FNites, there's a new shopping destination in town! SM Aura Premier opened its doors to select guests and members of the media last May 16, and it was a smashing success. Well-heeled attendees turned up to shop (at a number of establishments, including Forever 21 and Uniqlo), mingle, see, and be seen at the mall's wide and spacious halls.

And the highlight of it all? Sarah Jessica Parker of Sex and the City fame, who flew to the Philippines exclusively for the event! Clad in a black long-sleeved, sheer-skirted dress, the actress performed the ceremonial ribbon cutting for The SM Store, which she is the face of, before sitting down for an interview with the (evidently starstruck) press.

"I felt very honored to be here... I love seeing everybody in this room. I loved that all of you women are dressed differently. You all look amazing. All the women are different, and they all look gorgeous, and that's nice to see," the actress shares.
