According to the findings, Regina George, from Mean Girls, takes the top spot for influencing American style, with a remarkable 22,148 average monthly searches. The high school queen bee, portrayed by Rachel McAdams in the 2004 cult classic, is searched nearly 60% more than the second-place character – which might just be why her hair is so big.  

Carrie Bradshaw, the fashion-forward columnist played by Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City, lands in second place with 13,874 average monthly searches. Her iconic style, featuring designer shoes and memorable outfits, continues to influence American fashion more than two decades after the show first aired. 

Coming in third place is Rachel Green from the sitcom Friends, with 12,012 average monthly searches. Even though the show ended in 2004, Jennifer Aniston’s character – who went from coffee shop waitress to Ralph Lauren executive – continues to inspire fans’ style today. 

Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl, portrayed by Leighton Meester, ranks fourth with 10,357 average monthly searches. The Upper East Side queen’s preppy style, complete with headbands and designer clothes, clearly continues to resonate with American fashion enthusiasts. 

In fifth place is Fran Fine from The Nanny, with her bold, colorful outfits drawing 10,131 average monthly searches. Played by Fran Drescher, the character’s distinctive 90s style featuring miniskirts and matching sets has seen renewed interest in fashion’s cyclical nature. 

Kim Possible lands in sixth place with 7,679 average monthly searches, proving that even animated heroes can leave a real-world fashion footprint. Her signature look – cargo pants, a black crop top, and utility belt – blends practicality with attitude, making her a surprisingly enduring style icon for fans who grew up watching her save the world and serve looks. 

The highest-ranking male character is James Bond in seventh place, with 7,507 average monthly searches. The suave British spy, portrayed by various actors across the decades, remains a benchmark for men’s formalwear and sophisticated style. 

Hilary Banks, played by Karyn Parsons in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, comes in eighth with 6,828 average monthly searches – a clear sign that her bold, luxurious ’90s style still inspires fashion lovers today. 

Elle Woods from Legally Blonde takes ninth place, with 6,739 average monthly searches. Portrayed by Reese Witherspoon, her polished, pink-powered wardrobe continues to prove that being professional and unapologetically feminine can go hand in hand. 

Rounding out the top ten is Sharpay Evans from High School Musical, played by Ashley Tisdale, with 4,908 average monthly searches. Her bold, pink-dominated wardrobe shows the lasting impact of early 2000s Disney Channel fashion on American style preferences. 

Noor de Swart, CEO of Super Label Store, commented on the findings:  

“These results show how fictional characters continue to shape fashion trends and personal style years after their introduction. Regina George’s influence demonstrates the lasting impact of Mean Girls on American culture, especially considering the recent musical, while the diversity of characters in our top ten reveals that style inspiration comes from many different sources.” 

“What’s particularly interesting is how many characters from the 90s and early 2000s dominate the list. This reflects the current fashion resurgence of Y2K styles, with many looks from that era coming back to popularity. 

“The mix of characters also shows that Americans look for style inspiration across different media, from sitcoms and dramas to animated shows and movies.”
