@@runningfromabear8354 I wouldn't call traveling "throwing away money" lol.

Ugly ass shoes at That

Or sell the purses.

400k actually

@@parker6832 uhhh 400 x 100 = 40,000 not 400,000

she didn’t ask for the money. she wanted her friend to offer, as a gesture, which she was going to deny just like she denied Miranda and Samantha’s offers

She has that shoe collection because she never "fully launched" into adulthood. She's the archetypal "woman child". She embodied the "YOLO" way of life before it was even a hashtag.

Carrie is the Rachel Berry of the 90s.

@@jdvera6847 😂😂

She was very entitled

@@Chaotic_Pixie true

Omg, yes! Fashion is like 75% whack outfits on hot ppl and 25% actual fashionable/stylish/wearable clothing, like if you put the same outfits from the 75% on ppl over a size 14 suddenly it's not fashion, it's a mess ! Such BS double standards

C.p.2.0 no, it’s ugly both ways but people are blind. Whatever, as long as they’re happy

@@doctorwholover1012 +q A a

@@doctorwholover1012 Fashion is consumerism that exploit the insecurities of ppl ,be it expensive luxury, rare collectibles, brand name, seasonal fashion trends & the female body/face (the last one being particulary disgusting!). To me seasonal or decade long fashion has no credibility or longjevity at all. For me it's about style, confidence & self expression..."style never goes out of fashion,confidence never go out of style & the art of self-expression is all relative". Thrive in what you like to wear, what you can afford, what buisnesses you want to support & what products you won't support; for lack of diversity in campaigns or exploit cultural heritage without informing & giving back to these communities, factories that underpay workers & put their health at serious risk, products that abuse/test on animals or kill them for consumerism... I won't support non of that!

If it only looks good because the body it's on *looks good* , then it's probably not great.

as someone who works in journalism i can confirm that the amount of money carrie earned is NOT the norm (far from it in fact). but movies/tv have never been good at accurately portraying the reality of living/working in nyc.

@@ModernGurlz if you are in college, what is your major and what are you studying? I am still young(in middle school) but I need help on deciding what to do with my life. Please give advice.

hazel i’m not in college anymore but i was a communications major back in my day! you’re still young and have plenty of time to decide what career path you’d like to go down, so don’t stress too much. see what hobbies/interests you have naturally (i always loved books/movies/media) and see what careers are similar to that then work backwards and see what degrees are recommended for those positions! best of luck 💖

While it's true it's unrealistic, SATC is a love letter to complicated female friendship, relationships and New York City itself. It's a fairy tale for adults, not realism for realism's sake. Notice how we never/rarely hear about the girls' parents or home lives pre-adult hood? In my headcanon I believe Carrie had parents that were well to do, and set her up with a nice apartment. She mentions buying vogue over food because it "fed me more" so money has *been* an issue for her. Perhaps she makes only enuff to cover her apartment realistically but then again she has like zero savings in the middle seasons. Like I said fairytale lol. How can buy all those shoes and have zero savings *and* live in that apartment, buy all those clothes AND afford to eat out 89% of the time?

@@ModernGurlz Thank you so much for replying! I really appreciate your advice💗

🙌🏽

Yes please!!!

YES

Yessss 😍😍😍😍💯💯💯💯

OMG YES!!

Fs! Especially w some of her dresses.. I dream of growing up to have Charlottes closet !

U tell it was written by white gay men nd white women lol

I never caught that scene on its own but watching here I’m thinking her name necklace and hoop earrings is what she’s referring to 🤔 Kinda messed up.

Bro ghetto gold shouldn’t be a weird thing. It was funny to me

First world probs mentioned by kids who are not able to undestand the show is a product by its time.

​@@cjj8119 culture has changed in the 20 years since the show was released and the "humor" in the show wouldn't fly today. instead of trying to pass it off as an "oh that's how it was back then, get over it" you should be adult enough to acknowledge that your favorite show isn't perfect. sure, that's how it WAS (

YES! I was about to cringe with the nameplate one and then I remembered MG is a woke girl that knows her shit and respects everyone's background!.

