It is ten years since the stars of Sex and the City first won over viewers with their cosmopolitan adventures in New York.

But with the help of computer technology the four actresses have rolled back the years for photographs promoting a film version of their television show.

With Sarah Jessica Parker, 43, back at the helm of her all girl pack, the stars posed for the promotional shoot ahead of the release of their big screen debut in May.

Chris Bickmore, an airbrush artist, said the faces had all been retouched. "None of them have any eye bags or crow's feet around their eyes in this PR shot," he added. "Their faces are all now really perfect when women of their ages would have some wrinkles and facial detail.

"Kim Cattrall in the latest shot has also had the mole below her lip completely removed. I'd also say they've had their teeth made a brighter white too."

Sarah recently revealed that as well as good genes, her secret to staying in shape is Pilates and, she adds, "running around New York City and having a five-year-old [son James Wilkie Broderick]."

But the svelte star insists she doesn't follow a strict diet regime.

She said recently: "I eat everything. I'm just an eater. If it's free, I honestly eat everything."

"Last night I had steak and some lamb shank. And I had some roasted chicken and some cassoulet and some profiteroles and some ice cream and some cheesecake."

Sarah recently admitted she was extremely hurt by a Maxim poll that named her "unsexiest woman alive."

She defended her surgery-free appearance, saying: "Do I have big fake boobs, Botox and big lips? No.

"Do I fit some ideals and standards of some men writing in a men's magazine? Maybe not.

"Am I really the unsexiest women in the world? Wow! It's kind of shocking when men... It's so brutal in a way, so filled with rage and anger."

Still, she couldn't be more happy about the upcoming film, saying: "I'm very excited. We've still got a lot of work to do, and very little time to do it but I'm hoping that it's worth the wait."

Several endings have been shot in a bid to keep fans guessing whether perennial singleton Carrie Bradshaw will finally tie the knot with Mr Big.

The film, which picks up from the series four years on, was delayed for some time amid reports of rows between Sarah and Kim, who plays man eater Samantha Jones.

Cattrall famously negotiated hard over payment for the film, and reportedly had a bust up over Sarah's $US3 million salary - twice that of her co-stars.

Meanwhile, Sarah has talked down rumours that there is another Sex and the City television series in the works.

She said: "As a mother I just can't be away from my son that kind of time."
