The Tragic 'Sex And The City' Premiere: Tears, Double D Cups, Wedgies, And Only One Pretty Dress
Posted by Molly Friedman at 3:40 AM on May 29, 2008
What would a Sex And The City movie premiere be without bouts of drama worthy of the show itself? While last night's premiere in New York looked glamorous on camera, on the scene it was another story entirely. From a controversial remark made by the franchise's token villainness to fashion mishaps to thousands of ticketless die-hard fans ending up in tears, the scene outside Radio City Music Hall last night was chaotic and Cosmo-drenched. And that was just the crowd! As for the stars of the film, there were signs that sex-despising Sarah Jessica Parker's co-stars weren't entirely pleased to pose in front of the movie's poster (you know, the one that they don't even appear on). All the scandals and controversy, plus the highs and lows of the cast's fashion choices, after the jump.

As the Daily Mail reports, Cattrall's metallic dress started bunching up 'round her rear end, forcing Kim to cheekily dig out the material from in between her very toned arse, all the while winking. But Kim didn't stop surprising the crowd by allegedly telling reporters at a previous premiere that she "hopes we get to come back and make another." Which is very sweet, but judging from the NY Daily News' report from the scene, a repeat performance of the mob scene isn't something we'd like to see anytime soon:
"Organizers of the celeb-studded event overbooked the 6,000-seat theatre, leaving bounced fans fuming. The angry crowd surged against police barricades, cursing and stomping their Manolo Blahniks."
Even Chris Noth, who's still clinging to that charming rep like a security blanket, blowing kisses to the furious crowd did little to numb the pain. As one fan said, "We waited in line 21/2 hours. I guess we'll go drink a Cosmo or five now." Which is quite possibly the saddest comment made by a woman we've ever heard.

And of course, there were the requisite horrendous fashion choices, notably made by Ashley Olsen in pants so oversized she could have comfortably fit both herself and MK inside, plus Jennifer Hudson's decision to shove approximately 95% of her breasts in photographers' faces and, unsurprisingly, legendary SATC wardrobe wench Pat Fields sporting what may be the most cringeworthy combination of purple and red hair dye we've seen to date. To be fair, dressing horribly is sort of her "thing," so we'll go ahead and forgive the kookiest of all kooky stylists.

@CapnCalamity: Either that or because the character she plays is typically styled in a more masculine persuasion, pant suits, cropped hair, etc.

That's not an Olsen, it's Jessica Felix's mom.

She's pissed because, in my expertly-crafted fashion critiquey opinion, her dress looks dumb.

I like SJP's dress because it draws attention away from the face. And yes, Cynthia Nixon looks lovely. And the brown haired one looks pissed.

Cynthia Nixon didn't get the memo about tin-foil dresses, I see, which is why she doesn't look like a holiday centerpiece.
So over it, so not seeing this.

Is it wrong that I love SJP's dress? And sort of funny that Ms. Nixon is the most feminine looking cast member in these.
The Olsen's pants are ridiculously large, but, more shocking, she looks sort of normal, doesn't she? In the face, anyway.

@waitinformyman: they function as antennae, so the girls can pick up transmissions from the Mars mission. They're total NASA groupies. Also, SJP's dress can confuse and misdirect incoming missiles.

Christ all the money these people earn and access to designers. Or is this the American sense of style?!
