The glamorous 1 stars of Sex and the City
Sex and the City was a very popular TV show that ran from 1999 to 2004. It was a romantic comedy drama based on the semi-autobiographical New York newspaper columns 2 written by Candace Bushnell.
The show followed the lives of four professional, independent and very stylish 3 women in New York. Audiences loved the show and many people were very sad when it came to an end.
Ever since the TV show came off the air, there has been speculation 4 of a movie being made of the show. Finally in autumn 2007, news broke that filming had started.
Newspapers and magazines were full of pictures and spoilers of what might happen in the film. It was reported different endings were shot to keep the storyline secret.
This week saw the world premiere of the film come to London. All four original cast members from the show are also starring in the movie. They all got a rapturous reception as they arrived on the red carpet.
The stars didn't disappoint the crowds with their fetching designer dresses, living up to the very stylish reputation that their characters and the show have.
Some fans arrived early in the morning to bag a place where they could see their favourite actresses. Many of them got to meet and speak to the stars.
A lot of people wondered why a movie set in New York had its premiere in London. The actresses said they were thrilled to showcase the film first in the UK and later bring it home to its birthplace in the States.
If you want to find out what happens though, you may just have to try and see the film yourself. Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays Carrie in the film, said she hopes there would be a sequel.
So if you're a really big fan, this might not be last you see of the glamorous TV show.
