Cynthia Nixon

On June 6, 1998, the iconic TV series Sex and the City aired its first episode on HBO – and nothing would ever be the same in the way Hollywood portrayed women on TV. As the 25th anniversary of the show approaches, it’s hard to imagine life without Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon).

The clothes that adorn the actors on such iconic TV shows such as And Just Like That…, Succession, Euphoria, or past hits including Sex and the City, Mad Men, Killing Eve, or Girlfriends Guide to Divorce, are as integral to the storyline as the spoken dialogue that brings everything to life. In many cases, what the characters wear has influenced mainstream fashion, while the words they spout can stop a trend dead in its tracks.

The new HBO show The Gilded Age comes from Julian Fellowes, the mastermind behind the beautiful curtain of the cinematic universe of Golden Globe Winning Drama Downtown Abbey. Needless to remind, Downtown Abbey won too numerous accolades to count.

For Cynthia Nixon, who was part of Sex and the City, the show that won the Globe for Best Television Series Comedy not once but in three consecutive years starting in 2000 and was herself a three-time nominee, her fondest memory is a very personal one. .
