With the release of And Just Like That season two right around the corner (June 22nd: commit it to memory!) and the totally unexpected news that Kim Cattrall's Samantha Jones will *finally* return with a cameo in the show, we're feeling all kinds of nostalgic for the power-dressing PR icon.
In the OG series, Samantha's style was undeniably fierce, bold, sexy, and when required, professional AF. So it stands to reason that we've seriously missed her outfits every bit as much as her cheeky yet candid commentary – and TBH, the SATC reboot just wasn't the same without her.
So we could not be more excited to see Sam Jones make her long-awaited return to the show. We're already day dreaming about the fabulous 'fits she might wear... So for inspo in the meantime, here's a look back at Samantha's very best fashion moments from Sex and the City.
1. The colour-blocking
While Carrie's pinstripe waistcoat-and-tie situation was a bit of a Marmite moment, there's no denying that Samantha looked totally fabulous in her all-red outfit.
2. The LBDs
Samantha never stopped wearing tight clothes, short dresses and high heels as she grew older – and we absolutely love her for it.
3. The lush halterneck moment
While we might not wear either of these outfits today, Samantha's Cerulean blue halterneck is a whole vibe in itself.
Everyone's clicking on...
4. The accessories
Those gold boots, the purple bag and her huge ring worn over her red leather gloves... No one knows how to accessorise quite like Samantha.
5. The OTT everything
Samantha Jones might be many things, but dull is certainly not one of them. This embellished trouser, knee-high suede boots, gold bag and fur jacket situation is a case in point.
6. The waist belts
Samantha is queen of elevating practically every and any wardrobe staple – as she demonstrates with this killer coat and waist belt combo.
7. All that colour
Yellow, pink, red and blue all in one outfit? It shouldn't work – but it really, really does.
8. The gold trousers
Samantha's holiday wardrobe is just as strong as her work one, as this look from Sex And The City 2 proves.
9. The jewellery
Always big, always bold and preferably matching her belt.
10. The shoulder pads
When Samantha wasn't wearing shoulder pads inside her suits, she was wearing spikey ones outside of them.
11. The statements
Like these bright, bold and HUGE costume earrings.
12. Even more colour-blocking
She's just SO good at it.
13. The party dresses
You can trust that Samantha's will always be the shortest and sparkliest.
14. The trenches
Is she wearing anything underneath? We'll never know, and that's all part of Samantha's charm.
15. The surprises
Every now and then Samantha shows up in a tied, striped shirt and we have to applaud her for it.
