Carrie Bradshaw, the one and only. The queen of the sidewalk stiletto, the afternoon Cosmopolitan, and at times the most recognizable TV character of the late '90s and early '00s.
Top 10 Reasons Why Carrie Bradshaw Was The WORST
Since 1998, Carrie has dated 28 men, had three steady boyfriends, hosted two weddings and toured the most amazing city on earth with her three best friends: Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Samantha (Kim Cattrall) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon). But someone has to give these friends a gold sticker, because they've been through a lot with the pompous, thoughtless and often self-absorbed writer.
Since the series’ comeback on popular streamers Max and, more recently, Netflix, Sex and the City has once again reignited a cultural debate over how Carrie might just be the worst character to ever wear so much Chanel. All we can say is: She’s lucky she’s cute. Played by the equally, if not more, chic New Yorker Sarah Jessica Parker, Carrie stole—and broke—a ton of hearts during her ongoing run as the iconic Sex and the City character. (Yes, it was recently announced that spinoff series And Just Like That has begun filming its third season . Yay!)
From ignoring her friends to harping on endlessly about her on-again, off-again relationships, Carrie was clearly in need of a therapist—though she (sort of) tried in Season 2. For a show about female friendships, this protagonist often missed that memo.
