Sarah Jessica Parker and her crazy arms are still in Moscow, promoting I Don’t Know How She Does It. I just saw a new commercial for the film which I found very interesting. In previous trailers and commercials for it, SJP was featured heavily, to ensure that viewers knew that SJP had a starring role and that the film was probably just like Sex and the City. I guess some marketing genius finally figured out that the SJP-centric plan was probably doing more harm than good, and new commercials make the film seem ensemble-heavy, with more air time for Christina Hendricks, Seth Meyers, Pierce Brosnan and Greg Kinnear.
Anyway, SJP did the Moscow photo call for the film in this totally odd Prabal Gurung lace print dress from the Fall 2011 collection. I really, really dislike the fabric and the pattern, but I’ll give SJP credit for a few things – the dress is cut beautifully, it looks good on her figure, and her hair looks pretty good. Yesterday, SJP wore that weird, caped, orange-red gown that I was also pretty meh on.
Any thoughts as to why IDKHSDI’s promotion has begun in Moscow of all places? There hasn’t been an American premiere or a European premiere. I wonder what’s up with that? The film doesn’t look very good (to me), but I suspect it will have a decent box office. Here’s the trailer and the poster for the film again:

I think the fit is whack. She looks preggers!
I think the trailer looks OK. I’m sure I’ll rent the DVD (good scenery and nice suits). But SJP is like Jennifer Aniston – she plays the same person in every movie.
She’s just Carrie Bradshaw in different situations. That’s not such a bad thing I guess….
I like the dress, it’s her face that is scary these days.
Is it just me, or are her arms really long and hands scary big?
I’ll see this movie just for my beloved Pierce.
‘Meh’ on the dress but the shoes are FAB!
That dress is hideous
She needs a decent haircut and styling – her long long long long face needs shorter hair to distract from her long long long face
The movie looks ATROCIOUS. It always amazes me how HW churns out the same Crap over and over. God-awful f*cking garbage that is an embarrassment with the same tired scenarios and ‘jokes’.
SJP needs to stop lining the inside of her lower lids it makes her eyes look even smaller and closer together.
I LOVE the dress. It’s just not her dress. It would look so much better on someone else, like both Emmas or Carey Mulligan. The hair should be out of the face, because the dress is busy enough as it is.
I was meh on the trailer until I saw the head lice part! Now I will see this movie if only for the fact they included this.
I am still traumatized by two different bouts of head lice in my kids/home over the years. Head lice are such a pain in the ass. No one likes to talk about it, like it’s the plague or something… so if this movie makes light/showing the stress of that situation I’ll watch!
(Looks like SJP nose was photoshopped on that poster.)
I like the dress. Not a bad choice.
She is positively tiny. So I do not understand the need to starve herself down to gristle.
I can’t image how she or Madonna have chosen their ass over their face in their old age. Neither were great beauties. Yet they both look a decade older than what they are. In their quest to be the tiniest female in NYC.
I will watch it!
SJP crosses the finish line 20 lengths off the pace in that dress. Bad horsey! No carrots for you!
You know, I just realized that SJP was an accomplished gymnast as well as ballet dancer. If anyone has seen a female gymnast’s hands, they are tough and muscular, just like hers.
I love this dress! And it’s a great look for her. I know her “thing” is to be kind of Carrie Bradshaw with fashion–bold, outrageous, over the top, on the vanguard, whatever. But I feel like, as she gets a bit older and is a mom of three, she does better when she dials it down. So, no to the orange cape dress. But this–it’s classic and elegant but with details and textures that keep it from looking like something in a Talbot’s catalogue.
And the softer hair is much better. But could someone please tell all the Hollywood hair stylists that we are all sick to death of the middle part + stringy long extensions + frosty looking dye jobs? It looks bad on pretty much everyone.
The trailer looks meh.
Kaiser there’s a London premiere on September 12 and probably a US premiere the week before that.
Looks OK but nothing I’d go to the theater to see.
I kind of like the dress.
i like this dress and the shoes are making me drool. she looks TEN TIMES better with loose flowy hair. i think she’s just a really tiny person in general, but lately she appears to be wasting away. her hands always looked freaky in SATC too.
I don’t hate the dress, it’s just not right for her. It makes her look really pear-shaped. Thank goodness she covered her gristly arms, tho.
Is SJP huge in Moscow? maybe that’s why they’re doing the big promo stuff there? Maybe she’s to Moscow what Hasselhoff was to Germany…
“I am still traumatized by two different bouts of head lice in my kids/home over the years. Head lice are such a pain in the ass. No one likes to talk about it, like it’s the plague or something.”
@Miagirl: I feel ya girl! I remember in 6th grade my best friend got lice, and it was like she had leprosy or something–noone wanted to be friends with her anymore. I actually got it from my niece a few years ago and that’s all I could think about–I went CRAZY cleaning the hell out of my house!
Dress? Good. Hair? So ten years ago.
I like it. She looked great at the premiere in Giambatista Valli.
Here’s a marketing suggestion: at the premiere, hand out bingo cards with SJP’s annoying/lazy acting tics:
– talking in a girly breathy voice, as though she was 15, not 40+
– squeal/scream
– run in heels
– talk looking up at a man with your hands gesticulating under your chin
– flip your hair while settling into your heels
– react to something with silent, prolonged open-mouthed amazement
Please feel free to add your own submissions.
Nice dress, though, Prabal.
Horseface is hideous, as always.
It has always amazed me that she’s made such a big deal out of demanding a “no nudity” clause in all of her acting contracts. Why even bother? If I had to pick one single woman on this entire planet who I do NOT want to see without her clothes on, Horseface is it. Hands down.
God how I feel for poor Matthew Broderick. Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
SJP has earnt herself a spot on the “Things Bogans Like” list:
