Well, it appears Michael Patrick King's really run with this 80s flashback thing. 'Cause, you know, visual gimmicks come in handy when plot and narrative are being particularly evasive. At least Sarah Jessica Parker looks marginally better - just like she's heading off to a fancy dress as Madonna, circa 1984, rather than aforementioned trailer park.
Meanwhile, Kristen Davis looks exactly the same (if slightly more manic at times). Only the fabrics seem more prone to creasing and she's openly skipping down the street, quite seriously brushing her hair (in a slight aside; SJP - PUT. YOUR TONGUE. AWAY) as opposed to undertaking such grooming while clicking around her massive apartment.
WENN are claiming Kim Cattrall is "rocking out by dressing like a punk rocker on the set of Sex and the City 2." She looks like she'd up for rocking something hard, and it wouldn't be punk. In saying that, she wears it well, even the fishnet cutaway trousers which are currently making my eyes sting. Other than that, she's looking fairly acceptable given she's been made up to look part poodle/part trollop.
Finally, there's Cynthia Nixon. Who, in short, looks like slimmed down Magda Szubanski in a fawn catastrophe of a suit (you might know her as Sharon from the Australian version of Kath and Kim). Why did they have to do this to Miranda? WHY?!? (actually, maybe it's not that bad. It's just roused some distant, dark memories for me... For I had that very haircut when I was 12 *curls foetal* Bad, bad times *retreats under desk*).
Ah, how stupid of me; Kirsten Davis is the only one of the ladies not to have had a (rumoured) falling out with Sarah Jessica Parker. Makes total sense now.
