Holy Shoulder Pads–Carrie and Co. have released the launch date (May 28, 2010), sneak peeks and the first official trailer of the much-awaited sequel Sex and the City 2–a.k.a. SATC2.
Everyone but your mother appears to be cameo-ing along with the fab four–Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte–as the film carries on two years later since the first one sated our appetites for this girl-fest franchise.
From the snippets we’ve read and seen, teeny teen sensation Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana upstages the un-upstageable Samantha by wearing the same gown (yes, it’s the horror, the horror) to a film premiere, and Liza Minelli sings at a gay wedding attended by the gal pals.
The luscious Penelope Cruz plays herself, and her replacement post-Tom, Katie Holmes pops in all business-suited and powerful as an exec. It is even rumoured (but please say it isn’t so) that Britain’s glamazon Jordan is auditioning for a role as a sexy British nanny (isn’t this an oxymoron?)!
Back to the posse.
Clothed like 70′s and 80′s fashion crimes by wardrobe mistress Patricia Field in a series of flashbacks, Carrie and Samantha channel Studio 54 with leggings, big layered hair and batwings. Sam does not disappoint us in a Desperately Seeking Susan kind of way, replete with tie-dye, acid wash and fish net. Carrie looks like Madonna looks now. Charlotte, no matter the towering Louboutins, is still wearing Lily P. and peplums like a time-warped suburban housewife. Poor Miranda, paraded in mustard of all colors, looks less and less like a lawyer and more like a hapless hostess at a restaurant frequented by the gang.
Flash to the desert and sand dunes, and the girls look like they’ve found an oasis at La Mamounia after a Bedouin camel trek. Sam is dedecked in a one-piece cozzie with more bling than Tiffany and Carrie is actually wearing a turban! All this in the name of ‘sometimes you just have to get away with the girls’. (Give us a beach!)
Without divulging the plot, the interviews so far have only served to foam us up once more about fashionistas versus recessionistas, Mr Big and whether there is going to be a little Mr Big and all things Sarah Jessica Parker, channelling vintage Halston, Chanel and Louboutins, natch, below.
There’s bound to be more press, more glittery snippets and even another perfume, perhaps. But for now, we’re hanging on the trailer.
Bring it on, or should we say, ‘Carrie’ on?!
