One thing is certain after the extravaganza premiere of Sex & the City: The Movie: Carrie should have had her wedding to Mr. Big, now revealed as John James Prescott, at MoMA. Last night, on two floors, the museum was lit in pink with plush pillow seating and silver settees, and food themed for the fabulous four's onscreen retreat to Mexico with empanatas, ceviches and salsas washed down with fruity cosmos and champagne. True to their characters, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, and Kim Cattrall were decked to the nines, with the crowd buzzing about accessorized for the occasion. Of course the men were there: Jason Lewis, Mario Cantone, Chris Noth, director/writer/producer Michael Patrick King. Creator Candace Bushnell told me she is working on another book and flame-haired signature S&C designer Patricia Field continues to wow the downtown crowd with '70's inspired platforms. Also on hand: Matthew Broderick, Jerry Seinfeld, Jay McInerny, Katie Couric, and Project Runway winner Christian Siriano, looking very smart, worked the room with a model wearing one of his creations.
Another certainty: S&C is going to be a huge hit. Having had premieres in London and Berlin, S&C's New York event brought the world of Manolos and other luxury goods back home to New York real estate, and without spoiling the movie's ending, to grounded values in love and family. That may sound cheesy, but trust me, it isn't. I laughed. I cried. Balancing the girls last night-now famous worldwide-- was another fabulous four in the room: Jason, Daniel, Travis, and Brandon, marines in uniform. In town for Fleet Week, this group was nabbed off the street by the party's security to join in the festivities. And a good time was had by all.
