How fabulous was Sex?! Full of fun, friendship and, of course, fierce fashion, Sex and the City 2 was one big extravagant party. The return of Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) did not fail to live up to expectation with martini -sipping and a penchant for amazing heels in this splashy sequel shot in Morocco. Thanks to the featured ‘Abu Dhabi’ getaway, the fab four indulged in warm weather and Middle Eastern-inspired styles, a trend you should be looking out for this summer! Here’s how to get the high fashion of Sex and the City 2 without having to marry a rich guy or own a PR firm:

1) Maxi Dresses

The long Maxi dress was very popular in SATC 2 as well as a favorite from last summer season. Easy, breezy and versatile, a dress like Alloy’s Halter Maxi, $29.90-$31.90, is sure to add a pop of sexy glamour to practically any event this summer — from an outdoor wedding or to a weekend barbecue.

2) Ball Gown Skirts

Not exactly understated but oh so fierce! My absolute favorite outfit in SATC 2 had to be Carrie’s purple ball gown skirt and tiny Dior t-shirt because it was the perfect mesh of simple and over-the-top. Make your own luxe outfit with Victoria’s Secret’s Long Skirt in Beach Linen, $39.50

3) Metallic Accessories

What’s an outfit without accessories? Pile them on with stacked bracelets like Forever 21’s Avignon Bracelet Set, $6.80 and statement necklaces such as the Venus Lure from Banana Republic, $79.50.
