They're back, but barely recognisable: Sex And The City girls transformed by the airbrush on film sequel's poster

Airbrushed beyond recognition: The stars of Sex And The City (from left to right) Kristin Davis, Sarah Jesica Parker, Kim Cattrall and Cynthia Nixon

Improvement? Pictured from a scene during the sitcom's second film the actresses look better without the airbrushing

Their four faces are globally recognised after years of starring in one of America's most successful sitcoms and its subsequent big-screen adaptation.

But if the official poster for Sex And The City 2 is anything to go by, it seems producers of the soon-to-be-released film are not confident in their stars' natural beauty.Pictured together for the much-anticipated movie's promotional pictures Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall have been airbrushed almost beyong recognition.


.but earlier this week she was pictured looking tired and drawn in New York

Radiant and healthy: At Tribeca Film Festival last night Parker looked her usual super-groomed self...

While Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, who play Charlotte and Miranda, have maintained much of their natural good looks, Parker and Cattrall look like cartoonish versions of themselves.Perhaps those working on the film were worried about Parker following pictures that emerged this week showing the 45-year-old looking tired and drawn.

With her busy schedule of being an actress, designer for heritage label Halston and a mother-of-three it is no surprise she has off days.

However last night, attending a Halston event in New York's Tribeca, the actress was back to her usual self, looking healthy and radiant - not to mention, better than the airbrushed version on the poster for Sex and The City 2.
