From Cosmopolitans to Career Moves: Which SATC Girl Defines Your 2026?

By: Mia Dubin

New Year, new me? Sure, but some things never change. It is 2026, and we are still obsessed with Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes, Samantha Jones, and Charlotte York Goldenblatt. From their iconic plotlines to their timeless style, these Sex and the City (SATC) girls prove that some things never go out of fashion. And just like that, whoare you channeling in 2026?

Are you a Carrie?

If I had a style, MUUZ, Ms. Carrie Bradshaw would undoubtedly be my style guru. From her iconic newspaper dress to her eccentric, eclectic outfits to the perfect mix of expensive and thrifted pieces, Carrie embodies the ultimate It-girl energy. But she is more than just fashion inspiration. She is a blueprint for boldness. Whether you are contemplating a daring creative leap or considering some BIG ;) moves, be it in love, life, or career, Carrie has taught a generation that nothing is truly impossible. Taking risks can lead to unexpected blessings, and embracing your quirks can make you unforgettable. So, as Carrie likes to say, I could not help but wonder: Is 2026 finally the year of Carrie Bradshaw?

Or is 2026 the year of Miranda Hobbes?

When it comes to work hard, play hard, I think Miranda Hobbes has mastered it. Unapologetically driven, Miranda has been an influential working woman with a commendable work ethic. She brings motivation and determination wherever she goes. Something about Miranda’s loyalty and protection of her girlfriends makes her a top contender for biggest girl’s girl, which is exactly the energy 2026 screams. I am so inspired and in awe of Miranda’s balance of a dedicated career and an enriched social life, showing women that prioritizing the necessities in life is what it’s all about. So, if this year you want to channel corporate style, boss mentality, and a willingness to prioritize friendships, Miranda Hobbs is the girl, and you can be too!

Or Samantha Jones?

If I had to choose a life mantra for 2026, it might just come from the icon herself, Samantha Jones. From being unapologetically herself to pairing every Gucci heel with confidence, Samantha is the leading woman in her own life, never allowing anyone or anything to dictate her path or dim her light. Despite turning heads everywhere she goes, Samantha is looking to impress no one but herself, which in 2026 is the new trend. Even though she was a trendsetter in the late 90s, being a Samantha means lighting up every room and never taking no for an answer.

Or are you a Charlotte?

Elegance. Class. Chic. That’s Charlotte York Goldenblatt for you. Charlotte believes in happily-ever-afters and paints her world like a fairytale. With charm and pep in every step, she reminds us that optimism can be the ultimate strength. This year, consider embracing your Charlotte era, where sparks can always be found, and love can feel magical. In 2026, channeling your inner Charlotte means embracing grace, patience, authentic, pure love, and staying in your own lane without letting others' pressures dictate your life or decisions. Charlotte is a powerful reminder that staying true to yourself can lead to a world full of love and success.

But why pick one?

2026 is the year of opportunity, being unapologetically confident, and embracing the unknown. So, if you take a little bit of Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte everywhere you go, 2026 could be a year you will never forget. After all, as Carrie once wondered, maybe the most exciting and significant year of your life is only around the corner?
