Sex and the City:
London Premiere!
Cathi Barbe
Okay, so on anyone else, the outrageous head gear might not work, but on SJP, this Philip Treacy masterpiece looks amazing.
It was definitely a bold move on the part of the actress to show up to the premiere in something so outrageous, but the always-fashionable Miss Parker pulls it off with style.
Why does it work? First of all, she’s got the amazing long locks in messy but intentional curls as a base for the hat. She didn’t try to overdo it with some crazy style, but kept it simple. Hair looks soft and breezy, touchable –low maintenance (even though it’s not!). The make-up is clean and fresh and balances out the overall look. Her oval shaped face allows her to pull off a lot of different looks and styles,
and this one makes the cut too.
Oh Miss Kim Cattrall, what were you thinking?
The idea of her style was to sweep it up and back off her beautiful face, but the effect the style had was to make it look like she has very little hair – an industry no-no.
What went wrong? The style looks flat. And not like it was slicked back for a more Cosmopolitan appearance, but just plain old flat. Very thin wispy bangs in a shade close to that of her skin tone makes the hair look transparentacross her forehead. For someone with such great style, this was probably not the best hair day for her. A little more fullness on top would have corrected at least most of the problem and given her hair more life. Maybe next time! At least her make-up looks perfect.
The prim and perky Kristin Davis – she always looks classically beautiful, and it comes from keeping her locks healthy and simply styled.
That doesn’t mean that a lot of work doesn’t go into making the look complete. Long hair takes a long time to do. But her lush long brown mane is perfect for her personal style and face shape. Having all her hair down and curled loosely makes her look romantic. The hair isn’t covering her face so she doesn’t look like she is hiding behind it, but instead her face is framed by all that fabulous hair. She doesn’t overload her face with make-up and that keeps her looking younger and fresh. Perfect, as always!
And last, Cynthia Nixon. The color of her hair suits her skin tone, and the length shows off her fantastic face.
Her style for the day was simple and understated. The black dress, very little jewelry… It’s all a continuation of her overall style. Love how she kept the make-up simple. Her eyes are clearly defined and the clean look is working for her just like it is for Kristin. Even though there isn’t a lot of volume in the top of her hairstyle, the back is curled loosely and gives it more fullness. It looks soft and feminine – very sweet. A+ for Cynthia! |
