The other thing I always noticed about Carolyn was the fact that she rarely wore jewellery. Maybe her wedding ring and a watch. Even in the evenings she wore minimal jewellery. Also, her blonded hair was a huge statement - her hair was the part of her appearance that stood out the most.
Yes, bleached every three weeks and very high maintenance. In fact, it said that her high maintenance lifestyle may have been part of the cause of the plane wreck because they had to leave after dark because she was late at the beauty salon.
I came into my own style in the 90s as well. Gotta say, my go to favorite color to wear is black. Love black and white together, adore tan and black. Grey, too. Solid colors, very few prints. Never realized till now I'm emulating the beautiful Carolyn Bissette. She sure was elegant and classy.
Wonderful video ladies. If you are interested in Carolyn, I would highly recommend reading "The Other Man" by Michael Bergin, "What Remains" by Carole Radziwell, and "Fairytale Interrupted" by Rosemarie Terenzio. I am about 7 years younger than Carolyn, and many of us were dressing minimalist by the end of the 90s, but nobody did it better than Carolyn. The thing to remember about Carolyn, is that she wore what she wanted... it could be off a street vendor, from Hermes, or from an unknown designer. She loved clothes, and she had an instinct to what looked good, and what men liked. And of course as she became better known, she could make a designer just by wearing them once, and she became extremely cognizant of that. She was a girls-girl, known to be friendly to other young women, and help them with their own style. She was known to be kind, and she displayed a great deal of confidence, though, if you watch her physical transformation after she got together with John and became the target of the paparazzi, you can see that her own insecurities also began to surface. Because she herself had worked in PR, the last people she wanted to be around her was the press. She was used to being incredibly protective of her client (Calvin Klein) regarding the press. This led to the public seeing her as elusive, stuck up etc. And of course so many catty remarks were made that she was not good enough for John. Regarding Sex and the City...you are bound to see reflections of Carolyn in the show, Candace Bushnell ran in some of the same circles (again...read "The Other Man"!) and her New York was Carolyn's New York. While that New York is long gone, shades of Carolyn remain. You guys did fantastic with your outfits, and don't forget that Carolyn looked great no matter what she wore, it was how she carried herself. The legacy she left can leave us all with that confidence to emulate, and I think, given her history, she would love to know she is an inspiration to young women, even today.
Since I got to know the story of Carolyn Bessette and her husband John F. Kennedy Jr, soon caught my attention her unique style, class and stunning beauty in photos and videos about her life. I was very in awe of her and chic understated behavior that was her essence. In fact she was a rare american lady. Thank you girls for talking about this timeless fashion icon. ✨🇧🇷
I absolutely love this. I used to look at the magazines when I was a young teen in the 90e and her style was always my inspiration. Even still today now that I am in my 40s! She is a timeless fashion icon!
I love her style since I was a 90's kid. Recently, I was researching her and I found pictures of her wearing colors (red, orange, green, and even yellow!) and patterns. I think her minimal style was really connected to her social/work life in NYC but in her private life, there were some colors involved. I like that she mixed the same pieces, she was a fan of pairing the same blouse/shirt with different skirts, I think now a days she would still mix vintage pieces to her low/hight couture looks.
I remember when they first started and married. She was such an Icon, from Day One. I really miss. I know their marriage was deeply unhappy and on the verge of collapse so who knows what the future would have held for her, but I guess her iconic style is frozen in time.
Carolyn worked for Calvin Klein and I think that his influence largely affected her style. It’s good to know the sources. She always looked gorgeous though she wasn’t a classic beauty. Still her demise is so tragic that thinking about her makes me very sad.
Well done ladies! I love your take and version of her style! Her style I believe is timeless. It pays to wear what works for you. She would still be considered an “IT” girl today. 😊
Also noticed in the sex and the city movies they revealed mr big's name to be john ! I think carolyn and jfk jr were totally the inspo for carrie and mr big tbh. Seems like the sex and the city creator just took them and made them into tv show characters.
As far as I've understood they only had that one public fight. I guess the emotions were too high for whatever reason and they simply forgot that they were on the public stage. PS! Her hair inspired me to try and bleach my long hair to see what happens. Actually pretty nice. No regrets.
Another connection to 'SATC' was Sarah Jessica and Jon Jon were an item at one point. I never made the correlation, and wasn't Mr.Big's name John? Makes so much sense since SJP was a producer of the show. Guess he was the one that got away.
Diana's wedding dress was a trend in the 1980s, not the 1990s. In the '90s, women wore satin nightgowns as dresses. Carrie's style from the series, on the other hand, is contemporary Rococo and has nothing to do with CBK's minimalism. Maybe Kate Moss style is close to CBK.
True, I think they probably borrowed aspects of Carolyn’s style & life for both Carrie and Natasha - Natasha working at Ralph Lauren was similar to Carolyn at Calvin Klein etc
Good video. Carrie’s SATC character is based, in the early days, heavily on the author of the SATC book and column, Candace Bushnell (even to the CB initials for the character and Carrie’ curly, wild hair and style). Candace dated a Mr. Big in real life and Carrie’s relationship with her Mr. Big was completely based on Candace’s real life experiences, just as Carrie did in S5 when she wrote her own book. The characters of Carrie and Natasha were very typical New York girls, just as Carolyn was before she married John. CBK absolutely was something special - you’re right about that! Great quality video and effort!
Cranberry Veil. Also Bobbi Brown Ruby Stain, which has long been discontinued, though I do have a dupe. Her makeup, like her clothing choices, were elegant, thoughtfully considered, and trend defying. Her taste level was exquisite. She seemed to know precisely how much was too far. That was her special sauce.
She looked great. Funny how other up and comers try desperately to recreate her style to look like “American royalty” while behaving like the opposite, fall flat in comparison. You can only have class like she did if there’s something inside them to pull it off.
@@maryrankin9869 I have some old school guccis that are minimalistic and have received lots of compliments. But that brand has fallen off the wagon. Carolyn wore Manolo's and there is a particular heel of theirs that is back on the radar.
The comparison between Diana and Carolyn is a tad bit far fetched. Diana got married in 1981 while Carolyn got married 1996, 15 yrs difference so obviously wedding gowns evolved. Carolyn didn't start the slip dress the media just used her wedding as exposure.
💯💯💯💯I’ve always thought that. I actually think her real style was that sundress that’s a real her. her appearance after that was all what she thought john liked, including the hair.
Oh my, pls don't humilate the late Carolyn Bessette by comparing Carrie Bradshaw with her. Carrie lived in an altered reality and all she thought about was sex and marrying to a rich powerful man. She's such a shame.
I watch psychic youtube videos. John F. Kennedy Jr. will come through but Carolyn is never with him. I think they broke up on the other side. One psychic said she was mad that he cut her life short.

