SEX & THE CITY
Carrie Bradshaw has played a major role in fashion ever since she donned that adorable pink tutu dress on Sex and the City in the very first episode. From her over-sized flower dresses to her sophisticated Manolo Blahniks, this girl knew how to shake up New York City with her undeniably exquisite fashion sense. Take a look at these 5 memorable outfits that inspire the "Carrie" in all of us!
Much like his character on Sex in the City, Mr. Big, Chris Noth avoided official commitment for a very long time! But finally Chris has married his long-time fiancee Tara Wilson. The couple has been engaged since 2009 and are parents to 4-year-old son, Orion Christopher.
According to People Magazine, Noth and Wilson tied the knot on the Hawaiian island of Maui last Friday. The actor, 58, met Wilson, 30, while she was working at his bar in New York City, The Cutting Room.
Here’s how sources describe the beautiful secret wedding:
After a full-fledged week of fashion, we were inspired to recognize those who put it all together. What we like to call "The Magicians of Fashion." It sounds fun, but styling is no easy task. In fact, it's an art form. Some can style themselves at the snap of a finger, and others require a little help. Consider this a shout out to all of those stylists who have put together memorable looks, grew from nothing to some of the best in the biz, and even had an influence on trends heard around the world.
The first is Rachel Zoe. We know, no-brainer, right? This fashionista is most well-known for her celeb clientele and her passion for costume jewelry, boho-chic style, and large and in charge dark shades. She has become an inspiration to many where her background lies in New Jersey and her success in the limelight of L.A. With no formal training in styling, she has shown us that anything is possible when you have the drive and hard work in your grasp!
The Carrie Bradshaw fairytale has come to an end. Author, Candace Bushnell, 53, famous for Sex and the City, has filed for divorce from her husband Charles Askegard, 43, after 9 years of marriage. This is probably pretty disappointing news for all the Sex and the City fans who dream of worldwide success and finding love forever with their perfect "Mr. Big" in NYC.
The divorce was confirmed by Bushnell's representatives and papers were filed last Friday, according to The Daily Mail. Bushnell stated 'We had some wonderful times in our nine-year marriage, and I still care about Charles as a person. I respect his desire to pursue his own happiness and hope that we will continue to be friends in the future.'
When Marilyn Monroe danced across movie screens and proclaimed “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend!”, it was one of the most iconic moments in cinema history. The song became a highlight not only for Marilyn’s career, but for many of the jeweler’s mentioned. They garnered mainstream attention --and with good reason. Finally, women had a counterpart to the oft-repeated “dog is man’s best friend." Who needs to play fetch when you could play dress up?
Laying claim to one of the largest diamonds ever discovered, the Tiffany Yellow Diamond, the company set the bar high for excellence in jewelry design early on. At 287.42 carats in the rough, 128.54 carats with 90 facets after it was cut, the massive rock has only been known to have been worn twice since its 1878 discovery in South Africa (one of those women was, of course, Audrey Hepburn while promoting Breakfast at Tiffany’s).
Although Jimmy Choo has been designing and making shoes for over three decades now, the iconic brand, co-founded with British Vogue accessories editor Tamara Mellon, wasn't officially started until 1996. In honor of the its past 15 years, Jimmy Choo Ltd held an exhibition featuring 15 of its best selling shoe designs in a pop-up store inside Paris retailer Le Bon Marché.
The exhibit, which opened Wednesday, has the vintage shoe designs on display safely in glass cases. In addition to the 15 commemorated designs, customers can also view a capsule collection dubbed "Icons" that was inspired by the vintage pieces. "Icons" includes famous designs like the Sex and the City "Feather" shoe that Carrie famously lost in an early episode, and ‘Fleur’, a pair of striped heels Tamara Mellon wore when she met the queen. Customers will also be able to flip through electronic copies of the commemorative book "Jimmy Choo XV," that tells the companies history through the featured 15 on iPads.
The pop-up exhibit will be available for viewing until December 31st this year.
Rumors have been swirling that a Sex and the City prequel might be in the works.
But now, Michael Patrick King, who directed the four ladies in the two S&TC blockbusters, and who was an executive producer on the HBO series, has put the rumors to rest.
He told reporters during the Television Critics Association press tour, “My Carrie started at 33, and I took her to 43. I didn’t even want to know who her parents were. The idea of going back in time…and making her less evolved — the idea of going backward — is not something I’m interested in doing.”
Could it be? Imagine how Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, & Samantha were in their high-school/college years?
Blessed with a whirlwind movie career, an unbelievable business swagger, and a sense of style so iconic she'll go down in fashion history among the likes of Coco Chanel and Jackie O, Sarah Jessica Parker can do it all. An accomplished actress from a young age, Parker is best known for her role as "Carrie Bradshaw" on Sex and the City, the hit TV series turned movie sequel, where she also served as executive producer.
Former president and chief creative officer for Halston Heritage (reports just surfaced that she will no longer be associated with the company), Golden Globe winner, Emmy winner, UNICEF representative, and former Gap spokeswoman make up a mere fraction of her credentials list. She also has a fragrance brand that grosses seven-figures a year as well as a clothing brand. If that weren't enough, Monolo Blahnik has named a shoe after her, the SJP.
Alec Baldwin was seen at 11:30 grabbing a cup 'o Joe in NYC, He's just like everyone else, we love it!
In more recent Baldwin news, the 30 Rock star tweeted about his views on gay marriage and on those in opposition to it. Yesterday, he messaged his 150,000 + followers, "Marriage equality...vote yes."
Of course there were nay-sayers who attempted to attack the actor, including one saying, "Marriage IS supposed to be between a man and woman." But Alec simply replied ,"It's all cool honey...Jesus is down with the gay marriage thing. He called me. In fact, he's very happy."
