'Sex and the City' star Sarah Jessica Parker gets tongue-tied in awkward response to Lauren Sánchez Vogue cover question

Sky News AU6 days ago
Actress Sarah Jessica Parker tripped over her words while trying to avoid answering a question about Lauren Sánchez gracing the cover of Vogue in tandem with her highly publicized wedding to Jeff Bezos.
During a game titled 'Hello, Lover, or Leave It?' on Sunday's episode of 'Watch What Happens Live,' host Andy Cohen asked his guest — and longtime pal — how she felt about Sánchez's cover story with the prestigious fashion magazine.
Parker, 60, raised her eyebrows and let out a high-pitched 'um' before shrugging her shoulders and lifting her hands up in the air.
'I … I … I … I mean …' the 'Sex and the City' star stuttered with an uncomfortable grin on her face.
Eventually, Parker — who has been on the cover of Vogue multiple times over the years, most recently in 2021 — said, 'Why shouldn't she? I was fortunate enough. Why shouldn't she as well have that opportunity?'
As for Sánchez, she got her time to shine last month.
Mere moments after the former news anchor, 55, said 'I do' to the billionaire Amazon founder in Venice, Italy, in front of a gaggle of famous faces, Vogue.com published an article titled, 'Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos Are Married! See Inside Her Final Wedding Dress Fitting.'
For both her cover shoot and the star-studded nuptials, which cost around $50 million, Sánchez wore a lace long-sleeved Dolce & Gabbana gown.
The dress featured a corseted waist, turtleneck and buttons from the neck to the floor, culminating in a mermaid-style skirt.
The mother of three wore her dark brown hair pulled back into a loose bun, leaving some pieces out in front underneath her lace-trimmed veil.
She accessorized with Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria Miracolo earrings featuring four diamonds cut from a single stone and inlaid in white gold as her 'something borrowed.'
Sánchez — known for showing off her fit physique in revealing outfits — drew her inspiration from the high-necked lace wedding dress Sophia Loren's character wore to marry Cary Grant's character in the 1958 rom-com 'Houseboat.'
'It went from 'I want a simple, sexy modern dress' to 'I want something that evokes a moment and where I am right now,'' she told Vogue, acknowledging that the look is 'a departure from what people expect.'
But according to Sánchez, she is 'a different person than [she] was five years ago.'
As Page Six previously reported, Anna Wintour — who recently stepped down as Vogue's editor-in-chief — helped Sánchez come to a final decision on her gown.

The Smurfs star Rihanna identifies with Smurfette 'a lot'

Rihanna feels she identifies with Smurfette "a lot". The 37-year-old singer voiced the blonde-haired blue cartoon character in the 2025 musical-fantasy-comedy film Smurfs, and Rihanna admits she shares her alter-ego's tough, fearless and determined character traits. She told the new issue of Britain's HELLO! magazine: "She's still a girl's girl but she is also tough, which I love. "She's not afraid of anything, or anyone. She's a leader, determined, and she never gives up. I really feel like I identify with her a lot." Rihanna - who owns the cosmetics Fenty Beauty brand, and the Savage X Fenty lingerie label - added: "She's a beautician and an aesthetician too, so it felt like we have a lot in common. "I've always identified with Smurfette, right back to when I was four or five years old, so when this opportunity came up, I just couldn't believe it. "It's a dream come true." The performer thinks little girls will want to aspire to be like Smurfette after they have seen the movie. She added: "She's real and accessible, and you're charmed by her. "Little girls are going to believe they can be her or be friends with her." Despite having had previous movie roles, including DreamWorks' Home as the voice of Gratuity 'Tip' Tucci, Rihanna feels "much more confident" as a musician than an actor. She explained: "I feel much more confident as a musician than I do with acting. "I have so much respect for actors, and it's definitely very intimidating to be amongst them. It's scary. "But I think as long as I work at it, I don't see why I wouldn't do film. I've had fun experiences so far." Rihanna says her sons, RZA, three, and Riot, 23 months - who she has with her husband, 36-year-old rapper A$AP Rocky - cannot wait to see Smurfs. She said: "They're excited about it. "To be there with them to see Smurfette on screen with my voice coming out of her mouth is a huge moment. It's fun to share this with them." The film sees the Smurfs rescue Papa Smurf (John Goodman) after evil wizards Razamel and Gargamel (both voiced by JP Karliak) take him. And with the help from new pals, they "must discover what defines their destiny to save the universe". Rihanna - who contributed music to the film's soundtrack - hopes the movie will make audiences realise that they can achieve anything in life, as well as the importance of teamwork. She said: "I hope they have fun watching it and come away with the positive message that, to achieve anything in life, [it] takes a team. "We all need a strong team around us. I know I do."