Yes you are so right! Very minimal even with jewellery
It's the first thing I noticed too. And I admire her "style" even more lol

@@MsLouisVeeno. She was at Saks 5th Ave shopping for dress & shoes for the wedding. Not at salon
Crazy how on trend all of her looks are 25 years later!
Good point. My mom always said certain classic clothing looks never go out of style. Basic black and white, beige, tan, tailored fits. Always in.
Her features were amazing! She looked like a classic Greek sculpture brought to life
She had rhinoplasty which really created a great face

Inspiration to some of us old gals as well. Classic style is for any age...just have to have the confidence to wear it!

Thank you Fabricia! You are right - her story, her style, her essence was quite understated, yet intoxicating ✨

I loved her style. So classy and understated
When I start dressing up again, will try and mimic her style.

Beautiful tribute to Carolyn. I don't think I'll ever be able to believe the tragedy of their deaths.

I’ve been looking for a styling video like these. You keep hitting it out of the park!
Well done ladies! I love your take and version of her style! Her style I believe is timeless. It pays to wear what works for you. She would still be considered an “IT” girl today. 😊
This is great! Love your version of her summer style!
This was my favorite video so far! How are your videos getting better every time? You both did such a good job creating her outfits! 👏
Aw thank you!! We still can't believe how spot on we were able to get her looks 😍
Me encanta Carolyn ! Me parece una mujer de una naturalidad, elegancia y estilo único !
Muy básico su estilo. Logico se ve bien aún ahora. Es clásica ! Sin más
So much fun and informative!! Loved this!!Thank you!!!
Yay!! Thank you Diane! 💐💕
you did so well with the outfits!!
All young girls should have the opportunity to become an elite in society, have a husband, a family and the right to life. Nice video!
I really love your Mum’s evening bag!
It's kind of funny that you mentioned SJP using Carolyn as
inspiration for Carrie's fashion, because SJP actually dated
JFK Jr.
Thank you so much for this!
This was spot on.
CBK was THE look of the 90s
I love her style
Also noticed in the sex and the city movies they revealed mr big's name to be john ! I think carolyn and jfk jr were totally the inspo for carrie and mr big tbh. Seems like the sex and the city creator just took them and made them into tv show characters.
I LOVE the energy of this video 🙆🏾♀️🪴🌸
Thanks girl! 💕

