New Sex & The City Promo Shoot!

But with the help of computer technology the four actresses have rolled back the years for photographs promoting a film version of their television show.

With Sarah Jessica Parker, 43, back at the helm of her all girl pack, the stars posed for the promotional shoot ahead of the release of their big screen debut in May.

In flirty red confections - and with the help of just a touch of airbrushing - Sarah and her co-stars Kim Cattrall, 51, Cynthia Nixon, who turns 42 this month, and Kristin Davis, 43, appear almost as youthful as their black-clad 1998 promotional campaign.

Chris Bickmore, an airbrush artist, said the faces had all been retouched. “None of them have any eye bags or crow’s feet around their eyes in this PR shot,” he added. “Their faces are all now really perfect when women of their ages would have some wrinkles and facial detail.

“Kim Cattrall in the latest shot has also had the mole below her lip completely removed. I’d also say they’ve had their teeth made a brighter white too.”

Sarah Jessica Parker recently said she couldn’t be more happy about the upcoming film, saying: “I’m very excited. We’ve still got a lot of work to do, and very little time to do it but I’m hoping that it’s worth the wait.”

Several endings have been shot in a bid to keep fans guessing whether perennial singleton Carrie Bradshaw will finally tie the knot with Mr Big.

The film, which picks up from the series four years on, was delayed for some time amid reports of rows between Sarah and Kim, who plays man eater Samantha Jones.

Cattrall famously negotiated hard over payment for the film, and reportedly had a bust up over Sarah’s $US3 million salary - twice that of her co-stars.

Meanwhile, Sarah has talked down rumours that there is another Sex and the City television series in the works.

She said: “As a mother I just can’t be away from my son that kind of time.”
