Glam Slam: Carrie Bradshaw’s Look For Less

I’ve had ‘Sex’ on my mind a lot lately and it’s because the ladies of the highly anticipated ‘Sex and the City’ sequel are hitting the town as they gear up to promote the film, which comes out May 27.

First, Sarah Jessica Parker ruled the Oscars red carpet in a very Carrie Bradshaw-esque Chanel Couture gown. Then, last night, the stylish ladies headlined the ShoWest Awards in Vegas, baby.

(SJP in Marchesa, Cynthia Nixon in Roberto Cavalli and Kristin Davis in Oscar de la Renta)

All this fab fashion is amping up the anticipation for the ‘Sex’ style headed our way. Ever since they started shooting the sequel, the Glam Slam squad has been obsessing over every detail, including SJP rocking this glamorous and ultra expensive ensemble. Want the look for less? We’ve got that too… or do like Carrie would and mix high and low together. (Hey, we’re all about options!)
