Sex and the City 2.jpg Anticipation is steadily building for the next Sex and the City film, and the release of the first official poster means it's only going to intensify. Wearing a white dress and weird mirrored aviator sunglasses, Carrie is looking less fashionista, more robot. Add to this the futuristic background, and I began to wonder... Is the new film set in the distant future, featuring android versions of the sassy, cocktail-drinking ladies we've come to know so well?

As with the first movie, we'll be watching it for the outfits, but we think nothing will match some of Carrie's looks in the first few series - dig out those dvds if you need a reminder. And we're sure that Sarah Jessica Parker gets to wear more exciting outfits in the film than what she's wearing here. White jersey is a lot less interesting than fur coats, floral prom dresses and Eiffel Tower bags.

Stylist to the stars, Patricia Field, is sticking by Sarah Jessica Parker and the rest of the cast on the Sex and the City film sequel (phew!)

Despite reports that she might be quitting due to a row with SJP, Pat has confirmed that she is "absolutely" on board for the next chapter.

"I don't use the recession as a reference for my creativity, true," she told Radar. " I am furious and had a row with Sarah Jessica over whatever? False."

But that's not all. In order to prevent leaks, producers have come up with five scripts for the sequel, each with a different plotline.

One version is even said to include Carrie, Big and a baby. Click here to read more sequel goss.


We've seen him gatecrash Milan Fashion Week and do bizarre things in the second row at Stella McCartney's Paris show, but until now, we haven't been sure how this footage was going to come together to create something which could rival Borat in the funny stakes.

By the looks of this trailer, Bruno - the camp journalist from Austria, otherwise known as comedian Sacha Baron Cohen - is going to more than rival it, as he takes on the fashion world, creates carnage backstage at shows and adopts an African baby Madonna-style. Be warned, this isn't for the faint of heart and an age restriction does apply if you want to watch it.

Listen to the reasoning behind Patricia Field's outlandish choices for Isla Fischer as Rebecca Bloomwood, the central character of the new movie Confessions of a Shopaholic. I can't imagine you're on a fashion blog without knowing a bit about the book already, but if you are, there's also a "From Novel to Screen" clip in the "related videos" you could check out, as well as more clips of Pat Field talking wardrobe.

Then peruse some items based on Rebecca's wardrobe over at Bluefly. My, I'm spending a lot of time on Bluefly today. Must stop shopping, start dinner.

The nominees are in! While the Golden Globes may steal a little bit of award nomination thunder - yes we know Anne Hathaway, Kate Winslet and Angelina Jolie are all going to be up for awards - they certainly don't take away from the red carpet anticipation.

In fact, the excitement only builds after seeing what everyone wore to the Globes. Will Angie, nominated for Actress in a Leading Role for The Changeling, splash out and wear something a bit more exciting? Will Anne Hathaway, up in the same category for Rachel Getting Married, break out one of her more fashion-forward choices?

Check back here Sunday February 22 when we'll be liveblogging the awards. Meanwhile, click through for a list of nominees.

The September Issue Vogue documentary.jpg

R. J. Cutler's new documentary The September Issue debuted at Sundance this past weekend to several packed houses, but when will the general public get to view it?

Well, if you go to Netflix you can add the film to your "saved" queue though no date is listed as to when it will be available. Another hope? A&E, the original destination for the film, says they still plan to air the film sometime this year.

While Anna Wintour didn't make the Friday night premiere, she and daughter Bee Schaffer did attend a public viewing on Saturday, and the premiere of "Rudo y Cursi."

"[I'm] channeling mountain casual. It is actually my first time wearing jeans to work," Wintour said. She wore a leather Michael Kors jacket with a fox collar, an Oscar de la Renta turtleneck, J Brand jeans and Manolo Blahnik boots.

What we wouldn't give to be in the audience at Sundance among the first to see R.J. Cutler's film chronicling the making of the September issue of Vogue magazine. Anna Wintour herself will attend the premiere in a rare show of support for any media exposure of her magazine.

WWD goes so far as to say that the film chronicles the last hurrah of the luxury boom, and hints that footage may include Anna talking about the end of her career.

What else do we want to see?

1. What everyone's wearing, duh.

2. The fashion closet.

Becky Bloomwood, not as fashionable on film?

Once apon a time, we all wanted to go through Rebecca Bloomwood's closet. As long as it didn't explode on us like it did that one time on Suze. But having seen the trailers for the upcoming film, do we still want to steal from Becky's wardrobe?

P.S. Either way, you can steal - or at least buy - from her wardrobe - keep reading.

Catwalk Queen's Kimberley Foster writes...

Ever since Kim Cattrall spilled the news to Mel B on The Paul O'Grady Show earlier this month, we have been keeping our ears to the ground for any updates on the rumoured film sequel to Sex and the City. At first, Sarah Jessica Parker was hesitant to confirm reports, responding with: "I'm thrilled to know Kim is excited but all the deals are not yet done." Well now it seems as though the project has been given the green light, with SJP telling Access Hollywood that filming will begin next summer.

"I think shooting next summer is a realistic timetable. That's when we'd start shooting to be out in 2010. But that means we need to figure this out in the next couple of months," she said. As for those potential story rumours that Carrie could become a mum in the follow-up film, SJP also reveals the answer to that. Click on to hear what she said...

Usually Louis Vuitton has luxe luggage product placement down - especially in period movies.

But it looks like Prada won this round with a fab set of custom-made luggage for Nicole Kidman's character Sarah in Australia.

The set includes trunks, suitcases, hat boxes and a picnic set crafted of the brand's signature pergamena leather.

Sex and the City movie sequel confirmed!

cattrallharrods.jpgFor all of us wondering if we will see any more of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte - it is good news people.

Kim Cattrall has spilled that there will indeed be a sequel to Sex And The City: The Movie. The news was let slip to Spice Girl Mel B, who was guest hosting The Paul O'Grady Show.

When Mel B asked: "Now will there be a sequel?"

Kim replied with a nod: "Yes, there will."

This is the first definite confirmation that a follow-up movie is in the works, but few other details are known. I wonder what Sarah Jessica Parker is thinking right now.

The highly anticipated Keira Knightley film "The Duchess" may not hit theaters in the US until September 19 but it opened in the UK this week and Gemma was lucky enough to attend an early screening. If you love lavish sets, beautiful scenery and absolutely amazing costumes, you're in for a treat. At the press conference afterwards Gemma learned a little bit more than she wanted to about Dominic Cooper's flesh-coloured nappy, and discovered it took hours to sew Keira and Hayley Atwell into their Regency gowns.

Bride Wars Kate Hudson Anne Hathaway copy.jpg

A film tax credit has lured film projects and shoppers alike to Boston, it seems.

Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway, seen left, have been photographed all over the city filming their upcoming "Bride Wars" and actress Jayma Mays has hit town for "Paul Blart: Mall Cop."

Mays and her co-workers have splurged at Marc Jacobs, Envi, Calypso and Gretta Luxe all in Boston, and the movie's costume designer, Ellen Lutter, spent more than $100,000 locally.

Nicole Kidman Vogue cover.jpg

Believe it or not, Nicole Kidman actually shot this Vogue cover and the accompanying shots while pregnant. Besides the baby, her real costar in the photos is Hugh Jackman, her opposite in the much anticipated "Australia" to be released in November.

"Nicole is a thoroughbred," Baz Luhrmann tells Vogue in the story, here. "She is highly strung, highly volatile, highly everything."

Let that include highly photogenic. The very stylized photos from the magazine can be found after the jump.
