'Sex and the City' stars sport Versace at Berlin premiere of new film
May 15, 2008BERLIN - Sarah Jessica Parker sported a Versace outfit and Kim Cattrall enthralled cheering fans with perfect German as they, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis wowed Berlin at the continental premiere of the "Sex and the City" film.
It was part of a whirlwind courtship of Europe, where the former HBO show still counts an enthusiastic fan base despite having gone off the air four years ago. The quartet of New York women whose lives and loves were documented in the HBO series said time's passage has not dulled their respective characters' edge nor their personal bonds.
Parker, who plays columnist Carrie Bradshaw, and who made a splash earlier this week at the London premiere wearing a soaring Philip Treacy hat, was more subdued Thursday night, wearing a glittering beige, corsage-shaped dress.
"Versace made it for me tonight, specifically for Berlin," she said.
Nixon, who plays lawyer and mother Miranda, wore a long black gown and said that for women, friendship remained "extremely important."
Davis, whose Charlotte suffered a failed marriage but found happiness with a balding divorce lawyer, said shooting the film, which features characters from the show including the elusive yet sentimental Mr. Big, was "wonderful," but not too different from shooting the series.
"It was wonderful, not really that different," she said. "You just have to shoot a little longer."
Cattrall, whose Samantha went through man after man before settling with a younger beau who remained by her side despite illness, said her character was still wrestling with personal demons, namely the challenge of monogamy.
"Monogamy and Samantha don't always go together, so that's her big conflict," said Cattrall, who chatted with fans in German.
The film opens May 30 in the United States.
