Sex & the City Style Halloween Costume: Carrie

Fabulous! If you want to bring a little Sex & The City to Halloween this year, there can be no doubt that it is anything but fabulous. For those of you that were fans of the show, saw the movie, or just love all that Sex & The City is about, Halloween can be a perfect time of year to celebrate your inner Carrie. You can create the perfect Carrie costume with little effort, but you must remember a few key elements.

No matter what you wear, you know that you have to don the Carrie necklace. No Sex & The City costume is complete without the perfect Carrie accessory. As you know from the series or saw in the movie, a big part of Carrie's identity was in her name necklace. This accessory will surely decipher your costume to the masses, and you can go for a cheapie name necklace just to get the effect.

Depending on your own physical attributes, you may want to look into a long blond wig. It's a must that it have the perfect Carrie curl to it, no simple blonde wig will do. This costume is all about the details and getting the hair just right is a must.

An absolutely stunning and high fashion outfit is the essence of the Carrie costume. Carrie is all about high fashion, she pushes the limits with her trendy outfits and your costume must reflect that. If you don't want to shell out a ton of money for a costume, then go to a resale shop and pick up a gorgeous outfit that you can use for another occasion. For Halloween though, it's all about the fabulous outfit that celebrates the latest in fashion. The most important part of this outfit is the shoes--Carrie is all about the shoes so these are a must. No standard shoes will do, so maybe use this holiday as an excuse to go out and get yourself the perfect pair of shoes (designer highly preferred). This is a surefire way to channel your inner Carrie!

A few accessories can really add to your costume and make you stand out from the other wannabees--a pack of cigarettes in hand, a laptop (or prop that looks like one), a cosmo (or martini glass), and maybe even a made up copy of Carrie's book in hand can all create the costume that will have everyone talking. If you really want to have fun and make your Carrie costume fabulous, convince your friends to dress in Charlotte, Samantha, and Miranda costumes to create the perfect foursome. If you know somebody that can make a good "Mr. Big", you will win best costume and be the most fabulous Carrie around!
