It’s abso-fuckin-lutely fabulous

Finally. Eight years after Vivienne Westwood launched that iconic wedding dress Carrie Bradshaw wore in the first Sex And The City movie, someone else has created a Carrie-inspired gown. About time if you ask us.

Appropriately enough, the good idea came from Oscar de la Renta, a brand close to Carrie’s heart. Remember when Aleksandr Petrovsky got her that dreamy pink dress in Paris?

Creative directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia debuted the gown at New York Bridal Week and it’s as fabulous as you’d expect.

Featuring an off-white cami top, satin belt and gigantic tutu, it’s just the right amount of OTT.

Garcia says they took inspiration from Sarah Jessica Parker’s 2014 Met Gala ballgown, ‘We had a little homage to the Sarah Jessica Parker moment with the [Oscar de la Renta] signature on the skirt.’

But we think it’s way more reminiscent of her alter ego Carrie’s outfit in the SATC opening credits, right down to the ‘Just Married ‘necklace, just like the ‘Carrie’ one (‘I only wear gold like my ghetto gold jewellery for fun’).

Either way, it's abso-fuckin-lutely fabulous and we want it.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
