Specially invited guests and readers gathered at Movies @ Dundrum for an exclusive screening of Warner Bros’ much anticipated film, “Sex and the City 2”, hosted by THE GLOSS and Moët & Chandon Cinema Club. The movie is surely one of the most talked about in recent times and the champagne fuelled atmosphere on the evening of the screening was electric.

The assembled guests were treated to snipes of Moët and a feast of canapés from Neil Shirt Catering, followed by delicious Lindor chocolates from Swiss chocolate makers, Lindt. The crowd included TV3 presenter Anna Daly, Brendan Courtney from Off the Rails, models Baiba Gaile and Irma Mali, Ciara Egan of Quintessentially (the concierge Dublin is in love with), Kathryn Thomas and celebrity chef Clodagh McKenna who has just established a new cookery school at the luxurious Village At Lyons in Kildare.

The movie is as over the top as one would expect with a level of high camp and innuendo that’s through the roof – wouldn’t want it any other way! Judging by the gasps, laughs and giggles from the (mostly female) audience SATC2 definitely met their approval.

It was the third such event hosted by The GLOSS and Moët & Chandon Cinema Club, which are taking place throughout the year to mark the glamorous role the champagne brand has played in the history of film, both on and off screen. It’s been the champagne of cinema since the early days of Hollywood, supporting several hundred films since the 1930s including iconic ones such as Love in the Afternoon, Pretty Woman, Titanic, Ocean’s 12 and of course Sex and the City 2.
