Love it or hate it you can't deny the impact that Sex and The City 2 has had on fashion this season. From harem pants to Halston Heritage the girls' trip to Abu Dhabi was pure fashion fantasy. The big fashion trend that has transferred as effortlessly from the big screen into our wardrobes is the maxi dress.

Sugahfix.com has teamed up with Diet Coke to bring you a selection of the best maxi dresses and essential earrings to get the SATC2 Abu Dhabi look.

Safari looks used to be all about utility: safari suits with multi pockets - this year Sex and the City's uber stylist Patricia Field unleashed her styling genius on Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda's wardrobes.

She kicked the khaki and went completely wild with vibrant colour and yards of fabric to billow like Bedouin tents in the desert.

Diet Coke's ethos is all about ‘loving it light' and the light flowy fabric of the perfect maxi dress makes dressing for summer so effortlessly easy - we're loving it!. Wear with gladiator flats and accessories to suit your mood: pile on the jangling jewellery or let the dress do all the work for you.

We're loving the navy cutwork maxi dress (£55) from ASOS.com (below centre) which instantly reminded us of a similar vintage number Carrie wore in the SATC series and it's also a similar shape to the tangerine dress Carrie wears for her walk on Abu Dhabi's beach as she reflects on her kiss with Aiden. 

The embroidery, scalloped edge and crisscross waistband detail all cinch in that waist. The shape also elongates the body as it draws the eye downwards to the detail on the hem.

The ‘Monica' maxi £70 from Monsoon (pictured top) is perfect for summer nights. Team with beachy hair, oversized earrings and bangles galore. The ultimate floaty maxi dress (pictured above) from M&S Per Una Speziale range (£175) with beading and jewelled detail really is special - perfect for a wedding or the races but can also be worn for easy night-time glamour.

The long lines of the floaty maxi dress are fabulous for the fuller figure. The long lines elongate the body and skim over any lumps and bumps. The is gorgeous tiered skirt maxi dress(£65) from Evans (below left) hides upper arms and brings attention to the areas you want to show off - that curvaceous cleavage!

Proving that maxi doesn't have to mean print (pictured right)- this White 'Goddess' one shoulder maxi dress (£70) by Label Lab at House of Fraser (pictured right) would be brilliant addition to a holiday wardrobe as it could be thrown on with a pair of flip flops for dinner and you'll look instantly elegant. Holiday packing tip - don't fold jersey items - roll them! Work from the top down to the hem and you'll be able to wear your maxi dress straight from the suitcase with zero ironing.

Patricia Field loves to style the SATC gals with huge statement earrings for their Abu Dhabi scenes. Get the look with oversized styles in natural materials like wood, shell, feathers and precious metal tones. Earrings bring attention up to the face and larger shapes are very flattering on the jawline. They also add shape and detail to compliment soft wavy hairstyles as worn by the SATC gals throughout the film.
