Why do the ‘Sex & the City’ ladies look so forced, so off their game?

ShoWest 2010 Awards Ceremony - Arrivals

This is barely a story, but I was just enjoying the hell out of the photos. The Sex and the City girls, minus Kim Cattrall, all went to Las Vegas for the Showest Convention, and the photos are priceless. I mean, sure, these are beautiful women. Sort of. I love both Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, and I think they both look great. Sarah Jessica Parker on the other hand… well, the black Marchesa dress is pretty enough, but check out how SJP really feels about these bitches:

Kim wasn’t at the event because she’s doing the play Private Lives in London. And she probably hates these bitches too. No, I jest! They love each other, right? By the way, they’re standing around with an award because they actually won one. SJP, Nixon and Davis picked up the “Best Ensemble” award for this Sex and the City sequel that’s coming out months from now.

Would you like to see what these ladies wore to the earlier Showest event? It might blind you, this bad fashion:

Why would they all choose to wear such ugly prints? Did they talk about it beforehand? What does SJP really think about these prints?

Yeah, I thought so. Can I just say this – I think the promotion of this film is going to be epic. And hilarious, if these photos are any indication. It just feels so forced, like everyone is off their game, big time.

And finally, a little shoe-porn to take us out:

    my little pony is not ageing well

  2. Rianna says:

    Yes thats true but bite me, at least she is ageing. Unlike some others who look like they have been cast as the statue of David in some indie film…

  3. Melanie says:

    Love the black, hate the yellow. It just makes her look horrible.

  4. Zelda says:

    SJP’s Black dress and gold shoes are fantastic.
    Admit—the plot will suck and it will be an hour too long….but the clothes porn….oh the clothes porn..

  5. Roma says:

    I’ll be in defense of SJP; she was in Toronto on Tuesday night launching her clothing line with HBC and it was a pretty big event that went pretty late. And she looked amazing, if not tired.

    I’m always impressed by how well celebs look after traveling, but in these pics she just looks exhausted.

    Or, she just looks like she wants to shank the hoes.

  6. Anna says:

    Because it is and because they are. I’m tired of this, I wish they would just give it a rest. The films are ruining what the series built.

  7. annaloo says:

    IMHO, It’s Sarah…. ack, it’s Sarah!

    Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon actually look fine, but SJP between them… yipes…something about her brings the whole trio down. She looks very tired, very haggard…poor thing needs a divorce, a 3 month stay in a Mediterranean mansion and a hot young piece named Alfredo sharing it with her

  8. Jackson says:

    Aren’t they tired of being the ‘Sex & the City’ ladies? It’s beyond time to move on. They look tired and played out…because they are, as is the franchise.

  9. Tess says:

    SJP wants no confusion about who’s the star.

    Wonder if Kim chuckles or just grits her teeth when she sees SJP wearing that star adorned dress.

  10. Macheath says:

    She always looks like the devil to me; her eyes are a really light colour and she always wears prominent eyeliner so from far away it looks like she has no pupils. The second to last picture looks like she’s putting a hex on someone.

  11. Ana says:

    I think the black dress looks like an expensive Halloween costume. (A witch)

    I love everything else.

  12. canadianchick says:

    I like Cynthia’s print. SJP looks tired and with 3 kids and a lame husband I’d be tired and want to shank someone too. Kristen is sweet as usual. Kim C at the “theatah” would ruin the photos with her wrinkly deathstare so it’s good she wasn’t in these shots.

  13. mamalama says:

    I live in MN, and the Mall of America here has the same giant star with shooting supports that SJP’s dress does there across her collarbone. I can’t get past “We’re at the mall!” to even look at the rest of the dress.

  14. EMV says:

    they are getting too old.

  15. EMV says:

    maybe looking too old is the better response

  16. Tia C says:

    Because the whole thing jumped the shark a long time ago. They should have left well enough alone after the first (horrible) film.

    Their feet all look SOOO uncomfortable in those shoes.

  17. Fiona says:

    “My little pony” – LMFAO!

  18. meme says:

    my little pony needs to stay at home and take care of those twins she wanted so damn bad. they’re all too old to be playing these women anymore. doesn’t anyone know how at mature gracefully anymore?

  19. GatsbyGal says:

    Ugly, UGLY feet in equally ugly shoes.

  20. Jules says:

    SJP just looks old and haggard.

  21. Ron says:

    Boy it sucks to be a woman. If you start to age you are “too old” if you have surgery you should” age gracefully” and not do it. You bitches can’t win. And the funny thing is, is it is usually women saying these things to each other.

    I think all of them look fine. When they are in the films the are dressed to “work” together on screen. When they are in their personal life they can choose whatever they want without phoning each other up. But I do think that SJP’s black dress is tortured and overdesigned. It looks like something I can pick up in the garment district for 40.00. Marchesa is Harvery Weinstien’s wife’s line and I think stars that have dealings with him feel like they “must” wear it from time to time to stay in his good graces.