Loved this bit!

Favorite part of the video

Yes I found that part so good!!! I'm so glad she talked about it :D

I really appreciate she added that. Nice job

such an 80s thing to do! I loved that scene LoL

That film was iconic

I began doing that after I watched that movie for the first time 🙈

It really goes to show how confidence is everything and will make a person more attractive.

I once heard her described as a "pocket-sized supermodel", and I think that's pretty accurate.

She is THAT pretty tho

She's prettier than like 59% of the world. All we see now are plastic surgery and filter faces.

Yesss her body is fucking amazing ✨

Samantha was definitely the best friend of the 4 IMO.

@@bonniehowell4259 i think Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte were good friends. Carrie.. not so much

I liked the bra strap. I've always thought if you have a cute bra, with a cute top, and they work together, they should ABSOLUTELY be worn together!

@@runningfromabear8354 Absolutely!

RunningFromABear periodt

Uhm...Gold jewelry was in style in the working classes and Latin America for this very reason. Latinos associate frivolous or showy wealth as status symbols, it’s why nails, plastic surgery, hair color and flashy fashion is also hugely popular in the group as opposed to the more quiet American market that prefers to demonstrate their wealth through practical accessories like bags, shoes and jackets. Shoes, bags and jackets are the most expensive practical stuff in the fashion market but Latinos hate them they can’t change them often since they associate the ability to embrace trendy looks as a luxury and style instead of praising individual style.

@@anamarte7547 killd them

Initially Carrie had a thrift store aesthetic. THEN came the designer shoes, THEN the stupidly out of control couture

It’s brilliant!

You won't regret it. Just acknowledge that the story is from early 2000's. We are living in a different time.

It is sooooo worth the wild ride

DO IT

One of my fav series. The movies...I don’t care.

OMG Damon the icon watching a video about one of the most iconic series!

Swoon.

I think it’s getting a reboot now.

The Mandela effect Lol

Yeah I did too lol

OMG I'm not the only one

Well, it was translated "Sex in the City" in my language, so that's how it'll stay in my head ☺️

That’s because u people r children

Every one needs a loyal friend like Samantha, too bad they are so hard to find in real life. Thus the popularity of the show I guess. 🤔

She is not Carrie honey 💅

@@juansebastiangonzalezlegui3526 yeah, she's better

@@NirvanaIsMyDrugg I hate to say it but it’s true. Samantha would’ve been a more believable friend of Blair Waldorf than Carrie who’s crazy suburban. At first I hated her guts but eventually understood she was a creature of her environment and her behavior came through a wanting to survive and understanding of reality. Claire was far from fantasious, she made it her goal to understand the game of life to stay in the life she grew up in and I thank the show every day for showing this in a beautiful manner. Serena was a good buffer to her as someone who was blessed in every way and will frankly always stay there due to being an apex predator of humanity. The whole system is rigged for Serena’s in the upper class.

I had a silver nameplate necklace in the 70s.

@@sabrinan4792 yeah and so did a lot of black women back then:

Don’t forget the door knocker earrings with the names in them too😁

The Paris outfit with the light blue undergarment....Love, love LOVE.

100% agree. Her style is beautiful, demure, classy.

Me too. SO Jackie O.

Charlotte’s looks are definitely the ones that look the best in today’s time

I will never be over her pregnancy style in the first SATC movie, especially the polka dot swing dress with the pink raincoat when she sees Big and goes into labor

Charlotte's outfits are goals tbh

Yes, this video reminded me of how much I love that slip dress trend! (❤️ 90s era Drew Barrymore)

I agree. I thought she wasn't a good friend, but her style was insane.

Quaint and ghetto have two very different definitions

Facts

Well, the ones your people wear are really ghetto

@@lilovs9952 its the same ones idiot, thats the hypocrisy

you’re right but quaint ≠ ghetto. they’re basically antonyms.

