For a decade, Sex and the City has defined style for generations of chic women. As a testament to the series' stylish appeal, SATC, which went off the air in 2004, has lived on in the hearts of addicted fans everywhere. Now, four years after SATC's unwelcome demise, we're finally getting some closure thanks to today's release of Sex and the City, the movie. Will Carrie and big finally get married? Is Charlotte realizing her dream of becoming a mom? Are Steve and Miranda over? One thing is for sure, no matter the story line, it's the beauty and style of SATC's four stars that will serve up our happy ending. And this week, we've got a sneak peek at happiness.

The fashion

It's been said that no one had ever heard of Manolo Blahnik until Carrie. True or not, SATC's fearless sex columnist has undeniably fanned the flames for an abundance of trends from giant flower adornments (season 3) to sky-high, high-priced European shoes. In SATC, the movie, the edgy looks continue. Some looks may seem unwearable for the average woman while others are sure to become stylish staples. Carrie's leather finger tip gloves appear odd but given that they're a creation of SATC's favorite designer, Patricia Field, they may just be destined to become the next big thing. Lauren Messiah, fashion and beauty expert at ThisNext agrees, "Most of the fashions on Sex and the City are unavailable or way out of the average woman's price range. Fingertip gloves can be purchased online for only $32 so I think woman are going to be open to trying out the trend."
