Sex and The City bids a final farewell

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

The glamour girls of Sex and The City are packing their wardrobes up for the final time.

Carrie and Co will down their last cosmos and put away their high heels for good after the SATC phenomenon has finally been grounded after a series of poor reviews for the SATC 2 movie.

The SATC empire, which has run for the past 12 years and spawned 94 episodes and two blockbuster movies, is set to be consigned to history after recent reports of infighting on set and low box office takings have shelved any plans of continuing one of the most successful franchises in history. This means the uber-glamorous quartet of Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristen Davis are looking at life on the unemployment line – although all are sure to snapped up soon.

In the latest edition of fashion magazine Grazia, a report has revealed how the latest movie’s box office flop has seen plans for a third instalment – widely tipped to complete a STAC trilogy – immediately binned. This allegedly came as something of a shock to the cast who had been anticipating one last hurrah on the big screen

Only months ago, leading lady Sarah Jessica Parker said that she wished for Carrie and her friends to carry on, with the team already in preparation for another movie. However, SJP did acknowledge that there had been some infighting between cast members but nowhere near as catty as paparazzi had made out. Much media speculation has surrounded the strained relationship between Parker and Cattrall, but this was put down by Parker to the usual strains of performing with close friends for so long.

Audrey Hepburn LBD voted best ever outfit

Monday, May 31st, 2010

The iconic little black dress famously worn by Audrey Hepburn has been voted as the greatest ever female on-screen outfit.

The stunning gown, designed by Givenchy, remains one of screen film’s most enduring wardrobe items, with Hepburn wearing it for the opening scenes of the seminal 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. In the film, Hepburn accessorised the strapless dress with long black gloves and a simple string of pearls, proving simplicity is often the key to looking great.

The award was voted in by those polled in a new survey by leading UK DVD rental company magazine Lovefilm, who declared the outfit the most popular dress of all time. According to Lovefilm magazine’s editor Helen Cowley, Hepburn made the little black dress a staple wardrobe item of women across the world, and one which, despite some competition from some seriously stylish women, has stood the test of time.

The Hepburn dress beat out other such notable outfits as the bikini worn by Ursula Andress in the James Bond movie Dr No, which was placed fourth, and contemporary gowns such as the silk wedding dress worn by Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker, which was voted into tenth. The survey coincides with the release of the sequel to the movie.

Hepburn also featured in an additional outfit on the Lovefilm top ten, with the parasol and hat accompanied white dress from her role as Eliza Doolittle from My Fair Lady also winning over fans. Keira Knightley and Marilyn Monroe rounded out the top three with their outfits from Atonement and The Seven Year Itch respectively.
