Kim Cattrall is in Auckland today, leading and launching the search for Specsavers’ Spectacle Wearer of the Year competition of which she is this year’s star judge.

As an actress, Kim is a woman who needs no real introduction seeing as she is famously known for playing Samantha Jones in the hit television series, Sex and the City.

We admit, it’s hard to remember that Kim isn’t Sam Jones when we first met her. However, Fashion Quarterly‘s Skye Ross happily discovered a little more about the softly-spoken, sweet and charismatic woman behind the fictional character once the two got talking.

Hear what she has to say about her sense of style, how her SATC role influenced her fashion-wise and why she firmly believes confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can wear, in the video above.
