The famous stylist and fashion mastermind behind Sex and the City, Patricia Field, has a new work on the set of Ugly Betty.

Since the show relocated produce from Los Angeles to New York this year, Field, who styled the pilot episode, has came back to the fashion-centric program for Ugly Betty third season.

Set in the offices of fictional fashion magazine Mode, Ugly Betty’s cast is characteristic dressed in understated colors and classic silouhettes, but America Ferrera’s Betty Suarez is another story.

Just like Carrie Bradshaw’s closet wardrobe, Betty’s wardrobe is a mash-up of high-end designer pieces. It includes Marc Jacobs, Viktor and Rolf, and Alexander McQueen and one of a kind vintage finds.

But that’s where the resemblance ends. Betty’s kookie style is all about traffic-stopping colors, clashing prototypes and questionable layering.

Patricia Field shows that it’s not the outfit or labels that give you style, but how you wear them.

Below the shabby, mismatched layers, Ugly Betty wears some great pieces, but they get lost in a jumble of color and pattern.

Perhaps she has the strange fashion sense of Carrie Bradshaw, taken a steps too far.
