Kim Cattrall turned 70, and Vogue marked the milestone by revisiting 70 of her red carpet looks. The retrospective treats her birthday as fashion history, pulling from award-show and film-premiere appearances that stretch across decades.
2003 and 2004
In the 1980s, Cattrall burst onto the acting scene, but the birthday feature leans on the years when her public image became a style record as much as a TV one. At the 2003 Golden Globes, where she won Best Supporting Actress for Sex and the City, she wore a plunging red gown with a built-in cape. At the 2004 SAG Awards, she chose a one-shouldered Lanvin gown in magenta.
Vivienne Westwood to Thierry Mugler
When the first Sex and the City film premiered in 2008, Cattrall wore a gray Vivienne Westwood strapless frock. For the London debut of the sequel film in 2010, she appeared in a vintage black strapless Thierry Mugler dress from the 1990s. Vogue described her style as form-fitting silhouettes, commanding colors and sequins, a shorthand that matches the sequence of looks it chose to chart.
Samantha Jones and Cattrall
Her Samantha Jones wardrobe on TV gets much of the style credit, and Patricia Field’s work on Sex and the City helped define that image. But the retrospective makes a sharper point: Cattrall’s red carpet history stands on its own, separate from the character that made her famous. That distinction is the real value of the feature, because it shows how a role can launch a fashion identity without fully explaining it.
Scroll through the 70 looks and the pattern is clear: this is not just a birthday tribute, but a tidy record of how Cattrall built a durable public style across the 2003 Golden Globes, the 2004 SAG Awards, and the film premieres that followed.
