Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha. Those four girls. Their individual style. Yes, the second Sex and the City film is here!

The movie, which premiered in Adelaide last Friday, will see women of all ages unite for a feast of fun, fashion and friendship. It doesn’t matter about the story line, gee, all most women care about is the outfits the girls wear. It’s really just about escapism, and two hours worth of it.

But as for the storyline? Well, it’s nothing groundbreaking. In fact, you could take a snooze  and upon waking still get the gist of what’s going on. The film picks up two years on from the first Sex and the City film. Carrie and Big are falling into a rut, Charlotte’s daughter is experiencing the ‘terrible twos’, Miranda is struggling with her job and Samantha is beginning to experience the effects of menopause.  The four girls need to get away and, by way of coincidence, Samantha snares the girls an all expenses trip to Abu Dhabi. It is in Abu Dhabi that the majority of the film is based.

Of course costume designer and stylist Patricia Field brings the goods with the fashion. Outfits are changed in seemingly every scene reminding us just how fun fashion should be. And truthfully, it really is the fashion that is the highlight of the film.

Let’s be honest, most girls are going to see the film regardless of the reviews. I just hope they don’t make a Sex and the City 3.
