Do you have plans for the Sex And The City movie premiere? Whether you are getting together with your girlfriends or dragging your hubby along, you might want to watch the movie in a little SATC inspired dress to celebrate the occasion. OK, I may be going a tad overboard but here are some looks just to get you thinking. Choose a character and start digging through your wardrobe to create your own SATC inspired look…
Carrie: Anything goes for this fashion icon. I heard she has a more “mature” look in the movie but the yellow bustier dress could have been worn by Carrie in the early days. I guess we’ll be able to judge for ourselves after seeing her 81 wardrobe changes in the movie (left to right: sister eek dress by Giles, edith bustier dress by Luella, and little joe tunic by Gail Elliott).
Samantha: Often form fitting dresses in solid bands of saturated color — usually in pinks, oranges and blues. Kim Cattrall wore the Nicole Miller dress above on an interview with Oprah and would have been perfect for the movie if it were in turquoise blue. Remember to wear your collar up if you have a similar outfit to the DKNY dress (left to right: color block stretch twill dress by Nicole Miller, leaf print dress by DKNY, and color block bandage dress by Hervé Léger).
Miranda: It’s all about the fabrics for Miranda. Silky patterns and belted high waisted dresses look fantastic on her. Try the Vanessa Bruno deep purple dress with a gold belt (left to right: jet printed dress by Antik Batik, dance silk jersey dress by Single, and jersey mini by Vanesa Bruno).
Charlotte: Sweet Charlotte suits a-line skirts, particularly in pastels, or any outfit inspired by Audrey Hepburn (left to right: sleveless wrap dress by Neiman Marcus, diamond print dress by Milly, basketweave dress by Tibi).
I found a great section on the HBO website that allows you to view The Look By Character in all of the seasons. Oh, what a show. And hopefully, “what a movie.”

Hi You have a great blog! I just did a piece on SATC on my blog a few days ago. I can’t wait until this movie comes out! Counting the days. Which would you say is your favorite character dressier? I would have to probably say Carrie- she’s so fun and pulls it off at the same time. I wish I could be that brave!

Jessie - Great idea for a Double Take. That movie seems to be a favorite!
Daisy - Although I LOVE Carrie’s adventurous style, I could probably only see myself wearing Miranda’s clothes. And I’m only talking about the last two seasons when they completely revamped her look. I especially love the belted pencil skirt style.
