Sex and the City vs Sopranos: Which show wins the style stakes?

 

Last week, Sarah Jessica Parker took to Instagram to drop a teaser heralding the return of a little show called Sex and the City, and naturally, the internet went wild. Seemingly forgetting the deeply problematic car crash that was the SATC 2 movie, the TL was quickly filled with talk of Carrie’s 2021 wardrobe, whether the stars would be newly woke, and WTF the whole thing was going to look like sans everyone’s fave sex-crazed PR, Samantha Jones. 

While all that was going on, a strange discourse pitting Sex and the City and fellow HBO smash hit The Sopranos against each other also sprung up, despite the two series’ incredibly different subject matter and cultural nuances. While we wouldn’t advise you dive into that if you in any way value your time, we got to thinking – to quote Ms. Carrie Bradshaw herself – there’s really only one area the two should spar against each other, in an area that deeply matters. That’s right: we’re talking about the shows’ respective fashions. 

From Carrie Bradshaw and Adriana La Cerva’s spaghetti strap moments, to Dr. Jennifer Melfi and Miranda Hobbes’ power suiting – by way of AJ Soprano’s nu-metal merch and that moment Berger (undeservedly) scored himself some Prada – we’ve set SATC and the The Sopranos against each other to see who comes out top in the style stakes. Mild spoilers ahead – but come on, you’ve had 20 years to watch both so don’t @ us, okay?
