Fabulous is the only way that I can describe Sex and the City: The Movie. A word made famous by Carrie Bradshaw, its meaning is vibrated throughout this charming and surprising continuance of our much loved and adored foursome.

Sitting at Thursday’s special pre-screening, I began to get a bit jittery prior to the lights dimming, and as the previews came to an end, I turned to my best friend, and we smiled.

How I have adored Carrie Bradshaw. I had followed her dating escapades and wardrobe creations for six years, and three more were spent memorizing every episode in the complete series collection. I even had my dad custom make me a solid gold plated necklace like Carrie’s, only my name gleamed and dangled from my neck. Carrie was the one to inspire my personal style. Not only have I fallen in love with Fendi, but I have worn more outfits that have gotten a few stares then I can recall in an attempt to “be fabulous”.

As the beginning credits rolled, my mind raced with thoughts about what this movie held in store for us. Would Carrie stay with Big? Would Charlotte get pregnant? Would Samantha ever settle down? And, of course, what sorts of outfits will Carrie be showing off in her long awaited début?

Out of the 81 wardrobe changes, the most stunning was definitely the Vivienne Westwood gown. Drenched in layers of what I can only imagine was silk and satin, she decorated her head with a sinuous vale accompanied by a teal and blue feather adornment. It was the only piece of her entire wardrobe that I loathed. It stole the spotlight from the gown with its intense color, and ultimately strewed up her vale.

Other favorites of mine were the return of the enormous side flower. Made popular by the show, the detachable (and at times sewn on) flower began popping up on the tops of many prominent designers. Some were giant and some were miniature, but many women across the world dared to wear one. Florals, which are incredibly popular this season, made an appearance on not only Carrie, but a few times on Charlotte as well. I also loved the Eiffel tower and cupcake shaped hand bags, Carrie’s argyle red thigh highs, and of course, the mass quantity of Manolo Blahniks.

This movie was well written, unpredictable, and a definite must see for everyone. During the series finale I was left craving more. I desperately needed to know what happened next, and with this movie, I felt that I truly got my Sex and the City closure. The series, however, has been a part of my life for the last ten years. It became a way of life for my friend and I. Just recently, we sat around and discussed which character we all are over Mimosas at the Theatro Hotel restaurant. Carrie Bradshaw has shared relationship trials with us that we can all relate to, and stood strong through all of them. So to every Carrie Bradshaw out there, may you always stay fabulous!
