Fifteen TV shows that shaped the decade

4. “Sex And The City” (1998 - 2004)

It may have started in the ‘90s, but how Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Samantha (Kim Cattrall) dressed shaped the first half of this decade like no other show. Carrie single-handedly brought Manolo Blahniks out of high fashion and into the average woman’s vernacular. The clothes, shoes and accessories (flowers ornaments and purses that could cost a paycheck) they wore have been copied over and over by everyday girls looking to stay on top of the trends Somehow the clothes became the fifth character on the show, all guided by the trend setting eye of costume designer Patricia Fields. Audiences clearly didn’t get enough “Sex” when the show ended in 2004. They flocked en masse to the big screen when the show became a feature film in 2008. It’s sure to have the same effect when the second film opens in May 2010. – Laura Saltman
