This week’s long-awaited Sex and the City 2 premiere featured Sarah Jessica Parker in a ravishing fluorescent lemon-hued Valentino dress that appeared in the designer’s spring 2010 Couture Collection and was first featured on the Parisian runway last winter. She accessorized with Ferragamo platform pumps and a stunning diamond bracelet. Meanwhile Kristin Davis was pretty in pink in a floor-length strapless dress by Jean Desses from the vintage boutique, Decades. She also accessorized with some fabulous diamond drop earrings, not unlike those you can find in the Tacori 18k925 jewelry collection. Meanwhile Kim Catrall wore a dress selection not far off from the color palette of Sarah Jessica Parker’s dress–a slightly exotic golden Naeem Khan dress with a plunging neckline. Cynthia Nixon also impressed in an elegant black strapless Caroline Herrera ensemble.

Other stars that graced the Sex and the City 2 premiere were Liza Minelli, who wore an unflattering sheer ensemble and does a performance of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” in the pic, and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Only time will tell if we see another Sex and the City sequel on our hands. As much as viewers seem to enjoy these ladies chatting about shopping, men and diamonds, the sequel has already opened to lackluster reviews.

If you’re looking for some ideas on where to go for your honeymoon, then why not take some advice from some of Hollywood’s biggest stars? Once you have gotten those engagement and wedding rings in place, don’t go cheap when it comes down to finding a romantic locale that you’ll remember for a lifetime.

	Debra Messing and screenwriter Daniel Zelman. This “Will and Grace” and her new husband went to the private and opulent Santa Barbara Bacara Resort after their wedding in 2000. Sipping champagne and heading to the beach, they definitely seemed to be having the time of their lives.
	Elvis and Priscilla Presley. They were the world’s most famous couple at the time, and their honeymoon definitely matched their fame in terms of romance. At first staying at the Aladdin Hotel in Beverly Hills for their honeymoon, they moved to 1350 Ladera Circle in Palm Springs, California, which is now available for rental.
	Clark Gable and Carol Lombard. This couple from the Golden Age of Hollywood spent their honeymoon at the Ingleside Inn in Palm Springs, California.
	Britney Spears and Jason Allen Alexander. Though this 24-hour marriage was quickly annulled, the “Crazy” singer wed a high school friend in a Vegas chapel, after which the couple hot the casinos and partied till dawn.
	Victoria “Posh Spice” and David Beckham. The two wed in a decadent ceremony in Ireland, after which the couple took a brief honeymoon in a villa in the south of France, taking their infant son, named Brooklyn, along with them.
	Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. This New York couple wouldn’t think of marrying anywhere outside of their beloved city, but the honeymoon was a different matter completely. The couple chose a unique destination in green and beautiful Ireland for their honeymoon.
	Kate Winslet and Jim Threapleton. Before Winslet was an Oscar winner, and before her marriage with Sam Mendes, she wed Threapleton in England and headed out for a rustic honeymoon in Western Scotland.
	Director Steven Soderbergh and Julie Asner. This Hollywood heavyweight, who directed the Oscar favorite flick, “Traffic”, wed E! Entertainment News anchor, Julie Asner, in New York, before heading out for a honeymoon in France. Of course, Soderbergh was also a judge at the Cannes Film Festival for their French honeymoon.
	Jennifer Lopez and Cris Judd. Before J-Lo was J-Lo, and before her romance with Ben Affleck and marriage to Mark Antony, she wed Cris Judd. The pair honeymooned in George Clooney’s favorite hot spot, Lake Como in Italy, a scenic northern Italian locale.
	Natalie Imbruglia and Daniel Johns. This pop singer, best known for her late nineties single, “Torn”, wed Silverchair singer Daniel Johns at the Thala Beach Lodge, before heading out for a romantic Australian honeymoon.

	Liza Minelli and David Gest. This short-lived couple, whose reality show never got off the ground, spent their honeymoon at the luxuriously exotic Amanpuri resort in Phuket, Thailand, where they enjoyed massages, boating excursions and fantastic Thai meals.
	Trista and Ryan Sutter. This star of “The Bachelorette” honeymooned with hubby Ryan Sutter on Fiji’s lavish Turtle Island. This island was splashed all over newspapers a decade ago when it hosted the first wedding of the millennium because of its location on the international date line.

	Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise. The star-crossed couple honeymooned at the Hotel Cipriani in beautiful Venice, Italy. Offering private gardens, marble-trimmed rooms, and gorgeous balconies, it doesn’t get more swoon-worthy than this.
	Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin. Honeymooning in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, at the Esperanza Resort, this chic couple enjoyed Mexican clay spa treatments with aphrodicisacs, a delicious menu with authentic Mexican fare, and of course the beautiful beaches.
	Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The pair had only divorced sixteen months earlier, but decided to remarry at the exclusive Chobe Game Lodge in Botswana. Featuring individual private swimming pools, a famous game reserve and “love canopy” beds. As luxurious as the honeymoon was, however, the pair lasted less than a year.
