Sarah Jessica Parker works the lampshade dress as Carrie Bradshaw
There's a new dress in town, the lampshade dress is the only style to be seen in now. It was pioneered by, who else, Sarah Jessica Parker, in this summers, Sex and the City movie and has finally filtered down to the high street.
You can get your own version of Carrie's red rose lampshade dress from the Patricia Field collection at Marks and Spencer, £99. Patricia has created a perfect replica of the dress from the film, slip it on and head out for cocktails just like the Sex and the City girls.
Lily Allen has been spotted in Miss Selfridge's lampshade dress, £45. The black metallic colour of the dress is great for this season's gothic look and it also has a fabulous on-trend frill detail neckline.
If you're feeling a bit braver Miss Selfridge also have a leopard print version of the dress, £45.
This gorgeous lampshade dress, £65 by Rare at Oli, is in the colour of the moment, purple. Keep all attention on the dress by wearing minimal accessories.
If you want to try this style but in a more formal way try this prom dress, Warehouse £70. The corset top and bow waist means it's perfect for a special occasion.
With all these great versions on the high street there's no excuse not to snap up this trend.
