Whether you’re heading to a holiday soiree with friends or grabbing drinks with your SO, these outfits are sure to stop everyone in their tracks.

Carrie-Worthy Outfits

Carrie loves to incorporate lingerie-inspired pieces, making the slip a staple in her closet (remember the "naked dress"?). A gorgeous printed kimono robe complements and elevates a boudoir piece. An embellished bag and satin mules are the perfect evening accessories.

It's not a Carrie Bradshaw moment without a tulle skirt. This embroidered midi is elegant and festive. Pair with a bodysuit to streamline the silhouette and top off with a crisp blazer. A glitzy clutch and barely there sandals complete the ensemble.

Never one to stray from bold color, Carrie loves a jewel-toned dress. Slouchy boots are a great alternative to stilettos and a color-blocked top-handle carryall adds dimension.
