Peplums are back with a vengeance, earning this look a spot on our list of best Sex and the City outfits simply for remaining relevant over a decade after the fact.

Love or hate Aleksandr Petrovsky, the only man to ever whisk Carrie Bradshaw away from NYC, you have to admit that his relationship with Carrie brought out some of her best looks, including this beaded fringe mini dress.

Our girl Carrie Bradshaw loved a tiered ruffle skirt and ankle boot as far back as 2003 when the sixth and final season of Sex and the City was filmed. The cropped jacket and red scoop neck tee on top added the perfect, subversive finishing touches.

The dress that launched a thousand memes has maintained its icon status since Kristen Davis pointed a furious finger at Mr. Big after he left Carrie at the altar in the first Sex and the City movie.

Sure, the vintage suit that only she liked was the look Carrie actually wound up wearing to get married, but we still love the drama in this Vivienne Westwood wedding gown (just not the drama that came afterward).

Do you remember what an absolute backless slay Samantha Jones' '80s-inspired jumpsuit was in "The Post-It Always Sticks Twice," the iconic Season 6 iconic episode when he-who-we-will-not-name breaks up with Carrie via Post-It? We do.

Who says you can't mix floral prints? Carrie Bradshaw certainly didn't get the memo in the first Sex and the City movie, and we're so glad she went for this look.

Miranda's "Skinny" Jeans

Miranda was rarely as triumphant as she was when she fit into the "skinny" jeans after giving birth. The '70s bangles she stacked on her wrists and the layered thin belts were the most iconic elements of her look, but her confidence alone makes this 'fit one of the series' most iconic.

Carrie's Dreamy Floral Ruffles

Early seasons of Sex and the City served us some subtly iconic fashion moments like this romantic ruffle floral dress Carrie Bradshaw wore in Season 3.

Samantha Jones' Vintage Suit

Fans had mixed feelings about the first Sex and the City movie, but we adored the looks it featured from top to bottom, including this belted skirt suit worn by Kim Cattrall's Samantha Jones. Monochromatic, vintage-inspired, and perfectly fitted? Yes, yes, and yes.