@@Aster_Risk Same! We all got caught in some strange bad taste hive mind

@@LivLaugh Speak for yourself lmao I never did. I found a lot of the 2000s trends so trashy as a millennial growing up in them. I think the only one I really embraced were jeans and sweaters with skateboarding shoes in the late 00s because it was comfy. Yes h and the juicy couture track suit in the icy colors. Looking back I actually wish I did embrace more of the trends back then. It looked like so much fun. I grew up in suburban New England and had a snobbish contempt for the awkward fashions, especially because they were so outlandish like the whole Ugg boots.

I was kind of a punk 12 year old in 2003 so wearing a plaid skirt over my jeans felt edgy at the time. I got bullied over it but I loved it lol

My older sister used to wear them and I stole them to wear at my middle school 😂

I...I was really skinny, so dresses were too short and I needed something to wear under them...😔🤚

An awhata?!

it’s like a totally important designer 😞

I LOVE that scene, her counting on the ground gets me every time!

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Ramona is not iconic. They put her the most awful wigs ever

@Personal Jesus I just wish the wigs were better.

That’s VERY different from the way it was work back in the 2000’s 🤣 it was a plain ol underwire bra, similar to the one we all have hidden away and never get rid of because it’s so comfy. And they’d show off the straps, or let it peak out in front or through the arm holes of your shirt. It’s exactly what you’d imagine you’d look like after a bar fight on a night out clubbing 😂

Mary Poppins lol that’s very true😂 it’s crazy how fashion evolves

I remember why that was - bras were shit and clothing cuts were equally as shit - it was like a curse and often not intentional - whatever you wore, stuff peaked out. It got normalized as it was unavoidable but I remember so many times I wished my stupid bra wasn't showing through my stupid tank top :(

SAME but I wear it with a otherwise modest dress

It’s a beautiful dress. Looking at your profile pic I don’t understand why you can’t pull it off.

i have a video about all the awful trends from the 2010s on the channel! (it was my first video essay though so it’s a mess 😅)

When I was a teen in early 2000s I thought they were totally uniconic and that there could never be a comeback of the 2000s because they were so uncharacteristic xD

Omg that's so cute and good way of parenting! Teaching a child about life through a fun show. Now I know what I'm gonna do with my daughter one day when I have her and she grows up :') haha And I agree, definitely needs more attention!

ME TOOO!! My mom is 53, I’m 17 now, and she started showing me this show when I was 10 to prepare me for life’s experiences.

Patricia Fields is a legendary costume designer who really proved herself not only with "Sex and the City" but also with "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Confessions of a Shopaholic."

Also she had one store on 8th st (between 5th Ave. & University Pl. - I cannot remember the exact number), as well as stores at 306 Bowery and in the East Village, that was the go to point from the '70's to '11 fortunately mostly only known to correctly informed persons across all the various social economic ranges of the time for spot on fashion/trends of the moment at affordable prices.

Yessss but most white women never hear of it and wouldn’t know anyone but jones’ actress

Yesss

You need to! it's lifechanging!

Michelle M it’s on HBO max and it’s on the channel E almost every night. ❤️❤️

heyayup yeah honestly I really should

If you’re a female, go watch it asap. It’s really good

if you’re anybody who likes shows like this watch it !

Go for it!

L L A, I’ve tried and B. They’re not going to have one in my size but I appreciate the peptalk!

L L I looked it up and I’m wrong, next paycheck I’m buying one!

Alicia I’m glad I could make you happy! 💗

@@Sweetumskitty1789 Good for you! I'm so tired of fashion & beautystandards...just be you & be healthy! Did you get it yet? 😘

Haha I love small purses because all I really bring with me is a wallet, some makeup, and my phone! But for things like teaching you def need something more functional!!

Grooveyard same aha! Is it just me who has a mini purse for small bags since normal purses can’t fit in them?

@@kiks4757 I have one too! It's very convenient when you occasionally wear small bags.
