Carrie Influential

With the sequel to the first Sex and the City movie approaching rapidly, I couldn’t help but notice that the current trends and styles are reflecting each character of the best television series there ever was! Since the girls head to Morocco for a better part of the new movie, there is a HUGE prevalence of Middle Eastern style like one shoulder tops, tunics, and embellishment of sequins and beads. Although most of us can’t afford the reported $22,000 outfits (that is for just ONE look!) at least there are knock-offs that are still quality and SOO SEXY!

Let’s start with the most innocent and conservative style, “the Charlotte”. She always has such an elegant Jackie O/Audrey Hepburn-esque look. She Never shows too much skin, nothing too bold, and loves feminine details! This DKNY dress reminded me of something Charlotte would have worn in the earlier seasons while working at the art gallery:

She would most likely wear this two-piece Geren Ford dress to a lunch date with the girls while talking about babies or her love/problems with her husband...

And for a night out she doesn’t go TOO out of her comfort zone, but still looks classic and sexy in a peplum dress like this one:

Now onto the real sexpot of the group, Samantha! When it comes to fashion, she holds NOTHING back…in fact she usually is wearing next to nothing at all! This L.A.M.B dress is a piece that she would most likely wear out to dinner on a date with her flavor of the week (or night) accessorized with a little black clutch or a gold cuff like this one:


This gorgeous Halston Heritage dress looks like something she would be wearing out to dinner with the girl’s in Morocco OR to the opening of the hottest new restaurant in Manhattan!

This gold metallic stunner by Rachel Roy is perfect for Samantha to command the men’s attention as soon as she enters the room. As would this tight/short dress with a low back by Alice + Olivia:


Now onto Miranda, who in my opinion has the most bland and not so daring sense of style of them all. She usually sticks to a feminine take on masculine styles and is always working, so she sticks to classic office staples like a blazer and trousers. BUT when she DOES get a chance to get lunch or go out at night with the girls, she dresses it up with a little more feminine flaire while keeping a longer, more modest ensemble.
This Alexander Wang dress was something I could definitely see Miranda rocking for drinks with the girls and completed with this gold feather cuff:


She will look HOTT but still keep cool while walking through the Moroccan desert in this pretty in pink Moschino Cheap & Chic one shoulder boho style dress OR this colorful maxi dress!


By the way ladies, Fred is the ONLY dress destination this Summer for any occasion. With our ENTIRE 2nd level as a “dress attic” you won’t leave empty handed! Get your SATC style on!!
And last but NOT least… the one and only, Carrie Bradshaw! No matter what she wears or how crazy it may look on anyone else, she owns every piece she wears with confidence and ease! I could see her wearing this Tibi dress in the hot desert sun with a great pair of Manolo Blahnik strappy sandals and a standout cocktail ring like one of these:




In the sequel, Halston Heritage is used A LOT because SJP is now designing for the glamorous high fashion line! I am completely OBSESSED and in love with this “IT” dress from the movie that people have been getting onto waitlists for. But sadly it’s just a little out of my price range. It so classic, flowy, and can easily be taken from day to night!

Can’t you just picture her sitting poolside with the girls in the kelly green asymmetric cocktail dress? Topped off with a pair of gold FABULOUS aviator style sunnies of course!

So, get those old season’s of Sex and the City (1 through 6 part one & two) like I have and have your best friends over with a bottle of wine for a FASHION fabulous marathon lover!
