Finally! The cast of Sex and the City: The Movie unveiled their celluloid baby to a New York City audience at Radio City Music Hall last night. The much-ballyhooed movie premiere brought out writers (Candace Bushnell, Michael Patrick King), rappers (Lil’ Kim), and even real-life Vogue editrix Anna Wintour.
But of course, post-premiere and party, there was only question on everyone’s mind: So what were they wearing?
The girls gave the already star-studded night some sparkle in a series of metallic gowns.
Sarah Jessica Parker was stunning in a strapless, silver Nina Ricci gown from the spring runway. Kristen Davis — very Charlotte-esque with a demure neckline and below the knee hemline in a glittering, gold DKNY cocktail dress. Kim Cattrall chose silver Vivienne Westwood embellished down the bodice with lace and beading.
Even castmate Jennifer Hudson got in on the glitz gravy train with a gold Peter Soronen frock that did nothing to minimize her ‘Sex’-worthy curves.
While the rest of the girls went for glitzy metallics, Cynthia Nixon stood out form the crowd in an understated white Narciso Rodriguez gown topped off with enough Fred Leighton jewels to finance a small country.

Proenza Schouler plus Giuseppe Zanotti? Try saying that five times fast.
You don’t have to know how to say it, but come spring 2009, you will be wearing them. WWD reports that Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler just inked a licensing deal with Giuseppe Zanotti to produce women’s shoes.
I love a good fashion mash-up, but I’m kind of scratching my head on how Proenza’s chunky heeled aesthetic will blend with Zanotti’s bling. It could be fashion heaven or a hot tranny mess.

Behati Prinsloo might not be the first face you think of when you hear the words “Namibian supermodel”, but that’s about to change now that the nineteen-year-old has been chosen as the new face of Victoria’s Secret PINK line.
Behati was discovered while on vacation in South Africa at the age of sixteen and plucked form her home country of Namibia to walk in shows from Zac Posen to Lacoste. She’s repped by Storm Models and has already done campaigns for H&M and Max Studio.
As supermodels go, Behati has quite a commercial look and doesn’t have as much fierce runway personality as a Coco Rochas or a Freja. But I’m loving that we’re going to see her amazing, wide grin all over the Victoria’s Secret runway and now all over the PINK campaigns.

Back fat is the new VPL, girls! But at least one curvaceous celeb is doing her part to banish the bra spillage. R&B singer Jill Scott continues to represent positive body image for plus-size girls with the launch of The Butterfly Collection for Ashley Stewart.
Jill Scott and Ashley Stewart have developed a line of intimate apparel specifically for chicks with curves. The Butterfly Collection launched with the premiere of The Butterfly Bra — a bra designed for larger cup sizes. The bra has double back wrap panels that give more support for your back, bust, and shoulders and eliminates back fat and bulges. The collection also includes a Butterfly brief and boyshort.
Get more information on The Butterfly Collection and watch Jill Scott speak about the new intimate apparel line in this video at JillScott.com.
You can shop the entire collection at Ashley Stewart stores or at AshleyStewart.com.
