Kim Cattrall’s Best Red Carpet Moments Prove She and Samantha Jones Could Have Shared a Stylist
Scanning through Kim Cattrall’s red carpet looks over the past few decades, it seems obvious that Samantha Jones inspired the actress’ style aesthetic. Or, was it the other way around? Either way, it’s hard to look at some of the power suits and low-cut gowns Cattrall has worn over the years without thinking, “That’s so Samantha.” While these days, the actress usually sticks to a sleek blazer and trousers, Cattrall had her fair share of glitzy looks back in the day, especially while promoting her hit HBO show. And even now, she likes to add some attitude to her more toned-down looks (see the Barbie pink jacket she wore to the Queer as Folk premiere earlier this year).
