Manolo Blahnik stilettos, Louis Vuitton handbags, gigantic corsages and outrageous hats... it can only be the return of Sex And The City.
Whether you're looking forward to the labels or the love stories, the sight of our favourite foursome on the big screen has got us all into a serious fashion frenzy.
With no fewer than 81 wild and wonderful costume changes throughout the film, Carrie Bradshaw's wardrobe is a serious plot-line in itself.
"There's some of the latest Vivienne Westwood collection, plus there are some of (SATC stylist) Patricia Field's outrageous choices," says Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays style-savvy journalist Carrie.
From trend-innovator Carrie to ladylike Charlotte, there's a character's wardrobe to appeal to us all.
Forget the airfare to Manhattan, the British high street is all the stomping ground you need to snap up some SATC style.



CARRIE COUTURE
More adventurous and eclectic than ever. While men may snigger at some of her creative fashions, women swoon with delight.

In the movie, spot sassy tailoring, giant corsages, clashing, big-bloom prints and voluminous jackets. Statement belts and teetering gladiator heels are key to her look – in one scene she even pairs her trademark stilettos with pyjamas to hit Manhattan's streets.
"There's a black belt I wear a lot," Parker explains. "I named him Roger. Roger's on camera more than I am!"
GET THE LOOK: Fuchsia pink shift dress, £35; black studded belt, £15; and leather gladiator sandal, £55, all ASOS.com

CHARLOTTE CHIC
Signature strapless prom style frocks and classy shift dresses make up Charlotte's show-stopping wardrobe.

Think classy Jackie O; always preened to perfection from head-to-toe. Charlotte-style detailing includes skinny waist belts, sleek court shoes and black Jackie O shades, topped off with an immaculate blow dry.
"I'm not good at fashion so Charlotte totally changed my style," Davis admits.
GET THE LOOK: Principles black and white floral prom dress, £95; Accessorize Grace Kelly pearl clutch,
£30 ; Shellys Sassy snakeskin peep-toe court shoe, £60.

MIRANDA MODE
The most understated look of the famous four but no less impressive, working Park Avenue chic and sleek.

Miranda shows off her business mum fashion credentials in versatile monochrome prints and a muted colour palette of flattering bronze, gold, brown and blue.
"I'm going to be 42, so I don't want to be wearing short skirts," Nixon says of Miranda's SATC wardrobe. "Maybe it's helped me grow up a little bit."
GET THE LOOK: Desigual geometric dress, £49 at Sunday Best; J by Jasper Conran gold bag, £32.50 at Debenhams; Pinko metallic snake belt, £115 at ASOS.

SAMANTHA SEX BOMB
She may hit the big 5-0 in the film but Samantha has upped the sexy stakes. By day, think 80s figure-hugging power suits and by night, clingy glitzy numbers that show off her curves to the max.

Samantha shines in bright block colours like racy red, canary yellow and lime green. Oversized jewellery plays a big role in her ensembles – as well as her latest must-have accessory, a puppy dog.
Cattrall says of her character's wardrobe: "There's a lot of beige and sunshine, a 'golden-kind-of-girl' feeling to it."
GET THE LOOK: Max Mara yellow silk dress, £265 at House of Fraser; Issie B faux snakeskin bag, £55 at House of Fraser; Freemans yellow strappy sandal, £45.
