In honor of the movie, add some SATC to your life!
Although not always practical -- fashion is a safe way to escape and reinvent oneself, no matter who you are, what size you are or where you live. On Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw has become an icon amongst a large group of women, as she reinvents her presentation and evolves her look from day to day. So! Let's get strategizing on how every woman can add a bit of SATC fantasy to her life. In honor of Sex and the City's heroines, here goes...
For the Carries of the world: You're creative, a tad confused and beautifully adept at fashion.
In true Carrie fashion, shoes come first! Dior dishes out the real deal -- but these "inspired" pieces are going to fly off the shelves: Madalynn, Steve Madden, $109.95 (pre-order only).
Next up: the handbag, naturally! Score Carrie's uniquely fashionable handbag: Eiffel Tower Bag, Timmy Woods, $375.
This casual, summery dress still exudes Carrie-esque appeal. The smocking at the top, reminiscent of the famed smocked green Juicy Couture dress she wore to conceal her pregnancy while filming the series, accomodates all sizes 'on top': Shirred Floral Detail Dress, ASOS, $61.07.
For women needing additional support, this flirtatious floral halter offers a similar feel: Butterfly Chiffon Halter Dress, Max C at ASOS, $98.15.
Just for fun, this dress seems to be a combination of the pink strapless dress Carrie wore to the "Big-big Hampton's wedding" and her usual evening edginess. Whether you're headed to Bungalow 8, or the movie theatre to watch the film, why not play dress up in this? Reanna Dress, Otis & Maclain at Madison LA, $115.
For the Samantha's of the world: You're independent, fearless, bold and larger than life.
You've gotta hand it to her: this lady manages to wrap herself in powerhouse suits perfect for a female PR executive -- but she still knows how to keep things fun (obvi...). Score the same look with this red pairing, whose glamorous silk fabric manages to lend major sex appeal to the ensemble without being overly body-conscious: Silk Kimono Jacket & Skirt, Spiegel, $69 & $39.
As her style does differ from Carrie's in the sense that she isn't afraid to be matchy-glamour girl, don't be afraid to pair the suit up with these red patent platforms. They may be a little maneater-esque, but we think they're amazing: Brittania, Guess?, $109.
When she isn't kicking derriere in the business-world, Samantha still isn't afraid of standing out in a crowd, which is inevitable in this ruffled sundress meets vixen frock: Belted ruffle-trim dress, Newport News, $49.
Just for the heck of it...we have to include what Samantha would wear under her clothes (although not on dates, as you SATC groupies remember!). Samantha's lack of inhibition would likely allow her rendezvous to be exquisitely stylish in Agent Provocateur's lace, tulle, and red-hot Liliana Collection , $105-$210.
Use your "Miranda Rights" to score sharp points in and out of the courtroom!
Not knowing quite what to think of Miranda's style, we are happy to see they put extra effort into her look for the movie. During the series, we saw her so much as a stressed-out lawyer and frazzled new mom that we rarely got to see her as pulled together as the other girls. For an interesting look that distracts from body flaws, with a gold belt to cinch and highlight your waist, try out this combo: Black Geometric Charmeuse Bubble Hem Dress, Romeo & Juliet Couture, $79.99, matched up with the Textured Metallic Belt, Xhilaration, $9.09.
As the weather heats up, it only makes sense to highlight the beauty of this geometric-print dress (the attached red belt is included), which gives the same attitude, but is a bit sharper around the edges in terms of cut, print and accessory color: Printed Silk Dress, Alice & Olivia, $330.
Okay -- just one more! This geometric option manages to be especially unique as the pattern elongates your frame, which is especially awesome for petite fashionistas: Rare Moment Babydoll Dress, Sass & Bide, $220.
Regardless of the dress, any look must be tied together with the right shoes. For warm weather, white and ivory tones are appropriate. Ideally, like this pair of gold and ivory sandals, they should tie into the belt's gold tone: Thorana, Nine West, $83.
Dear Charlottes: Ladylike, pulled-together glam and always in style.
She's perfectly pulled together, and follows The Rules in every facet of her life: dating, men, shoes... Abstract fashion is not something Charlotte is interested in, but in honor of the one time she didn't follow the rules (i.e., the rose garden incident!), this classically designed dress would be appropriate for any garden party: Rose Garden Dress, Forever 21, $24.80
This ladylike dress is an irresistible confection, raditating Charlotte's persona: Taffeta Couture Dress, Isaac Mizrahi for Target, $39.99.
You can never go wrong with a simple V-neck A-line dress, which de-emphasizes hips: Satin & Jacquard Sheath, Donna Ricco, $148.
Top off the look with the perfect pair of neutral pumps. Although Charlotte isn't wearing platforms, these are flawlessly suitable: Madison, Dolce Vita, $136.
