(Cover) - EN Star Style - Kim Kardashian is taking inspiration from hit TV series Sex and the City for her wedding dress.

The reality television star is currently finalising plans for her highly-anticipated wedding gown with luxury designer Vera Wang.

The 30-year-old star, who has been spotted in the New York City store on a number of occasions of late, has revealed she is taking inspiration from a number of glamorous women, including Sarah Jessica Parker's fictional character Carrie Bradshaw on hit TV show Sex and the City.

"I have been pulling tears of dresses from magazines I really admire on women I've seen like Christina Aguilera's dress the shape of it was beautiful," she told OK! magazine. "I even YouTubed Carrie from the Sex and the City movie, when she tried on all those dresses."

Kim, 30, is set to marry her beau Kris Humphries later this summer. The raven haired-beauty, who is famed for her glamorous look and stunning beauty, is reportedly having the time of her life choosing her dress.

"Everything became real when Kim tried on gowns for the first time," a friend of the star explained. "When she tried on a veil, she started to tear up. She said she knew it was all meant to be! She's on cloud nine right now."

Kim visited the boutique with her sister Kourtney and some trusted friends. The stunning star, who reportedly tried on a mix of strapless bodices and different shaped skirts, is looking for a classic design with a couture edge.

A friend close to the beauty says she has a healthy mix of her own ideas for the gown while still being "open minded" to what others are advising.

"She wants it to be a little bit of high fashion, but also timeless, classic and classy. It will be ivory, and most of the detailing will just be stitchwork or beading," the friend added. "Kim is being super hands-on, and she's making all the decisions so there's no room for any of us to screw up her big day. But she's being open-minded to what Vera Wang and her family has to say."
