‘Sex and the City’ Style: Our Guide to Dressing Like Samantha Jones
Unapologetically outspoken, fierce, and independent, Samantha Jones was the master of mixing business with pleasure and personality with style. From professional boardroom meetings to wild nights on the town, she’s the textbook definition of a power dresser with a penchant for all things big, bold, and glamorous. And while she might be the oldest of the four Sex and the City icons (check out our guides to dressing like Carrie Bradshaw and Charlotte York), her outfits prove that fashion doesn’t stop with age. Ready to take a page from Samantha’s book of style? Let’s dive into her top essentials.
1. Power Suits: The Ultimate Boss Babe Look
Nothing exudes confidence quite like a power suit, and Samantha used this to her advantage. (She was a PR executive, after all.) Like the boss lady herself, opt for suit jackets with deep necklines, structured shoulders, and cinched waists for a callback to ‘80s fashion. Running errands? Keep it simple by throwing on a casual blazer over a fitted top and tailored trousers. Headed to a business meeting or simply feeling adventurous? Pair a waistcoat with a pencil skirt before layering on an oversized blazer. Complete each look with kitten heels and a handbag to carry all of your essentials.

2. Faux Fur: Serving Mob Wife Energy
It’s not a Samantha-inspired outfit without her trademark statement piece: a mob wife-esque fur coat. For a glamorous night out, drape an oversized fur coat over a sleek midi dress, slip into heels of your choice, and layer on chunky jewelry. For a more casual, everyday take, pair a plain fitted tee with your favorite jeans, then top it off with a chic fur jacket. Belts, jersey headbands, and sunglasses are popular choices for accessories, while ballet flats or sneakers add an element of comfort. If you're in the market for a new fur coat, opt for faux materials to keep your wardrobe fashionable yet sustainable.

3. Leopard Print: The Cat’s Meow
Whether it’s a slinky dress, a baggy blazer, or even a pair of sky-high heels, leopard print is the ultimate power pattern. The key to rocking it like Samantha? Wear it with confidence and keep the rest of your outfit simple—let the print do the talking. Don’t be afraid to mix it into both casual and formal looks as well; a leopard print coat over a little black dress or even printed pants with a classic black top are both Samantha-approved.

4. Red, Red, Red: A Fiery Color for A Fiery Personality
As the emblem of intensity and sensuality herself, a fiery red is Samantha’s signature color. A red top paired with low-rise jeans or black straight-leg pants allows for easy movement on errand-filled days, while a red V-neck dress with gold jewelry makes for a standout look on special occasions. The vibrant hue is a statement in and of itself, so accessorize lightly to let the color shine.

5. Daring Dressing: Confidently Standing Out
If we could pick one word to describe Samantha’s fashion, it would be “daring.” From plunging necklines to exposed midriffs, Samantha isn’t afraid to stand out from the crowd—in fact, she welcomes the attention. To channel her unapologetic attitude, incorporate flashy colors, playful textures, and unconventional cuts into your next ensemble. Think sequin dresses or matching sets, crop tops paired with low-rise bottoms, and deep V-neck pieces. As for accessories, the bolder, the better. Oversized sunglasses, statement earrings, and chunky gold jewelry are must-haves for a confident touch.
