“I am so thrilled to be here in London,” gushed Sarah Jessica Parker at the “Sex and the City” premiere in London’s Leicester Square last night. Judging by the near delirious reaction from the hundreds of frenzied fans lining the red carpet, the feeling was mutual. The evening turned into a celebration of all things British as SJP did an impersonation of an English garden in a leaf green, horticulturally themed Philip Treacy hat and a crinolined Alexander McQueen dress, while Kim Cattrall tipped her cap to Vivienne Westwood in one of her cherry red numbers. At the after-party at Soho’s Green Carnation, the star of the show was Patricia Field, who was mobbed by press as she made a late entrance. None of the guests, including Jo and Leah Wood, Lily Cole, Henry Holland, and Daisy de Villeneuve, seemed bothered by the tardiness as they sipped Champagne cocktails served by bare-chested men in sparkly gold masks. Holland, for one, was in raptures about the film: “It was really good, better than I thought it would be,” he said. As for hosting the party at the Green Carnation, a relatively unknown and decidedly camp venue, rather than, say, Bungalow 8, the designer approved. “It’s quirky, kooky, and ‘Sex and the City’ is too—which is perfect for London. We like being a bit rough around the edges.”
