Mention Sarah Jessica Parker and HBO in the same sentence and it’s hard not to think of “Sex and the City.” Similarly, it’s hard to see a title like “Divorce” and imagine it being anything but a drama. Yet viewers are being asked to buy Parker in a new comedy about divorce, premiering on HBO Sunday night. For her part, Parker perhaps hopes the role will finally help her shed those infamous “Sex” days of cosmos and Manolo Blahniks.
As such the actress’s look on “Divorce” is anything but high-fashion. There are no tiny closets filled to the brim with haute couture and the female bonds of friendship (while somewhat present) take a backseat to the show’s central relationship.
