Early Career

Despite stating that she had never read a fashion magazine as a child, Moynahan sought a modeling career after graduating from high school. She accompanied her friend to a modeling audition in Springfield, Massachusetts, but she got signed by the modeling agency instead of her friend. She began her career as a model in department store catalogs while attending the University of Massachusetts Amherst in Springfield. Moynahan went to New York at the age of 18 and began appearing in magazines such as Vogue and Elle and on the covers of other well-known publications a year later.

Vogue Paris (May 1993), Elle (October 1993), and Glamour (November 1993) are just a few of her notable covers (six times). In a July 2004 interview, Moynahan discussed her early job, saying, "It was a wacky world where you could make a lot of money. I like modeling, but I realized it wouldn't last, so I turned to act." She began doing soap and shampoo commercials around this time and completing acting and art classes. She studied acting at New York's Caymichael Patten Studio and made her television debut in 1999 as Natasha in HBO's romance comedy Sex and the City. She went on to have a recurrent part in the show until her character's divorce from Mr. Big (Chris Noth). She starred in lesser film roles the following year, including roles in In the Weeds and Whipped.
