…But a sex-kitten by night. That's Samantha Jones in season one. Though she's determined to make it the top of the PR heap with her eponymous agency, she's not yet dressing to kill. Samantha may look work-lunch appropriate in a lavender jacket and black top, but underneath is a sexy vixen about to break free.

In season two, wild-child Samantha goes from wearing a white fur coat to a funeral to a dominatrix outfit that would make any man blush. Yet she also knows how to work pretty print dresses and office-appropriate silk blouses such as this striped one. Once again, Samantha proves she's nothing if not versatile—in sex as well as in style.
For Samantha, season three is all about accepting her age (she's older than her friends) and lack of relationship as the other girls pair up with steady boyfriends. The result is a Samantha that is as unapologetic about her clothes as she is about her sexuality. Even in the heat, she shows her sultry style with a black and white striped blouse knotted to show a little skin, white hip-hugging pants and bold red accessories.
Never one to shy away from the spotlight, Samantha sizzles in a sexy red halter dress while out on the town. A bold silver choker necklace draws added interest to her décolletage.
Samantha experiences a true milestone in season four: She falls in love with hotelier Richard Wright. And with that, her style becomes slightly more sophisticated and classy, yet still seductive. But Samantha's suspicions that her new beau can't help but stray get the best of her: She follows Richard home one day and finds him in bed with another woman. The betrayal shakes Samantha to her core, and the once cocksure dame loses her confidence…but only temporarily.
Unwilling to take Richard's indiscretions lying down, Samantha plots her very public revenge in season five. As the claws come out, so do Samantha's adventurous, bold fashion sensibilities. At a party for Fleet Week, she sails full steam ahead into a sea of men in a daring turquoise tube minidress and Roberto Cavalli boots.
In the final season, Samantha shows how far she's come by proving she can be a "girlfriend" to waiter-turned-actor Smith, admitting that she's 45 and facing her breast cancer head on. Smith not only sticks with her through her illness but also shaves his head in solidarity. Samantha turns the bummer of losing her hair into having fun with wild and wacky wigs of all colors and styles. She proudly walks the red carpet for Smith's first film premiere wearing a hot pink wig and a white feather jacket over a black Max Mara dress. Talk about arriving in style.
Always confident, Samantha gravitates towards bright colors and feminine silhouettes. This colorblocked off-the-shoulder blouse is not to be missed when paired with a white pencil skirt, platform pumps and a yellow handbag and belt.
Make no mistake, Samantha enjoys the finer things in life—and it shows! A successful career woman, she proudly flaunts her hard-earned status with flashy statement jewelry and pricey handbags.
Samantha knows how to work a room, and as her character matures, so does her style. She looks elegant and sophisticated in a champagne evening gown with a plunging back.
