They're back - Sex and the City 2 has begun filming in Manhattan. Cameras have started rolling on the eagerly anticipated sequel - and Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw in the movie based on the hit TV show, was the first to shoot scenes.

She was spotted in a flowing white dress and aviator-style shades looking radiant on the city's Upper East Side. One onlooker said: "She looked stunning." Dozens of fans and photographers packed the city's sidewalks to get a glimpse at the much-anticipated sequel. Sex and the City: The Movie has already grossed more than $400 million USD at the box office worldwide. The new flick, again directed by Michael Patrick King, is scheduled to hit screens in May 2010. As well as Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon will all appear. Chris Noth - who plays Mr Big - is also expected to feature.
