Drapery in Abu Dhabi

Courtney Smallbeck: If this movie causes Samantha's pants to become a prominent Minneapolis fashion trend, I'm moving. Charlotte is looking retro-licious. It's safe to say that Miranda has an unfortunate passion for paisley.

Daune Stinson: It is not Hammer time. Please make the harem pants go away. Charlotte looks too cartoony and matchy matchy, even for her. If I saw this group standing in a Minneapolis hotel lobby, I'd wonder why one of the women was dressed like a Starlight Mint.

Christopher Straub: Carrie is dressed like she's a 90-year-old former actress recalling "when I was a star" moments. All that's missing is a cigarette in one hand and a dirty martini in the other.

What they're wearing:

Miranda: vintage jumpsuit, Ralph Lauren shoes, Jee Vice sunglasses and Samantha Wills earrings.

Carrie: Halston dress, vintage turban, Low Luv cuff and Manolo Blahnik shoes.

Samantha: Ralph Lauren pants.

Charlotte: vintage dress, Chanel belt, Julien David scarf, Miu Miu shoes, Patricia Underwood hat, Cartier bracelets and Louis Vuitton luggage.

Mirage a la mode

Courtney Smallbeck: May I join you?
Kathy Ryan: A perfect balance of gorgeous simplicity. I can see all of these dresses being worn on hot summer nights in Minneapolis.
Hollie Mae Schultz: Just a typical picnic at Lake Calhoun with the girls — pistachios, dates and Christian Louboutins.
Christopher Hopkins: I want to see the shot of them trying to get back up.

What they're wearing
Charlotte: Vintage dress, Chanel necklace, Rodrigo Otazu bracelet and Christian Louboutin shoes.
Carrie: Halston dress, Stella McCartney tank, Reem Acra belt, Bea Valdes bag, Cocotay cuffs and Manolo Blahnik shoes.
Miranda: Mara Hoffman dress and Roberto Cavalli bracelet.
