Fun trivia about the fashion of Sex and the City movie!
Sarah Jessica Parker makes 81 costume changes in the movie. As for the leads collectively: “I would estimate that there were well over 300 changes for these four women,” Field said in press materials. “And there were many other characters with one or two changes. I never counted up, but I’m sure it was over a thousand costumes. It was monumental.”
For the Vogue fashion shoot in the movie, editrix Anna Wintour had to approve the script, the gowns and even the background players (photographer Patrick Demarchelier, hairstylist Serge Normant, makeup artist Gucci Westman and editors André Leon Talley, Plum Sykes and Lawren Howell). It took eight weeks for Wintour to approve the wedding gowns used in the scene (Vera Wang, Christian Lacroix, Christian Dior, Oscar de la Renta and Vivienne Westwood). It is the only scene that Field did NOT fashion direct.
The breakfast/coffee shop scene has Carrie and Lily coloring in a Cinderella book. Carrie is coloring Cinderella’s glass slippers blue, a reference to the blue Manolo Blahnik shoes that Big puts on Carrie’s foot at the film’s finale. Also, Carrie reads Cinderella to Lily when putting her to bed.
