Instructions

1. Straighten your hair if it is blond. Samantha's locks are smooth, long, shiny, and blond. You will need to purchase a long, blond wig if your hair is brunette or red.

2. Go to a high end department store, and splurge on a gorgeous designer outfit! If you cannot truly afford it, check on the store's return policy. You can wear the outfit for just one night, and return it the next day if you are careful to keep all tags and receipts. If you are going with this option, be extremely careful to avoid spills, and pay cash for the easiest method of return.

3. Sail on over to the shoe store of your local mall. It's always a great idea to shop on sale days. Pick out a pair of truly cute, matching stiletto heels. You want the shoes to enhance the outfit. Wear the outfit for shoe shopping if possible. The trick is to coordinate. Samantha is very well coordinated in her fashion.

4. Choose hose that compliment the shoes and dress. Tan is predictable, but go for white if it would be best with the clothes. The key is to make it all look as pulled together as possible.

5. Pick your accessories carefully. Samantha wants to be subtle in her fashion. She exudes sensuality in how she behaves and looks. She doesn't need to go outrageous with her fashion sense to be noticed. Choose something pretty and elegant. For added fun, you could try to get a fake version of the huge diamond flower ring that she wore in the feature film.

6. Do your make-up. Samantha is rarely seen without being fully made up. She's a glamour girl.