Great job ladies!!!! 💗🙏🌺
I too love her style too. ❤
Awesome job sisters. Quite the tribute! BC Canada
Loved this, nice job you two💜
Thank you Kimberly! 😘
New sub! Just found your channel .Looking forward to these fashion video’s.💄💃💅👠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Your sister is gorgeous! Great video. Thanks girls 🖤
Thank you Kate! 💕
Love your channel
Love your channel! Do you have any advice for doing academia or preppy style in hot weather? The styles seem so reliant on layers. 🥺
Ooohh good one Fab, good one!
Thought you might like this one! ✨💐
@@FabSakker 😍💥
Awesome video! Carolyn was a very stylish lady.
Thank you Grace! The fact that all of her outfits could still be worn today shows her true timeless style! ♥️
Mmhhh, Carolyn-Carrie.....John F. Kennedy - Mr Big John! it makes totally sense!
I like red lipstick I'm brown skin and it brings out complexion
Her black “fur” stole would be easy to dupe, Amazon has tons of ones like that, I just got a white one.
She was very classic in her style..to bad her and Jackie never knew each other as they were both style icons...
Another connection to 'SATC' was Sarah Jessica and Jon Jon were an item at one point. I never made the correlation, and wasn't Mr.Big's name John? Makes so much sense since SJP was a producer of the show. Guess he was the one that got away.
Красивая и стильная пара.
Please tell me, where did you get this jeans? 😍
CBK was my style model of the 90s. Loved her!!! May she RIP. xo The irony...Sarah Jessica Parker dated JFK, Jr at one time. hmmmm
Where can I get eyeglasses similar to hers?
💋🌹🌹🌹🎁🎁🎁🙌💕💕💕☀️☀️💫👏🏻🙏✨😇🙏💜🤍 un Ángel
JFK, Jr. dated SJP and Daryl Hannah, two actresses who resembled his wife.
Sie sind schon🤩🤩😍

First picture 5:14
Imo she's more of a "Natasha" than a "Carrie"

The red lipstick is from Stockholm cosmetics.

Stay Pressed, Karen!!!
where are the strappy sandals from?
Calvin Klein rn has cute strappy sandals that are minimalistic and understated. Small, thin block heel and square toed.
@@tj-s6328 I find a block heel hurts my feet. Perhaps I will try a higher end brand...
@@maryrankin9869 I have some old school guccis that are minimalistic and have received lots of compliments. But that brand has fallen off the wagon. Carolyn wore Manolo's and there is a particular heel of theirs that is back on the radar.
John was gorgeous, Carolyn was not beautiful physically but always looked classy and put together.
You’re right she was not beautiful, By a long shot. Kind of strange, looking actually but amazing how she turned it to her advantage
and you look so much better right???😂😂
The comparison between Diana and Carolyn is a tad bit far fetched. Diana got married in 1981 while Carolyn got married 1996, 15 yrs difference so obviously wedding gowns evolved. Carolyn didn't start the slip dress the media just used her wedding as exposure.
Aussie girls are so hot! Love the channel! Do another men’s video please you got a good eye
Just wondering if you were aware that Sarah Jessica Parker dated JFK Jr. in real life for about a year, give or take.
Maybe she didn't intend to have a "style". She was just lazy or had a no-nonsense approach to fashion. I like that.
💯💯💯💯I’ve always thought that. I actually think her real style was that sundress that’s a real her. her appearance after that was all what she thought john liked, including the hair.
But there was a stone hillary to stumble upon...
Oh my, pls don't humilate the late Carolyn Bessette by comparing Carrie Bradshaw with her. Carrie lived in an altered reality and all she thought about was sex and marrying to a rich powerful man. She's such a shame.
Carrie is a fictional character. Calm down.
Simplicity creates drama.
SJP is tacky compared to CBK. There's no comparison! How could you even??
Natasha more like it
Carolyn Bisset Kennedy's style is classic, not trendy.
SJP dated JFK Jr...
Recreations never look as good as the real thing. Her coloring was phenomenal. Really makes the outfits. They just don't work as well on brunettes.
Carolyn was a brunette Look at her older pictures she had curly brown hair. she made drastic changes to her appearance after meeting John
Helicopter* crash
Carrie's style has nothing of minimalist... i don't get the comparison
Have you seen the 1st season of Sex and the City?
Good video but the sound is awful.
CB never wore a crop top with her belly showing….looks cheap.
1.She copied her mother in law.
Yes, she intentionally imitated Jackie’s style to get to John
Hahaha the dog 😂😂😂
Nulla di particolare,americani i soliti esagerati a seguire uno stile insignificante
Kids .. Do you know that They were FAKE.
I watch psychic youtube videos. John F. Kennedy Jr. will come through but Carolyn is never with him. I think they broke up on the other side. One psychic said she was mad that he cut her life short.
Marriage was on the rocks anyway so who knows what would’ve happened had they lived
Hahaha the dog 😂😂😂
