Sarah Jessica Parker Talks Carrie's 'Sex And The City 2' Evolution In Glamour: Cover Story

By Holly Lunn

The one and only fashionista is back at it again. With her new movie "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" and highly anticipated "Sex and the City: The Movie 2" coming soon, Sarah Jessica Parker has a lot on her mind, including her new twin girls. But she still is finding the time to talk about her role as Carrie and give tips on fashion and relationships in Glamour’s January 2010 issue.

Since "Sex and the City" started in 1998, it has been giving us ladies tips on how to live the fabulous single life in the big city, how to decode men's brains and how to deal with major heartbreak. Last year's movie continued that tradition, but SJP said the sequel won't be nearly as serious. "The first movie had a lot of sadness in it, and it was very brave about breaking the rules of romantic comedy," she told the mag. "This one is very much the antidote for that: It’s a romp. It’s about the idea of women’s and men’s roles in marriage, and old traditions versus new ones. The story is really fun, but it’s also about something."

But Glamour talked to the actress about how movies ofen romanticize love and life — making it hard to understand what happens after the movie ends ... after you find love. She responded by saying how easily we all are satisfied with “grand gestures” when you are young, but “when you have children and years invested, it’s much more complicated.” I can see where it could get complicated with Carrie being married to Mr. Big. "You are not meant to know that when you are younger," she said of the reality of love and marriage. "So I don’t think anybody should regret the choices made in their twenties.” I guess all the mistakes I’ve been making in my twenties don’t really mean much in the long run, thank heaven.

Along with her romantic ideals, Carrie’s eye for style has also developed and changed as she got older, and so has SJP’s. She's decided to take a simpler approach to style: “I don’t buy anything trendy.” She still has her own idea of fashion though, knowing “what looks good on me and what doesn’t," which means she vows never to wear a turtleneck.
