Kim Cattrall was one of the top celebrity fashion trend makers in her role as Samantha Jones in the HBO series “Sex and the City,” and in the two feature films that followed, and she was never afraid to share her opinions with costume designer Patricia Field.

She told Vogue.com that she was comfortable telling Field when she felt like an outfit wouldn’t work for a particular scene. The outfits that young fashion industry designers sent for co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis were sample size, unlike Cattrall, but she was OK with that, saying that she knew a lot of those outfits would not have suited her body type or character. “The thing about Patricia was that she knew the actresses body types very well,” she says.
