3 Television Characters who Shaped the Fashion World

Like most people of the Netflix age, I adore spending an afternoon or even an entire day curled up with my laptop watching my favorite television show. While doing so Ive been overcome by the sheer style that many of these characters possess. Rachel Green from the television show Friends, who works for Ralph Lauren, has such a unique yet simple way of dressing. In the earlier seasons Rachel, makes the denim trend her own. She can be spotted wearing denim overalls over a simple white tank top or even pairing a denim tank-top (tied up at the waist) with a short black miniskirt. What makes her style so unique is that she isn't afraid to try something new or even unheard of... whether it be an argyle strapless dress or even a blouse paired with a man's tie. But in my opinion Rachel's greatest contribution to the fashion world was her ability to take the miniskirt and make it her own. Whether she is headed to work, out on a date, or even just hanging out at Central Perk, Rachel Green can be spotted in her classic miniskirt. Pairing it with a sweater, blouse, or even a tie Rachel has transformed the simple miniskirt.

The ever sassy, ever scandalous, and ever sexy Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City is the epitome of style. There is nothing simple about Carrie, she takes beautiful designer clothing and creates her own unique outfits. Whether she is pairing a black J'adore Dior fitted shirt with a large pastel purple skirt or a gorgeous white one shouldered dress with an over sized flower at the top and black gladiator heels. Carrie knows style and isn't afraid to step out of the box. Its not rare to see Carrie in an over sized faux fur coat, a cowboy hat, or even a turban. But Carrie's love for designer shoes is what I find most inspirational. She can always be spotted wearing the most gorgeous shoes. Nothing brings tears to my eyes quite like her wedding day when she puts on her blue Manolo Blahnik's with the square shaped jewel on the toe, now that is true style.

Not only is Serena Van der Woodsen, star of the infamous television show Gossip Girl, extremely stunning but she sure knows how to dress. Serena is always playing up her two biggest assets: her gorgeous long blonde hair and her legs that seem to go on forever. Serena puts her own touch on every thing she wears and does not shy away from extravagant clothes, instead she embraces them full on. She has such killer style that it is hard to pick just one outfit that truly embodies her unique and remarkable taste. But if I had to choose I would pick the gray Zuhair Murad lace dress that she wears in the fourth season. Not only is this dress gorgeous but it once again plays up her assets, showing off those legs that most people would trade anything to have.
