Sex and the City style - SJP

Her hair

To achieve this fabulous 'do, rough dry hair from wet applying a volumising mousse such as Paul Mitchell Extra Body Sculpting Foam, £8.25 (0845 659 0012) for extra body.

'Place in a low side parting, blow-dry the hair concentrating on the roots, and then tip the head forward for that extra volumised edge,' says Akin Konizi, International Creative Director for hob salons.

Section areas of the crown and back-comb at the roots to build height, then gather the hair into a ponytail and secure. Smooth over the front and brush through the ponytail to give a loose and natural, yet stylised feel.

Complete with hairspray to achieve perfect hold and ultimate shine - we like Aveda Air Control Hair Spray, £14.50 (www.aveda.co.uk or call 0870 034 2380).

Her skin

SJP's skin is deliciously sunkissed, with dramatic eyes and natural lips. Play up a light tan with a tinted moisturiser or liquid bronzer such as Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Luminous Liquid Bronzer, £20, which delivers a radiant, glowy finish to face, shoulders and decolletage.

Add a healthy glow to the apples of your cheeks with a warm peachy-pink blush; try Benefit Dallas, £22.50, which is the perfect combination between bronzer and blush.

Her eyes

The actresses' eyes are a real focal point of this look; start by sweeping a mid-grey eyeshadow onto eyelids and into the eye crease - we love Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow in Slate, £16.99.

Follow this with lashings of jet black thickening mascara such as Zuzu Luxe Mascara, £12.95 (pictured right - available from www.absolutelypure.com), and if you want to further maximise volume or length, add a few individual false lashes for extra batting power.

Finish the look by slicking a sheer pink lipgloss onto lips; we like Bourjois Effect 3D Lip Gloss in Rose Mythic, £6.95.

Her Style

We discovered this gorgeous sleeveless Miso Frill Printed Blouse, for a penny-saving £16.99 at Republic (www.republic.co.uk or call 0113 3900 974).

And to complete this ultra feminine look, pick up this pretty White Flower Necklace for £8 at George at Asda.
