Sex and Fashion in the City
By
Vanessa Jennings

 

This weekend many women and some men went to see Sex in the City for two reasons. To see if Carrie and Big ever marry and to see what Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte would be wearing to the wedding if they did!

THE OPENING OUTFIT. An obtrusively over sized flower on the dress Carrie was wearing. Over the top from the start. Enough said.

THE STUDDED BELT. It’s all about accessories and belts are still a hot commodity. You will see every character wearing one at different times throughout the movie. The studded belt was worn by Carrie more than a few times a few different ways. I personally loved the belt but thought it was strange how often she wore it.

THE PEARLS. Carrie continually wore a single strand of pearls throughout the movie. She even wore them to bed. I believe I counted them 5 or 6 times while I was watching. Then my friend next to me said, “The pearls again?” I laughed out loud. Were these meant to make such a statement? Are we going to see pearls on everyone now? I personally have been wearing my multi strand one more recently. Will the single long strand be the next hottest accessory?

THE 80’s. Samantha was a total 80’s throw back, with a little 70’s mixed in. Over the top definitely, but she lived in Hollywood now. Is that how they’re dressing out there? I don’t see it happening on the east coast. We do have our 80’s mix but not a full throw back. Thank goodness she’s coming home!

THE WEDDING GOWN #1. Absolutely Gorgeous! Vivienne Westwood out did herself. The bird/feather head piece, great for Carrie general public would have trouble pulling it off.

THE WEDDING GOWN #2. Shoes can make or break an outfit and the shoes made it!

I loved the fact they threw in the bag, borrow or steal web site. This is a real site. The web address is www.bagborrowsteal.com

Louise ( Jennifer Hudson) looked great. Her role may have been small but she wore it well, literally.

The makeup seemed a little heavy to me with the main characters. Too much can make you look older and that is what I noticed.

Of course at times Carrie was overdone, Miranda sometimes looking “under done”, Charlotte always looked appropriate for Charlotte,
Samantha, although older, still shining and but isn’t that what we expect from this show?
I enjoyed the movie. I enjoyed the styles.
