It was the perfect antidote to a cold and dreary Monday in Auckland - the premiere screening of the much anticipated Sex And The City 2.
Sex And The City is like porn for those addicted to fashion, with countless outfit changes and every kind of amazing designer shoe and bag a girl could ever dream of.
The fashionistas were out in full force that rainy night at Sylvia Park, secretly checking each other out while swilling back delicious Moet et Chandon champers, which was flowing on tap.
The movie is pure hedonistic escapism. It's so incredibly over-the-top and that was the reason why we were all there.
We all need to inject a bit of fantasy into our lives and the four film characters, Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte, certainly live the dream.
They get to wear the most fabulous designer clothes and accessories, eat at amazing restaurants and bars and get to travel to exotic locations such as Abu Dhabi to stay in hotels that cost $US22,000 a night!
The clothes
We loved Carrie's wardrobe the best (and of course her famous walk-in-wardrobe itself!)
Carrie Bradshaw lives and breathes fashion and takes fashion risks that she gets away with.
Her eclectic style mixes vintage with haute couture pieces and she always looks glam. Even when Carrie's at home "relaxing" she always has something fab on and, naturellement, always paired back with sky-high heels!
Looks we loved
The dress Carrie wears when she goes out to dinner with ex-flame Aidan - by Emilio Pucci.
The amazing white dress Carrie wears in the opening scene is a vintage Halston heritage piece, worn with a stunning necklace by Solange Azagury-Partridge, an amazing gold and metal clutch bag from Chanel, Mykita & Bernhard Wilhelm shades and the most fabulous Christian Louboutin sparkling gold "Pigalle' heels! Wow!
The ball gown/tee look Carries wears at the Abu Dhabi souk is tres Carrie and tres Patricia Field (SATC 's stylist/costume designer). It's a shirt worn with a Dior tee over the top and a purple taffeta underskirt from a Zac Posen ballgown. Topped with sexy Manolo Blahnik shoes.
And don't forget the shoes! Our faves were:
Christian Louboutin "Bridget Strass" heels.
Brian Atwood "Loca" studded purple pumps.
Christian Louboutin gold "Pigalle" glitter heels.
Forget the critics who are all slamming SATC 2 and go and see it for yourselves and enjoy!
See you next week!
