Sex and The City (Part 3 of 4): Get the Look of Samantha Jones
Samantha Jones is a brash, bold PR executive who knows what she wants out of life. Although she has a voracious appetite for passion, she is extremely loyal to her girlfriends and would never choose a lover over them. That said, she likes to know that she can still attract whomever she wants – men and women alike.
If you want to make sure that you’re the center of attention in every room, take some style cues from Samantha!
Make Up
If you’re going to wear revealing clothing like Samantha, it’s a good idea to pare back your make up for a more mature, classy look. Samantha’s make up is fairly natural and soft.
Samantha’s standout features have always been her eyebrows. They are meticulously groomed, the perfect frame for her beautiful face. If you don’t have the resources to get your eyebrows professionally shaped, don’t worry! You can do a great job at home. Just make sure that you are in a well-lit room with good slanted tweezers. The most important rule in brow shaping is to follow your natural eyebrow – don’t overpluck! Only tweeze hairs outside of your natural browline, and your face will look more open, awake and fresh instantly!
Hair
For much of Sex and the City’s run, Samantha was the epitome of a blonde bombshell. Her face-framing platinum bangs were feminine without being fussy.
That is, until Samantha received a bombshell of her own. She was diagnosed with cancer. Samantha took the diagnosis in stride, and with the help of her friends and boyfriend, she shaved her head.
From then on, Samantha either rocked her closely-shorn hair with confidence and a beautiful face, or she had fun with wigs – including long pink ones and others that mimicked her natural hair.
If you want to model your hair off Samantha’s, there is one important fact to remember. No matter how long your hair has been a certain style, or good it looks on you, your hair does not define you. So have some fun with it!
Clothing
Samantha’s outfits are not for the faint-hearted. Luckily, Samantha gives plenty of opportunity to imitate elements of her style, while remaining slightly more reserved.
For example, Samantha frequently dresses in one color from head to toe. Think bright red, orange, pink or electric blue. This monochromatic look is confident and sure to draw attention.
At work, Samantha gravitates towards slightly 1980’s-esque power suits that accent her figure. For this look, choose structured jackets, pencil skirts and wide leather belts.
In the evenings, Samantha wears silky, skin-grazing fabrics, down-to-there necklines, and animal prints. Simple clothing without too many buttons, ties or zippers is perfect for a woman like Samantha.
Last, She never forgets that what goes under her clothes is just as important as the clothes themselves. Her undergarments always accent her outfits, and are never boring. If they’re there at all, that is.
Accessories
When it comes to jewelry, Samantha big hoop earrings and bold, chunky necklaces that draw the eyes downward.
Women like Samantha know that wearing high heels doesn’t just dress up an outfit. The right heel make your legs look longer, your tush look higher and your posture appear more confident. Samantha takes that knowledge to the extreme, and wears sexy stilettos everywhere – including to the beach.
Samantha chooses bags that can go from career to evening … and possibly even to the next morning. This means that her bags need to be sturdy and structured enough for work, yet large enough for everything involved in an impromptu sleepover.
