Carrie Bradshaw from “Sex and the City”
Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City’s leading lady, exuded style and elegance. A New York City columnist, writer for Vogue, and owner of perhaps the world’s best wardrobe, Carrie’s very essence was fashion.
The city was her runway and her outfits popped wherever she went, including concrete staircases!
Lizzie McGuire from “Lizzie McGuire”
Lizzie McGuire may have been a quirky tween with plenty of awkward moments, but she served up plenty of looks.
So she didn’t look fabulous all the time, but Lizzie showed viewers that wardrobe malfunctions and unflattering school pictures are just a part of growing up.
Brooke Davis from “One Tree Hill”
The best way to mend a broken heart is to start a clothing line. At least, that’s how Brooke Davis went about things.
Raven Baxter from “That’s So Raven”
Raven Baxter may have been San Francisco’s resident psychic, but she also doubled as a fashion designer and Bayside High’s most stylish student. Because Raven was an aspiring designer, her looks were always personalized and uniquely her.
Many argue that TV kills brain cells, and maybe this is true. But programs on TV can also be a vehicle for some of the greatest inspiration through its multi-dimensional characters, and that’s a beautiful thing.