  22. itscometothis says:

    Ron, you spoke a Bible there. Preach it. Women are too critical of each other by far!

  23. JoGirl says:

    I feel like the problem with SJP is that she’s used too much botox, so when she smiles her eyes don’t move appropriately and it all looks forced.

  24. Kat says:

    Why couldn’t SJP have worn the black Marchesa dress to the Oscars instead of that (and I cry a little to say this) hideous Chanel?

    I hope this is the last movie. After 12 years, you’d be done, too.

  25. TxGal says:

    The series ended and that’s where it should have stayed. SJP is too old.

  26. Mouse says:

    Wow. I’m looking forward to the next movie, but still….not a one of them can pass as being in her late 30’s anymore!! They all look tired in these pics. (SJP, you’d look younger w/out all the dark liner and tanning.)

  27. Kim says:

    They look great. I LOVE both of SJP dresses.

  28. mspuddin says:

    Besides all the Kim C drama, why wouldn’t they get along? There are plenty of other casts who have spent more time together than the SATC cast who still get along…I’m just curious. Did I miss something?

    I don’t know why SJP still does this “hollywood” lifestyle after she’s said in interviews how she just wants to be w and raise her family. I would think she would just want disappear and live her life.

  29. ThunderC*nt says:

    SJP is wonderful in that “Who Do You Think You Are Show?”. You’re really riding the rail with her. NBC.com and Hulu have the full episodes. Tonight is their 3rd installment at 8 p.m. That Emmitt Smith guy comes off as kinda racist but it’s so great when he gets his DNA test back and learns he is just 81% African. You see his attitude shift. Another good episode taking the journey with him, none the less. He goes full throttle, jumping continents.

    But alas, he’s probably not a Brangeloonie who just loves the Brange for the sole reason that they adopted a child from Africa, like our own resident Brangeloonie on here. It explains it all people. Better luck next time?

  30. karen says:

    I’m still a fan. I think the series and the movies have dealt with their aging and other issues rather maturely. It’s certainly BETTER than those stupid rom-coms other pea-brain actresses are churning out (The Bounty Hunter, for one). You couldn’t pay me to watch most of the rom-coms out there.

  31. jover says:

    THe photos of the SATC girls show why wearing hosiery needs to come back in fashion. Nothing like good quality hose to dress up knobby, unattractive, knarly aging legs. And yes, this series needs to be retired, but as others have posted, Hollywood is going belly up creatively so lets do remakes and more remakes

  32. coucou says:

    I love that black star dress, oh man is that hot, i want it, and i think her legs look good.

    SJP’s not horrendous or anything, but she’s never been a classic beauty, so give her a break. She’s got pin-hole eyes and a long face. But she works it and has dated some of the world’s hottest men, like Robert Downey Jr and JFK Jr. She must have something going for her. Matthew B is not, however, one of the things going for her. Talking about aging twerp.

    When i see these shots, i feel like i’m attending a wake. We all know that this is definitely the end, and i bet they are just as relieved as we are.

    But hot damn! That black dress!

  33. CeeCee12 says:

    I used to love SATC but like so much else it is being beaten to death then resurrected only to beat it to death again.

  34. ViktoryGin says:

    Damn @ bite me. lol.

  35. Kelly says:

    I think they look forced and off their game because they’re flogging a forced and off it’s game dead horse. Jeeze, how long ago was the series? Did you bother paying to see the movie? Do you remember the characters’ names? I sort of dont. And I scratch my head as to the appeal of the whole concept, which I liked well enough at the time. Just not any more. Because it was amusing fluff and its now being sold as some sort of sacred institution, which is a bit weird.
    SJP has always looked far too much like she was holding a pencil between her arsecheeks and that phenomenon has only become more pronounced with time. So much vanity and self consciousness. Meh.

  36. She is maturing extremely well. She perhaps stands out due to the orange fake tan, and in last pic wearing yellow dress, it is quite obvious due to her wrinkle free top lip she has indulged in some botox and facial fillers this could have perhaps altered her look slightly, but geez take a good look at her, she is SUPA FIT for a hard working middle aged mum! Everybody gets older, she is looking after herself fabulously, better this than go under the knife like madonna!, really!

  37. ThunderC*nt says:

    Nah. Kim C is older than them all and managed to pull it off. Big, long horsey faces never age well.

  38. Persistent Cat says:

    Jesus Christ, you women are tough. They look forced? Really? From that one picture, you can tell. What about the 8 million other photos that were taken? How were they?

    But I guess you guys are right. These women are past 30, they should be shipped off the pasture because my God they’re old.
