Sex and the City cast advice:
Charlotte: Choose classic and sensible bridesmaid shoes.
If Charlotte from the Sex and the City cast were to give you shoe shopping advice, she’d probably suggest a sensible pump in a classic style. She'd insist that, as the bride, you can have your 'maids wear whichever shoe you choose! ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
Miranda: Focus on comfort and practicality when shoe shopping.
If Miranda from the Sex and the City cast were to advise you on bridesmaid shoes, she’d probably advocate for each bridesmaid getting to choose their own. Short of that, she’d probably recommend a comfortable flat or low heel in a neutral color (unless she’s protesting living in Brooklyn, of course!). ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
Carrie: Pick stylish bridesmaid shoes that show off your pedicure.
Carrie knows shoes, and would recommend the most fashionable of styles. We surmise she’d end up steering you in the direction of a bold strappy sandal by the latest big designer. ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
Samantha: Go all out and find a look that is show-stopping.
If Samantha from the Sex and the City cast went shoe shopping with you, you’d almost certainly leave with a red carpet style certain to turn heads. Consider going all out with a glamorous stiletto—after all, you’re celebrating a (hopefully) once-in-a-lifetime event! ![]() | ![]() |
I think these shoe choices are spot-on!!
I am a huge SATC fan, and while Charlotte may not be my favorite, her shoe choices are!
