The best dressed women on TV

These are the women that always give us extra reason to turn on the telly. The women who distract from the story, because you’re spending moments scrutinising their outfits. Those who make you wish you could trade wardrobes out loud. Who make you dream about New York, a job as top lawyer and even about Denver. Our favourite TV style icons.

Carrie Bradshaw // Sex and the City
Stylist Patricia Field propped her cupboard full of designers and hip vintage and the biggest dream shoe collection around.

Blair Waldorf // Gossip Girl
Three years after Carrie left our screens, the spoiled and bizarrely well dressed Blair Waldorf from the Upper East Side appeared on our Best Dressed List.

Betty Draper // Mad Men
If time-travel machines existed, we’d jump straight into one and head for the 60s to wear her dresses and stovepipe trousers.

Alexis Colby // Dynasty
The queen of 80s glamour with a wardrobe full of fur, ruches, lace and shoulder pads. Large shoulder pads.

Jessica Pearson // Suits
Should we all have gone to law school?
