Cameron Diaz was 41 years old, Leslie Mann was 42 years old, Kate Upton was 21 years old, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau was 43 years old, Nicki Minaj was 31 years old, Taylor Kinney was 32, and Don Johnson was 64 years old at the time of The Other Woman’s release on April 25, 2014, in the United States.
Rating Controversy and Resolution
The Other Woman initially received an R rating due to the use of the word “vagina.” However, after a petition and without any edits to the movie, the rating was eventually reduced to PG-13.

Film Synopsis and Character Dynamics
The film features Cameron Diaz, who twisted her leg while chasing Kate Upton. In one scene, when Carly Whitten (Cameron Diaz) meets Kate’s (Leslie Mann) brother Phil (Taylor Kinney), she introduces herself as Carmela.
When Kate walks Carly out, she remarks, “Carmela? Really? Did you and Tony have fun living in Hong Kong? Or did Big Pussy and Meadow miss you too much?” The names mentioned are main characters from the television series The Sopranos (1999).

Behind-the-Scenes and Casting Insights
Also, Lydia’s role was originally written for a Jewish girl, but Nicki Minaj caught the attention of the director, Nick Cassavetes after he saw her on American Idol.
The movie also includes a nod to John Tucker Must Die, as Carly says to Kate, “What, is this high school? Of course we slept together. We’re adults!”
Furthermore, during a scene where the three women spend the night together, Amber’s dance is reminiscent of Kate Upton’s viral video, “Kate Upton: Cat Daddy.”
Fashion Highlights from the Premiere

Notably, this film is one of several that cast Cameron Diaz as part of a female trio, including The Sweetest Thing and Charlie’s Angels. It marks the second collaboration between Cameron Diaz and director Nick Cassavetes, following My Sister’s Keeper.
Julian McMahon auditioned for the role of Mark, and the movie draws inspiration from the 2011 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl.
The Other Woman also reunites Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann from their previous film, the 1996 American romantic comedy film She’s the One. Furthermore, it serves as Olivia Culpo’s debut, while Margot Robbie lost out on the role of Amber to Kate Upton.

In April 2014, Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton attended the UK premiere of their new movie “The Other Woman” in London. As expected, all three ladies looked fabulous.
Interestingly, they all finished their outfits with pointy pumps — Cam and Kate in nude d’Orsay pumps and Leslie in classic black court shoes.

The on-again, off-again actress went sleek and sexy in a tight leather dress from The Row that featured a knee-length hem and three-quarter-length sleeves.
She finished her look with simple nude d’Orsay heels from Manolo Blahnik. Her “Tayler” pumps are made of nude patent leather and feature 4-inch-tall extra-slim heels.

While Cameron went skin-tight and sleek, Leslie and Kate opted for fit ’n flare tea-length frocks that were elegant and ultra-feminine.
Kate wore a cinched-at-the-waist black dress with a draping off-one-shoulder sleeve design — a vintage piece from William.

We initially thought the shoes were from Giuseppe Zanotti because of the shape of the heels. It turns out we were wrong. Which outfit do you like most? Or, perhaps most importantly — which pair of shoes do you prefer?
Manolo Blahnik “Tayler” d’Orsay Pumps in Nude Patent, $735
Christian Louboutin “Iriza” d’Orsay Pumps, $625
We couldn’t find Leslie’s heels online, but similar styles are available on Mytheresa if you fancy them.
