[[Charlotte York Goldenblatt|Charlotte York]] ([[Kristin Davis]]) is one of the four central characters in ''Sex and the City''. She is depicted as having a conventional and privileged upbringing in [[Connecticut]] and works at an art gallery in New York City. Raised in an [[Episcopal Church (United States)|Episcopalian]] household, Charlotte is characterized by her idealism, traditional values, and perfectionist nature. She is an alumna of [[Smith College]], where she majored in art history and minored in finance. Although the show states she was a member of the [[Kappa Kappa Gamma]] sorority, no such organizations exist at the real Smith College. During the series, it is revealed that Charlotte was voted [[prom]] queen, [[homecoming]] queen, and student body president, in addition to being a cheerleader and track team captain.

Charlotte is known for her romantic worldview, in contrast to the more pragmatic or cynical attitudes of the other women, particularly Samantha Jones. She places a strong emphasis on emotional intimacy, marriage, and family.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Striking_Race_6907 |date=2023-09-09 |title=What happened to the Charlotte York family? |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Andjustlikethat/comments/16ejgzp/what_happened_to_the_charlotte_york_family/?rdt=56367 |access-date=2024-12-02 |website=r/Andjustlikethat}}</ref> Her relationships often reflect her desire to find a suitable partner for marriage, typically dating men with professional or social prestige.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Walsh |first=Savannah |date=2021-12-09 |title='And Just Like That': All the 'Sex and the City' Easter Eggs You May Have Missed |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2021/12/and-just-like-that-all-the-sex-and-the-city-easter-eggs-you-may-have-missed |access-date=2024-12-02 |magazine=Vanity Fair |language=en-US}}</ref>

Despite her traditional values, Charlotte occasionally subverts expectations. She briefly has a relationship with an [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox Jewish]] artist, dresses in drag for a portrait, and agrees to pose for an artist's rendering of her [[vulva]]. She and Samantha often clash over their differing perspectives on sex and relationships.

In Season 3, Charlotte meets Trey MacDougal ([[Kyle MacLachlan]]), a cardiologist from a wealthy, old-money family. After a brief courtship, Charlotte proposes marriage, which Trey accepts. Their engagement and wedding proceed quickly, but they encounter problems immediately. Charlotte discovers that Trey suffers from [[Erectile dysfunction|impotence]], and his refusal to address the issue, coupled with the interference of his domineering mother Bunny ([[Frances Sternhagen]]), strains the marriage. Despite attempts to reconcile, including pursuing fertility treatments and considering adoption, the couple ultimately separates and divorces.

Charlotte later begins a relationship with Harry Goldenblatt ([[Evan Handler]]), her divorce attorney. Initially reluctant due to Harry’s physical appearance and mannerisms, Charlotte is encouraged by friends to pursue the relationship. Their bond deepens, but Harry informs Charlotte he cannot marry someone who is not Jewish. Motivated by her commitment to him, Charlotte converts to [[Judaism]]. Although they briefly separate due to miscommunication and expectations, they reconcile, and Harry proposes. The couple marries in a traditional Jewish ceremony.

Charlotte later becomes pregnant through [[acupuncture]] therapy but suffers a [[miscarriage]]. The couple adopts a daughter, Lily, from China. In ''[[Sex and the City (film)|Sex and the City: The Movie]]'', it is revealed that Charlotte later becomes pregnant and gives birth to their second daughter, Rose.
