 Sarah Jessica Parker
Spotlight By: Andrea Tuccillo Four years after the Cosmo-sipping, career-oriented, designer shoe-wearing gal pals of Sex and the City bid farewell to cable TV, their saga continues on the big screen with the one and only Sarah Jessica Parker leading the way as sexy single Carrie Bradshaw. Since the show debuted in 1998, Parker has become a female icon, not to mention a fashion icon, who’s all about taking risks. Just take a look at her that green hat-like construction she wore at Sex and the City’s London movie premiere! And while she likes to stand out on the red carpet, her home life is decidedly more low-key. She’s been married to Matthew Broderick since 1997 and the two are raising their 5-year-old son in—where else?—New York City. Parker explains just how the movie-version of HBO’s hit came to be. “In April of 2006, I picked up the phone and I called my agent and I said I really think we should revisit this idea, and it took a long time to get that thought, that sentence to a place where we could include [creator] Michael Patrick [King],” she says. “To have asked him to revisit would be a little bit reckless of me unless I knew there was a chance because I knew he would go and write a script and he can’t just write a script. He has to lock himself away and I didn’t want to pursue it with him until I knew it was a reality, but from that day to this day, that movie has died a hundred deaths. It has been in many homes, many different people financing it. We had practically no prep, no post-production. It has been standard operating procedure for us to function in complete chaos and endless questions and mysteries, but here we are, we did it.” Though the plot points of the film have been shrouded in secrecy, pictures were released of Parker’s Carrie decked out in a truly spectacular wedding dress. “We started talking about wedding dresses in the latter part of June of 2007, so it was really fun and it wasn’t fun necessarily because I was finally living a dream you know? “ she says. “It was just fun because it was everything from, you know, designers from all over western Europe, eastern Europe, Harlem, the Lower East Side. We pulled from Kleinfeld’s, we pulled from Yves Saint Laurent, we pulled from Christian Lacroix, we pulled from a vintage shop in Miami. We had vintage translucent wedding dresses from the 60’s, we had dresses from the 40’s. It was just this ridiculous embarrassment of riches of white fluff and it was wonderful, but that was basically the experience of fittings with [costume designer] Pat [Fields], too. I mean that speaks to the larger idea of what it was to put together 81 outfits for me for the movie.” Parker’s own wedding was a much less fashionable affair. Heck, she didn’t even wear white—she wore black! ... |
