Sarah Jessica Parker has been pictured filming scenes for the new Sex And The City movie in Morocco.

Acknowledging the country's Muslim dress-code, SJP - who plays Carrie - was spotted strutting the streets of Marrakech dressed in a full length purple skirt, 'J'Adore Dior' T-shirt and silver bolero jacket to cover up.

Co-star Cynthia Nixon, who plays Miranda, was also pictured in the exotic city wearing a floaty floor-length white shirt dress, belted at the waist, with a white jacket and white trilby as she pounded the pavements of old Marrakech's main square Djemaa El Fna.

Producers are trying to keep secret why Carrie is in Morocco, but there are rumours she and new husband Mr Big travel there to adopt a child.

Sex And The City costume designer Patricia Field told People magazine: "We're shooting there for about six weeks.

"You'll probably see belly dancers and Bedouins."

As well as Marrakech, the SATC crew are expected to film in the Moroccan cities of Reefed and Rabat.
