Woah! Kim Cattrall Goes ’80s on the Sex and the City 2 Set!

Bauer-Griffin

First Sarah Jessica Parker and now Kim Cattrall — looks like Sex and the City 2 is definitely having an ’80s moment! Kim Cattrall’s Samantha Jones is known for her sexy style and love of designer handbags (remember the Birkin episode?), but what was Sam like before life as a high fashion-loving publicist? If this look is any indication, Samantha was working a seriously-sexy, hair metal look. We love everything from her studded denim vest, neon leopard body suit, sheer panel leggings, and buckle-up booties — and check out that hair! Who else could carry this off? No wonder Samantha loves shoulder pads and big earrings so much. Tell us: What do you think of Kim Cattrall’s ’80s look?

VIDEO: Go Backstage with Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier

With New York Fashion Week about to begin, who isn’t in the mood for a little peek behind-the-seams? Four of fashion’s most influential designers are bringing their sartorial talents to video with The Day Before, a four-part series on the Sundance Channel from French producer Loic Prigent, which condenses the frantic 36 hours leading up to each designers’ runway show into four one-hour episodes. The series kicks off in Paris with Sonia Rykiel for the design house’s 40th anniversary runway show, before hopping to New York for Proenza Schouler, Milan where Karl Lagerfeld presents his Fendi collection, and ending back in Paris for the Jean Paul Gaultier haute couture show. The series premiered last night in N.Y.C to a star-studded group, including a Proenza Schouler-clad Leighton Meester and Rachel Zoe. Check out our exclusive first look at Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier before the show’s debut tonight, and then go to SundanceChannel.com to see more from the newly relaunched Full Frontal Fashion.

Lindsay Lohan on Being the New Artistic Advisor for Ungaro: “Different Generations Have Different Ideas”

Marion Curtis/Startraks

Not one to be content with her burgeoning leggings and self-tanner businesses — not to mention her acting career — Lindsay Lohan is joining Emanuel Ungaro as “artistic adviser” alongside a new chief designer Estrella Archs, according to Women’s Wear Daily. Lohan tells WWD that her vision is to take Ungaro to a “younger place” with a harder fashion edge. “When I’m involved in a project, I give my all to it,” she tells WWD. “I’ve always played a big part in what I wear, the costumes. Clothing is something that’s so expressive in so many ways…To be in a position where I’m working with a fashion house in Paris sets it apart from every other celebrity brand.” So then, what exactly does “Artistic Advisor” entail? Lohan describes her position to WWD as that she “kind of oversees everything [Archs] does, while working with her. Different generations have different ideas.” But don’t expect Hollywood excess. “Every woman wants to be sexy — without being too much,” she explains. “I want it to be simple and easy. I really think less is more — and you can add on more with accessories.” Mounir Moufarrige, Ungaro’s chief executive officer, is thrilled about the level of publicity that Lindsay can bring to the venerable French design house, which counts stars like Eva Longoria Parker and Rachel McAdams among its current clientele. He tells WWD, “Everything we’re going to get is going to be a plus. I think the noise level around Lindsay will be very, very big.” Rumor has it that Lohan will take her first runway bow alongside Archs at the brand’s October 4 show during Paris Fashion Week. We can’t wait to see the finished product hit the catwalk. See more at WWD.com.