Jeff Bezos ‘didn't make any of his wedding guest VIPs sign gagging contracts'

Jeff Bezos didn't make any of the VIPs at his wedding sign gagging contracts, one of his guests claims. The Amazon founder billionaire, 61, and his partner Lauren Sanchez, 55, exchanged vows at the end ofd June during a weekend of celebrations held at a private venue in Venice. And one of the couple's guests, 44-year-old actress and podcast host Sara Foster has now spoken candidly about attending the lavish ceremony. Sara, who is the daughter of music producer David Foster, revealed behind-the-scenes details of the three-day celebration in Italy during an episode of The World's First Podcast, which she co-hosts with her sister Erin Foster. She said: 'No one signed NDAs. No NDAs.' Jeff and Lauren's wedding, which took place on 27 June, brought together a guest list of more than 200 people, including some of the world's most high-profile names. Sara added the event felt far more intimate than the public had been led to believe. She said: 'There's nothing – it's so interesting how the optics were this over the top, you know, protesters… it's just not, it's not what it was. 'It actually felt very intimate.' The ceremony, reported to have cost around $50 million, attracted global media attention and saw the presence of celebrities such as Mick Jagger, 80, Oprah Winfrey, 70, Leonardo DiCaprio, 49, Sydney Sweeney, 26, Jerry Seinfeld, 70, Orlando Bloom, 47, Jessica Alba, 43, Bill Gates, 68, Brooks Nader, 27, and Ivanka Trump, 42. Members of the Kardashian-Jenner family were also in attendance, including Kim Kardashian, 43, Khloé Kardashian, 40, Kendall Jenner, 28, Kylie Jenner, 27, and Kris Jenner, 68. Sara addressed the criticism she received online after sharing photos from the wedding on Instagram. 'Here's the problem. You can't say anything anymore without being attacked,' she said. Sara added: 'I swear to God, it never occurred to me once that anybody would take issue with people attending a wedding. Truly. It really didn't. It didn't.' She also hinted at the discretion of some attendees. Sara went on: 'There were definitely a lot of people that were not photographed. 'I can't. I mean, that's, like, so lame. I'm not gonna do that. But it's very interesting how many people went un-photographed. It was definitely a very interesting setup.'

Sophie Turner found it 'weird' having Kit Harington play her lover

Sophie Turner found it "weird" to play Kit Harington's lover in a movie. The pair - who first starred together as half-siblings Sansa Stark and Jon Snow in eight seasons of Game of Thrones between 2019 and 2019 - have showcased a very different relationship in upcoming gothic horror film The Dreadful, and the 29-year-old actress admitted it was bizarre having to get up close and personal with her good friend. Speaking in a video interview with Vogue, she said: "I did a movie last year which I'm really excited about with my old but very good friend Kit Harington, who played my brother on Game of Thrones. "We're doing a gothic horror… but we play lovers." Sophie then grimaced as she apologised to viewers. She said: "Sorry, guys. It's really weird for all of us." Game of Thrones featured incestuous relationships and Sophie had previously teased "things could happen" between Sansa and Jon, particularly after his true parentage was revealed, but she admitted she would find it awkward. Speaking in 2016, she told Access Hollywood: "Things could happen, things couldn't happen. They are cousins and it is Game of Thrones. "I could not do that with Kit. There's no way I could do those kind of scenes with Kit— I'd laugh way too much." Despite finding it "weird" playing lovers in The Dreadful, which is set in the 15th century during the War of the Roses, Sophie previously admitted she pushed producers to cast Kit, 38, opposite her. She told the Sunday Times newspaper: "They were trying to find someone for that role, and I was like, 'You can't not have Kit.' "It's set around the time of the Wars of the Roses, so we'll probably be floating about in robes on clifftops again." Sophie - who has Willa, four, and three-year-old Delphine with ex-husband Joe Jonas - previously joked she "got [her] sex education" from Game of Thrones. During an appearance on the Dish podcast, she quipped: "I definitely got my sex education from that show. More than enough." Sophie also likened her castmates to family members. She explained: "I never had proper formal training, so I got to learn from the amazing actors around me, which I felt like I won a competition. But it was great. We all were a family. "My character, I got to live with. So it felt like we kind of merged into one person by the end of it. But it was amazing." Sophie admits that the show "informed [her] entire life in terms of like business decisions, just etiquette on set, how to act". She added: "Everything I learned from Game of Thrones — and a bit from my parents."
