After Much Ado...Sex and the City is Finally Here!

Yep, you heard me. Finally. After four years of anxious waiting and wishing and hoping, the fabulous New York gals of Sex and the City are back, and better than ever. I really mean that. I've been watching each and every media report pertaining to the movie, the premieres, etc., and it seems like Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte, and even Mr. Big have gotten better with age. Well, it's only been for years...but that's like a decade in showbiz.

When we first left off, Carrie was back in New York with Big, Samantha was with boyfriend Smith, Charlotte and Harry were planning on adopting a little girl from China, and Miranda was living with Steve, Brady, and her mother-in-law Mary. All in all, the series ended on a very high note because it seemed as though everyone was at piece and happy with their lives. However, Sex and the City is a show filled with drama and intrigue...and I can only assume the movie will be no different. Although the movie is sure to be fabulous, I have to admit that I'm most excited about the fashion.

Here we have the four glamour gals in a clip from the movie. Samantha is wearing a red Thierry Mugler jacket, matching Valentino skirt, and a Fendi bag. Miranda is in an Alberta Ferretti dress with shoes by Luciano Padovan. Ms. Carrie Bradshaw is decked out in a full Ralph Lauren outfit with her signature Manolo Blahniks. Last but not least, Charlotte York is ever-so-classy in Prada.

$575.00

It has often been said that New York City is the unofficial 5th character of Sex and the City, so I found it to be extra strange that the movie had its first official premiere in London. Anyway, here are the four ladies, chic as can be.

Let me start with Sarah Jessica Parker in what some have called the most controversial outfit she's ever worn. The dress and shoes are by Alexander McQueen, but the peculiar aspect of the look is easily the Phillip Treacy hat. It basically looks like a little hat with a tree sprout growing out of it. Haute or not? I say not...but SJP really wanted to make a fashion statement in probably the biggest movie premiere of her life, and she did just that. Cynthia Nixon is wearing a black lower-than-low cut Calvin Klein, Kim Cattrall is in a red Vivienne Westwood dress, and Kristin Davis is wearing a vintage fuscia number.



Their next stop was Berlin, Germany. Sarah Jessica Parker dazzled in a body-hugging Versace, Kristin Davis wore a green 40's style Oscar de la Renta dress with black Louboutins, Cynthia Nixon looked refined in a sleek low-cut black gown, and Kim Cattrall wore a very complicated, slightly unflattering orange dress.



And now for the big guns...the New York City premiere! At last! The ladies did not disappoint. The theme of the night was clearly metallic (with the exception of Cynthia Nixon in white). Let me start with my favorite. Sarah Jessica Parker looked AMAZING in Nina Ricci (and redeemed herself for the previously mentioned tree-hat). Up next: Kristin Davis who looked stunning in a pleated gold Donna Karan creation. Cynthia Nixon was very ethereal in a white Narciso Rodriguez gown. Finally, Kim Cattrall looked über trendy in a strapless Vivienne Westwood.
