SJP Not a Slave to Fashion
Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker (SJP) claims she’s not a slave to fashion like her character Carrie Bradshaw.
In an interview, after the Berlin premiere of her upcoming movie, the 43-year-old actress said, “I am a mother, wife and working woman in the first place, clothes do not play such a big role in my life than they do in Carrie’s.
“And there is no favorite designer or accessory as there is Manolo Blahnik for Carrie — there are so many talented and exciting designers, I could not possibly choose one favorite.”
The Berlin premiere came about due to the enthusiastic fan-base of the HBO series in Europe – much to the chagrin of some of the star’s who believed it should have taken place in New York (where the movie takes place). The series ran from 1998 to 2004 and broke many barriers. Joining Parker on the red carpet Thursday night were co-stars Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis.
The movie begins in the present, with the characters older and more thoughtful than their younger selves. Carrie, now in her early 40s, is a contributing editor to Vogue and a best-selling writer. She’s got more money, and she’s also got Mr. Big (Chris Noth), her longtime love.
Talking about how the movie got off the ground, SJP said: “It took me a year and a half to put this movie back together again,
“I never in a million years thought I could. Our goal was to get the four women on that set. Lo and behold, we did and it was thrilling.”
“People are gonna be stunned, floored and happy,” the actress said of the plot. “They’re gonna be happy, surprised, feel a lot of sadness, and hopefully understand what it is that’s happened in Carrie’s life.”
With the plot of the film still under wraps, fans will have to wait until the movie opens to find out if Carrie ends up in wedded bliss with her man, Mr. Big. But Parker did reveal that fans should expect a grown-up movie.
The film was directed by Michael Patrick King and is bout finding ‘the happy ending’ – but apparently has some surprising twists. When asked about a sequel, SJP replied: “We have not discussed this.” “Sex and the City” opens May 30 in the U.S
