Pat Field

Over the past year, there have been several reports, many of them conflicting, that a Sex and the City prequel film may be in the works. The most fun guessing game has of course been the cast. Earlier this year, Blake Lively was rumored to be playing Carrie, but subsequently denied those rumors. That may be because she's actually playing Samantha alongside a slightly younger cast, reports the Daily Mail. According to the British tab, the rumored cast is:

After the complete and utter (not to mention offensive) disaster that was Sex and the City 2, can the girls really be up for making a third? Apparently so. "I would love to do a third film," Kristin Davis told the UK's Metro. "We all want to do it, I guess it’s just figuring out whether we can move the characters forward any more." It's a good point. What would a third look like? Sex and the City 3: Hot Hot Flashes? Sigh. Even though no plans have been revealed to make SATC a trilogy, it could happen. The empire is a massive money maker and folks who have been fans since Sex and the City was an awesome show on HBO have an attachment to Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. If one good thing could come of a Sex and the City trilogy it would be watching the genius that is Pat Field take it on. Her costumes for the series and movies are always dazzling and influential. Love them or hate them, Field put harem pants on the map that summer. What will she have women wearing next?

ISTANBUL--Istanbul Fashion Week may be new, but it's not lacking for bold faced names in the front row. Pat Field is a fixture, which makes sense, since Istanbul Fashion Week's press kit says she "aims to introduce the Turkish brands and designers to the world and to turn Istanbul into an effective fashion center." It's a tall order, but if anyone can make Istanbul happen, it's Pat Field. The vibrant colors and energy of Istanbul are right up her alley. In addition to Field, fashion stars abound. Anna Piaggi is here, and she gets a deserved applause when she enters the venue. So is ELLE's Kate Lanphear, Lynn Yaeger, Alexandra Richards and Olivier Zahm (with daughter in tow). Alek Wek has also been spotted. And according to twitter, LOVE covergirl Alessandra Ambrosio just touched down at Ataturk Airport hours ago, where she was surprised to find paps waiting for her at immigration. We're looking forward to seeing her walk tomorrow.
