Let's Talk About Sex

The countdown has begun and in case you didn't already know I'm totally obsessed with Sex and the City. Loved the show when it was on and my box set is my ultimate go to when I want to chill out and watch something. (my ADD means I'm not that good at watching films). We have just about a month to go as the film is released on May 29th...a date that's been etched in my memory for months.

The storylines, the witty banter, the fabulous characters, the sexy city, the glamourous lives and oh my oh my....the clothes.

So as we all eagerly anticipate our lives being graced with the magic that is Sex and The City...I've done some mighty fine research to bring you my favourite outfits from the show.

Nothing much to report from Season 1 (i.e. no budget) so we'll start with Season 2.

LOVE this dress. Donna Karan at her finest. They way it moves and shimmers and reveals a little more leg than you probably should at a wedding, supremely sexy...all that and Big walks out to take a call while she's giving her speech. Ah well.


Charlotte wore the hell out of this Richard Tyler dress to a wedding. Black, plunging halterneck....once again a little va-va-voom for a wedding but when you look that hot who cares about propriety?


And moving onto season 4. Carrie rocked this beautiful Badgley Mischka dress to a wedding with Aidan. And that hair is fierce. Love this dress so much it gets two pictures...but you really need to see the back.

How bridal can a woman look when she's refusing to wear her (Harry Winston no less!) engagement ring...and chooses to wear it on a necklace as that 'keeps it closer to her heart'. That's priceless commitment-phobia in full effect. Gotta love the show.


Still on season 3 and unlike a lot of people at the time, loved the haircut and I'm so in love with that Vivienne Westwoood suit. Now that's what I call a suit.


Onto season 4 and Carrie brings the sex to the city with this fabulous killer outfit. The apple green Vivienne Westwood skirt worn with the sexy Chloe top and vintage belt...was she on the rebound? This looks like the perfect rebound outfit so if she wasn't and you are....you know what to do.


One of the more left of centre looks but I love it. Patricia Field does an amazing job of championing the lesser known designers and this Imitation of Christ dress looks fabulous, worn with Manolos and a Lulu Guinness striped tote.


Killing the primaries with this gorgeous Tracy Feith colour block dress...and the strawberry Kenneth Jay Lane necklace that sparked a huge global trend.


Onto season 5, the short season. And my word did Patricia Field work some magic at making diaphonous look...diaphonous and not I'm-trying-really-hard-to-not-look-preggers. Love this cute classic little Marni jacket with a fabulously feminine floral dress.


Charlotte looking demure and sexy in a vintage duck egg blue top. Love, love, love the super feminine style they worked with for Charlotte.


Season 6 was the jackpot season for wardrobe. Miranda...wasn't so keen on her wardrobe for the most part but I guess they had to work with the job (lawyer). Loved this Ilya frock on her though and the colour really suits her. And Charlotte looking cute as a button in a Plenty by Tracy Reese dress.

Charlotte got married to Harry in this Audrey Hepburn inspired Badgley Mischka dress.


At Miranda's autumn wedding Carrie wore this beautiful Badgley Mischka dress with a superpretty Luisa Beccaria floral print dress coat (you can just about see it draped over the back of her chair). Love the updo too.


The chick managed to look hot doing jury duty. And created a global sell-out for Manolo with those shoes. Cute hair too.


Fabulous, fabulous Marc Jacobs cocktail dress. And didn't she handle Edith fawning over Alexandre like a champ?


And with a cheeky nod to the Jane Austen era strumpet...Charlotte wore this Ralph Lauren corset well. Very well. Almost enough to make me want to own some Ralph Lauren.


In case you didn't know, I love purple and I loved, loved, loved this Sonia Rykiel jumper dress. It had sold out by the time I found out who it was by but i did eventually get my hands on something incredibly similar and yes, I still love it to bits.


Shall we dance? Nobody does couture like Oscar De La Renta and the dude is 75 and still going strong. Gotta respect that. A classic moment as Carrie passed out outside the opera and they ended up having their dinner and dance at McDeux.


They milked the hell out of the American in Paris with wardrobe but what's a great love story without un petit peu de fromage? And naturally they waved the American flag with the Jill Stuart dress and the Delaura hat, and said 'allo to the French with the Balenciaga coat, Rochas gloves and Christian Louboutin shooboots. Nice.


And going deeper with all things French, I loved this Balenciaga dress (very Minnie Mouse) with the cute Christian Lacroix coat and of course, Christian Louboutin heels.


The most classic all-dressed-up-and-nowhere-to-go outfit I've ever seen. A little OTT perhaps but when in France do as the Americans do...and overdress. JUST JOKING! It was an easy one. And effort is often overrated.


And we leave the girls back in their sexy city looking fabulous. Abso-figgin-lutely baby.
