More than ever before, we're seeing Miranda take real risks in the movie, with big, bold patterns like these.<\/p>","url":"2008/5/21/Cynthia-Nixon-as-Miranda-Hobbes-0007-1.jpg","width":320,"height":540,"alt":"Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes 00.07"},{"captionHeading":"Cynthia Nixon Vs Miranda Hobbes","caption":"

Cynthia likes rich colours too, but she's more conformist in style - and even, dare we say it, a bit frumpy here.<\/p>","url":"2008/5/21/Cynthia-Nixon-0604.jpg","width":320,"height":540,"alt":"Cynthia Nixon 06.04"},{"captionHeading":"Cynthia Nixon Vs Miranda Hobbes","caption":"

Cynth likes her scarves too, but wisely plumps for a lighter, more summery theme.

Jeepers, this is Miranda stealing a few quirky style tips from Carrie, we reckon - what with the mass of lurid colours and patterns going on.<\/p>","url":"2008/5/21/Cynthia-Nixon-as-Miranda-Hobbes-0003-4.jpg","width":320,"height":540,"alt":"Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes 00.03"},{"captionHeading":"Cynthia Nixon Vs Miranda Hobbes","caption":"

Oh dear.
Cynthia's simultaneous effort to wrap up falls flat on its face, with a worrying dominance of tweed and mustard patterns.<\/p>","url":"2008/5/21/Cynthia-Nixon-0308.jpg","width":320,"height":540,"alt":"Cynthia Nixon 03.08"},{"captionHeading":"Cynthia Nixon Vs Miranda Hobbes","caption":"

Miranda's actually pretty laid-back on the fashion front - you'd never catch the other girls with their flies open, after all.<\/p>","url":"2008/5/21/Cynthia-Nixon-as-Miranda-Hobbes-0002-1.jpg","width":320,"height":540,"alt":"Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes 00.02"},{"captionHeading":"Cynthia Nixon Vs Miranda Hobbes","caption":"

It's 2001 and while Miranda's over-sized suit and red satchel might've been a good look at the time, it leaves us with a bitter taste looking back.

2001, and nobody does maternity wear better than Miranda: we all know baby bumps can look pretty, but edgy is a different matter.
She pulls it off though, thanks to this fabulous combo of colours and layers.<\/p>","url":"2008/5/21/Cynthia-Nixon-as-Miranda-Hobbes-0001-1.jpg","width":320,"height":540,"alt":"Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes 00.01"},{"captionHeading":"Cynthia Nixon Vs Miranda Hobbes","caption":"
While Miranda's busy decorating her bump in style, a slim Ms Nixon is getting to grips with a 50s-inspired frock and matching clutch.
