SATC glamour hits London

The ultimate in New York glamour is descending on London with the hotly-anticipated movie premiere of Sex And The City.Fabulous foursome Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon will don their most glamorous outfits and highest Manolos to strut their stuff down the red carpet.The original television series followed the love lives of four professional women in New York, against a background of high fashion and strappy sandals galore.The film finds friends Carrie (Parker), Samantha, (Cattrall), Charlotte (Davis) and Miranda (Nixon) continuing to juggle work and relationships, while navigating motherhood.Chris Noth reprises his role as Carrie's Mr Big, David Eigenberg is Miranda's down-to-earth husband Steve, Evan Handler plays Charlotte's dependable husband Harry, and Jason Lewis makes a showing as actor Smith - Samantha's devoted lover.When pressed to give some clue as to the film's content, Parker said it was "about forgiveness and pursuing love in a way that is real and meaningful"."I think it's about what it means to be a grown-up, and to recognise your own complicity and disappointment," she said."I think in your 20s you spend a lot of time making the boys the villains. There's a difference when you're 40."You really experience loss and disappointment and you have to reconcile what part you played in it."Also co-starring are Candice Bergen as Vogue magazine editor Enid Frick and Academy Award-winning Jennifer Hudson as Carrie's young assistant Louise.The film premieres in London's Leicester Square on Monday and is followed by the film's UK release on May 28.
