Samantha Jones stans, get excited.
While both Kim Cattrall and legendary “Sex and the City” costume designer Patricia Field may have opted out of HBO Max’s reboot, “And Just Like That,” the pair recently reunited to collaborate on another small-screen project.
Cattrall is set to star in Netflix’s upcoming series “Glamorous” as a famous model-turned-makeup mogul, and brought in Field to help with the show’s wardrobe, Pvnew Style can /confirm/i.
“I worked with a designer [Nancy Gould], because these days, I prefer to consult,” Field, 82, told us at Monday’s Fashion Group International (FGI) Rising Star Awards, where she delivered the keynote speech.
Field has said that while dressing Cattrall, 66, as confident and highly sexual PR exec Samantha on “SATC,” she butted heads with the series’ male producers, who envisioned the character wearing skin-baring miniskirts, plunging necklines and other stereotypically “sexy” looks at all times.
Instead, the costume whiz dressed Cattrall in bold-shouldered blazers, bright colors and look-at-me metallics to telegraph her power without baring it all.
And Field told us we’ll see similar looks on the actress’ “Glamorous” character, Madolyn Addison.
“It’s another character,” she said. “[But] the color is very important, and the sexy silhouette is part of it, definitely. It’s something we established on ‘Sex and the City’ and it’s very signature [Cattrall]. It comes naturally for her; she looks great that way.”
While she and Cattrall have remained good friends since their “SATC” days and Field described her time working on “Glamorous” as “wonderful,” she admits she didn’t always have the easiest time dressing John Corbett’s Aidan, who will return for Season 2 of “And Just Like That.”
In her 2023 memoir, “Pat in the City,” Field wrote that Corbett came to set for the first time “loaded down with heavy pieces of turquoise jewelry as if he’d been on a shopping spree at a Navajo Nation gift shop.”
The style guru told us, “He had just finished some TV series that was cowboy-esque … and I guess he was comfortable in his role, and kind of brought it with him.”
While Field was able to persuade Corbett to ditch a few of his precious pieces, she added, “It’s not my job to be a dictator. I always respect people in front of the camera. And what’s really important is that they feel good in front of that camera, because they’re portraying a character. I really feel that’s one of my responsibilities.”
