The Times says SATC is not a stylish movie

Now I'm not going to hate on Sex and the City, or the fantastic Patricia Field, you know I am a massive fan of both. But I wasn't that into the fashion in the first SATC movie. Maybe it was because every outfit had been photographed to death before the film even came out, or maybe it was just too 'trendy'. Either way Carrie's wardrobe lacked the unpredictable magic that it had on TV.
Today in The Times Lisa Armstrong and the rest of the fashion team compiled their list of the 25 most stylish films of all time, and, shock horror, SATC isn't included.


On the SATC movie they write: "With the exception of the inimitably chic Parker, who could — and has — made boob tubes look glamorous, the other three co-stars appear like a bunch of drag queens on a day trip to Bluewater."

They also comment on the "Hollywood hype machine that insists on behaving as if every member of the female gender is now in the grip of a frenzy of anticipation at the prospect of watching SJP & Co gyrate across the screen in their designer outfits."

I'm a hardcore SATC fan, but even I can't shake up any enthusiasm for the above outfits from the upcoming sequel. If they end up in the movie I may actually cry.

And, out of interest, what do you think is the most stylish movie of all time?
