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.

Last night was Jack and my date night! Nothing crazy fancy, just burritos and a movie. I won’t say much about it, aside from that we very much enjoyed it and Jack cried at the Louis Vuitton gift scene, hehe.

And here’s the conclusion to yesterday’s countdown of my favorite Sex and the City episodes. It was pretty tough narrowing it down so much, but I managed.

05. “I Love A Charade” Season 5, Episode 8
The girls are invited to the unlikely wedding of Carrie’s supposedly gay friend, flamboyant lounge singer Bobby Fine to society lady Bitsy Von Muffling. Charlotte’s new ‘just sex’ partner, Harry, invites her to be his date for the big Hamptons wedding. In another not so clear relationship, Miranda inexplicably finds herself having sex with Steve. Meanwhile, Samantha calls upon the services of her ex, Richard, in another way: she arranges to throw a party at his house in the Hamptons. On the way out to the Hamptons, Carrie runs into Jack Berger, who tells her he broke up with his girlfriend. Carrie can’t help but feel that zsa zsa zsu.

04. “I Heart NY” Season 4, Episode 18
It’s autumn in New York and Carrie’s yearning for some company. She invites herself over to Big’s apartment, finding it filled with shipping boxes. Samantha is also feeling abandoned as Richard is late for their rendezvous. Meanwhile, while leading a tour at the Museum of Modern Art, Charlotte is asked out by one of the visitors. Carrie keeps Miranda sane as she gives birth to a healthy baby boy.

03. “An American Girl in Paris (Part Une)” Season 6, Episode 19
Before leaving for Paris, Carrie runs into Big outside of her apartment, but she makes it clear to him that she wants him totally out of her life. In her travels, she sees four women having a meal together, which combined with the frustration of losing her signature “Carrie” necklace in a spill at Dior, makes her think about her usual dining companions who are now an ocean away. Meanwhile, back in New York, Samantha is chosen to speak at a benefit for breast cancer research. Her speech starts out stiffly, but she soon loosens up, and wins over the audience with her usual blunt manner. Charlotte and Harry continue their quest to adopt a child, with the newlyweds knowing that the process is going to be long and difficult.

02. “The Good Fight” Season 4, Episode 13
As Aidan and all his stuff officially move into Carrie’s apartment, Carrie starts feeling increasingly claustrophobic. Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte tease Samantha about her affection for her client and lover, Richard. Miranda, meanwhile, would love to get laid by her blind date, Walker Lewis, but is conflicted about having sex while pregnant. When Trey brings Charlotte a surprise present - a cardboard baby, Charlotte is appalled and also storms out.

01. “An American Girl in Paris (Part Deux)” Season 6, Episode 20
After Petrovsky leaves Carrie behind for a second time in Paris, she begins to wonder if she’s doomed to follow in his ex-wife’s footsteps. Back in New York, Samantha’s chemo treatments are messing with her sex drive, and she tries to push Smith away in an attempt to cope with it. Hoping to adopt a baby, Charlotte and Harry host an expectant couple from North Carolina, with the intent of acquiring their unborn child. Miranda and Steve have their hands full, as his mom, Mary, has suffered a small stroke.

Enjoy the movie; I know I will!

As I’m sure a lot of girls out there are, I’m uber excited about Sex and the City coming out next week. So, in anticipation of this glorious occasion, I thought I would go through the rundown of my top 10 episodes. (This’ll be a two-part countdown: 10-6 today, 5-1 tomorrow). Let the fun begin!

10. “The Freak Show” Season 2, Episode 3
Are all men freaks? Carrie dates a bunch of freaks before she meets Ben, then ruins a great thing when she turns into a freak; Samantha goes on a first date with a man who wears dog collars and likes to be slapped around; Charlotte dates “Mr. Pussy” but realizes that’s all he’s good for; Miranda gives up on dating entirely.

09. “Models and Mortals” Season 1, Episode 2
Miranda makes the mistake of going out with a “modelizer” (someone who’s obsessed with models); Samantha chooses to go out with a modelizer and has her sexual encounter videotaped; Carrie experiments with Derek the Model and flirts with Mr. Big.

08. “Twenty-Something Girls vs. Thirty-Something Women” Season 2, Episode 17
Twenty-something women. Friend…or foe? Carrie and the girls get a share in the Hamptons, where Samantha’s ex-assistant steals her Rolodex and throws a party; Charlotte dates a twenty-something guy who gives her crabs; Miranda runs into the hairstylist she’s suing for age discrimination; and Carrie discovers Big dating a 26-year-old named Natasha.

07. “Great Sexpectations” Season 6, Episode 2
Unfortunately, after a night of “quiet sex,” Carrie discovers that the passion the two share doesn’t translate to the bedroom. Meanwhile, when Samantha introduces the girls to a “raw foods” restaurant, she discovers that she wants something that’s not on the menu… a date with the hot waiter. Hoping to fill the Steve-sized hole in her life, Miranda finds a new love, TiVO. Having decided that Harry is indeed her ideal man, Charlotte announces that she is going to convert to Judaism.

06. “All or Nothing” Season 3, Episode 10
Samantha throws a self-congratulatory soiree at her new apartment where she tries to convince the girls that they have it all — great friends, good jobs, and plenty of sex. Carrie tries to play along, but her fling with Big eats away at her. On the Charlotte front, Trey lays down a pre-nuptial agreement which has Charlotte worth a measly half a mill. Meanwhile Miranda meets her first man post-Steve. George is a cute yuppie from out of town who turns Miranda onto the wonders of phone sex.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s instillation!
