Grab a Cosmo! Miss Jamaica Universe 2014 Kaci Fennell-Shirley shows four different ways to wear the LBD from the iconic television series Sex and the City. Fennell-Shirley was styled by local designer, owner of Seora Clothing, and professional stylist Shampagne. The TikTok-style video executed in partnership with HBO as the American television station rolls out HBO Max in Latin America and the Caribbean. The original Sex and the City series premiered on HBO in 1998 and ran for six seasons until 2004. A reboot starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis was announced earlier this year but there’s no word yet, on the release date.
