Sex and The City '80s Group Halloween Costume - Material Girl Carrie

Carrie Bradshaw arrives in Manhattan for the first time during the 1980's dressed like early Madonna. Pick up a pastel colored bustier with garter straps, a layered white skirt worn over black lace leggings, and white pumps. Some pearl beads, pink handbag, a wide black belt, and a lace bow tied atop your teased hair and you're set. (Best place to buy this look: Hot Topic)

Sex and The City '80s Group Halloween Costume - Preppy Charlotte

Charlotte York looks like she just walked off the tennis court at an exclusive country club. For this outfit, pick up a light green tennis skirt with matching sweater and a sleeveless button down white shirt. Toss the sweater over your shoulders. Wear white tennis sneakers, white socks with pink pompoms, and complete the look with a cute round light pink handbag. (Best place to buy this look: Sports Authority or any department store)

Sex and The City '80s Group Halloween Costume - I Am (business) Woman Miranda

Miranda Hobbs was all business even in her younger days. This is a fairly simple costume: pick up a brown ladies shoulder-padded business suit and a cream colored button down blouse to wear underneath. Put on a pair of classic white Reeboks and carry a hobo style shoulder handbag. To really emphasize the Type A personality, carry a law book and a mound of legal papers.

Sex and The City '80s Group Halloween Costume - Punk princess Samantha

Are you surprised our edgy Samantha Jones used to tend bar at the legendary CBGB's Club in lower Manhattan during the '80s? Punk out with sliver snake skin print spandex pants, a sleeveless blue denim jacket and a zip up leopard print halter top. The shoes should be a red ankle boot with a 3-4" heal. For accessories, get a black leather and silver necklace, one long feather earring, carry print clutch bag, and sport a Sony Walkman. Oh, and tease up a big blond wig, or your own hair if you're a platinum babe. (Best place to buy this looks: Hot Topic)
