She inspired a whole generation of women who asked their hairdressers for her perfect curls. The character of Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, was not only a fashion trendsetter. The proof in pictures.
Of course, there was the Rachel, Jennifer Aniston's cut, very popular in the 1990s. But Carrie Bradshaw, the heroine of the HBO series Sex and The City, is also a beauty trendsetter. Indeed, her curls quickly established themselves as a source of inspiration. And when Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays the columnist on the screen, experienced multiple evolutions during the series, all of them became future hair trends. Because if we have extensively copied the outfits of the characters on the screen, always very avant-garde, her hairstyles were nonetheless just as inspiring.
And when we come back to the various transformations of the actress's hair over the episodes, we understand that there too she had everything of an influencer before her time. From wavy bobs to crown braids, bun chignon and half-ponytails, Carrie Bradshaw has tried it all. Even the tie-and-dye effect or the bronde on the coloring side.
If we remember this curly half-tail coming to accessorize her tulle petticoat, her tapered and wavy bob when she collaborated with Vogue magazine is also anchored in memories. We will also note a taste for accessorization, with in particular a skilful play on scarves which we spotted at Dior fall-winter 2020-2021 show.
It remains to be seen for which trend she will opt for this big comeback, (the actress has indeed just announced a new and seventh season) on the small screen after a two-step stint at the cinema.
