We always had fun writing about Tina Carter’s EastEnders wardrobe. No one could deny that the character had some of the most colourful outfits and accessories in Soapland, some of which were sourced by Luisa Bradshaw-White herself!
From her cute jumpers to a wonderfully strange beanie hat, here is a round-up of the Tina Carter EastEnders tops we ID’d from the character’s arrival in 2013 to her departure on 28 December 2020 at the hands of soap baddie Gray (then a brief ghostly appearance in July 2021).
Tina’s Dinosaur Jumper
Roar! Tina was well-known for her bright and fun wardrobe and this addition to the character’s costume department was no exception. Featuring a black dinosaur print, this was originally available in H&M stores earlier in 2015 from the Divided label.
This was later seen again in July and October 2018 then again five years on from originally appearing on our television screens in January & November 2020 – just before Tina left.

Tina’s Three Queens Christmas Jumper
Just before her departure, Tina managed to sneak in this cheeky Christmas jumper as a new addition to her EastEnders wardrobe. The tongue-in-cheek slogan reads “We Three Queens” framed by a Fair Isle disco scene.
Tina’s Christmas jumper from Grindstore has now sold out, but if this is just your kind of style you can find similar Grindstore jumpers
Tina’s Sushi Cartoon Jumper / Sweater
We spotted a food theme throughout Tina’s EastEnders wardrobe back in 2017. Joining her sandwich and sweetie dresses, plus her doughnut sweatshirt, is this cheeky sushi print top from the Divided label at H&M. It was available in stores mid-late 2016.
Tina wore this a few times since early 2017 and was seen again in October 2018. We think the character had both a grey marl and white one.
Tina Carter’s Doughnut Jumper / Top
This really fun donut (doughnut) print top further demonstrated Tina Carter’s love of food-themed prints. Reminding us of Homer’s favourite treat in ‘The Simpsons’, Tina wore this jumper during several EastEnders episodes since its 2014 debut.
The match we found above was by Divided at H&M back in 2013/14. Whilst the print is identical, you’ll notice that there is a slight variation at the neckline. We believe Luisa or the wardrobe department may have altered it to be more in keeping with Tina’s trademark off-shoulder look.
Tina’s Pegasus / Unicorn Sweater
Featuring a cute cartoon Pegasus that would put any ‘My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic’ character to shame, this sweater was first seen on TV in April 2017 and was repeatedly worn through to 2018. It was originally available in H&M stores back in 2015.
This was another character costume item where the neckline was altered so Tina could wear it as a slouchy look.
Tina Carter’s Tiger Top
The first time Tina’s tiger top was seen on TV was not long after she moved into the Vic with Shirley back in 2014.
It was another character costume sourced from H&M, likely around 2013. Tina wore this again throughout 2018.
Tina’s Black Cat Vest Top
We were asked a few times about Tina’s black kitten vest top and our response was that we thought it was likely from H&M. Well, thankfully a reader on our facebook page tracked it down and confirmed our theory! It was in stores around 2013 and we remember Tina wearing it quite soon after her introduction to the Square in 2013, through to 2016.
