Tuesday 2 August 2022 10:24 PM EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Right-on Livia Firth launches rant at Sex and the City's ... trends now
Sarah Jessica Parker has long been hailed as a trendsetter for fashionistas all over the world thanks to her role as style icon Carrie Bradshaw in Sex And The City.
But it would appear her look on the hit show falls some way short of approval from self-styled queen of sustainability Livia Firth who has hit out at the star for showcasing her unrealistic flat stomach.
Livia, 52, the estranged wife of Oscar-winner Colin Firth, has attacked the actress for showing off something Livia suggests so few women can aspire to, it may cause eating disorders.
The ethical fashion campaigner voiced her disgust by sharing a picture of Parker, 56, top left, on set as Carrie wearing a cropped pink blouse with her taut midriff accentuated by a tight, above-the-waist belt.

'Every time I see images like this (and I see a lot of them) I wonder A, why do we create clothes that only women who don't eat can wear?' asks Livia.
'And B, why do we want to make women feel bad about their bodies if their tummies are not like these (and the majority of women don't have a tummy like this). And C, why do we demonise eating?'
Livia adds: 'So many girls and women I know suffer from food disorders because of this and I wonder what will it take to turn the tide on fashion as a vehicle of so much mental health issues and destruction and instead use it for wellbeing and construction?'
Despite her criticisms of the actress known as SJP, Livia may be surprised to learn they actually sing from the same hymn sheet.
The star has previously criticised Victoria Beckham and other slender stars for shedding their baby weight too quickly.
'There's all this emphasis on losing weight. Look at Posh Spice or whoever. But that life is not what's real,' she said.
Art's enfant terrible joins the cafe society
The world's richest artist, Damien Hirst (left of both pictures), has shared a glimpse of a new artwork, a cappuccino (right picture) depicting in its milk foam the 57-year-old and his ex-ballerina girlfriend Sophie Cannell (right of both pictures), 28
Could this be the most expensive cup of coffee ever made?
The world's richest artist, Damien Hirst, has shared a glimpse of a new artwork, a cappuccino depicting in its milk foam the 57-year-old and his ex-ballerina girlfriend Sophie Cannell, 28.
Hirst is to burn thousands of his famous dot paintings next month.
Buyers who spent £1,600 on the physical art were given the option to see their investment torched in exchange for a digital version known as a non-fungible token, a type of digital asset.
They probably needed something stronger than coffee after making that decision.
