On a breezy Thursday evening in Paris, Sarah Jessica Parker reminded everyone why she’s still a fashion icon.
Spotted leaving a chic dinner at D’chez Eux, the actress was the embodiment of glam in a black lace dress, complete with eye-catching neon pink heels.
With her blonde hair styled in soft waves and a bold blue handbag on her arm, she looked every bit the screen legend fans have adored for decades.
She even rocked a pair of statement sunglasses on her way into the hotel—because if you’re SJP in Paris, that’s just how you do things.
Cynthia Nixon Brings the Drama in Tassels and Stilettos
Not far behind her was her And Just Like That… co-star Cynthia Nixon, who made her own fashion statement in an off-the-shoulder black dress with a dramatic tasselled skirt.
She added stilettos and a sleek clutch to the mix, stepping into the same hotel as the ultimate power duo reunited in style.
It’s not just their wardrobe that’s turning heads this week—reviews for their show’s third season are finally turning a corner too.
The Reviews Are In: Season 3 Is Actually… Good?
After two seasons that critics and fans mostly side-eyed, the third season of And Just Like That… is being hailed as a true return to form.
The Daily Mail’s Claudia Connell gave it four stars, cheekily saying it’s “finally hitting the right note” after the last two seasons were “as flat as a loafer shoe Carrie wouldn’t be caught dead in.”
The Guardian also warmed up, calling it a nostalgic guilty pleasure with “some of the old Sex and the City magic.”
Even The Independent admitted the show is “finally finding its groove,” calling it a smoother, if quieter, watch.
Outlets like IndieWire, Collider, Time Magazine, and Mamamia are also applauding the improvement, noting that the series has settled into something more familiar—and finally watchable.
Saying Goodbye to Mr. Big Was Tougher Than You Think
In a recent sit-down with E! News, Sarah Jessica Parker opened up about one of the show’s most shocking moments: Mr. Big’s death.
His character, played by Chris Noth, suffered a fatal heart attack in Season 1 after riding his Peloton—sparking outrage and heartbreak alike.
For SJP, filming that moment was deeply emotional.
“Big dying was really, really hard to do both professionally and personally,” she admitted.
“It was one of the main arteries of the show… it was sad to say goodbye.”
Even with all the chaos, romance, and contradictions in their love story, Sarah still sees value in it. “All of it was a mess, and all of it was wonderful,” she said. “It was romantic, and it was a disaster.”
Aidan’s Back, But Is This Love Story Built to Last?
Since Big’s dramatic exit, Carrie’s love life has circled back to a familiar face: Aidan Shaw, played by John Corbett.
In Season 3, they’re trying to make a long-distance relationship work—he’s now a farmer in Virginia, and she’s… well, Carrie.
Let’s be honest: Carrie Bradshaw as a farmer’s wife? That’s a stretch.
Even their attempt at phone sex falls a bit flat. But don’t worry—there might be a new man on the horizon.
Enter Duncan, Carrie’s grumpy yet intriguing downstairs neighbor and a famous British writer. Yep, sparks are flying.
Miranda’s Love Life Goes International… and Lesbian
Miranda, once a cynical lawyer juggling motherhood, is still full of surprises.
This season, she dives into a new relationship with Joy, a sophisticated BBC producer, after a one-night stand.
It’s another bold twist in her journey, and fans are loving the unpredictability.
The Show Still Has Its Silly Moments, But That’s the Charm
Is everything realistic? Definitely not. Women pushing 60 walking around New York in five-inch heels and always available for coffee dates? It’s fantasy.
But the show embraces its quirks. Charlotte accidentally getting “cancelled” by dog moms in Central Park? Hilarious.
Carrie struggling with smart home tech? Relatable.
And the battle to land a top NYC tutor nicknamed “the Ivy Whisperer”? Peak satire.
Samantha Might Be Missing, But Seema’s Stepping In
While fans are still mourning the loss of Samantha Jones, the fabulous and fearless PR queen, Seema (Sarita Choudhury) is holding it down.
As Carrie’s sharp real estate agent friend, she brings her own brand of sass—especially when a matchmaker tells her to tone it down and wear pastels.
Spoiler: she does not take that advice.
Fashion Is Still the Beating Heart of the Series
Of course, And Just Like That… wouldn’t be complete without the fashion parade.
There’s a different outfit every scene—some stunning, others… a little bizarre.
One episode features Carrie in a huge Maryam Keyhani hat that makes her look like the Artful Dodger.
And yes, there’s even a whole musical montage built around her noisy heels on wooden floors.
Is it over-the-top? Always. But that’s why we keep watching.
Chris Noth’s Controversial Exit Still Casts a Shadow
Behind the scenes, Chris Noth’s real-life controversies have lingered.
Accused of sexual misconduct in 2021—claims he firmly denies—Noth admitted to cheating on his wife but insisted his actions “weren’t a crime.”
Married to actress Tara Wilson since 2012, he’s since spoken to their teenage son about the situation.
The allegations effectively ended his involvement with the show, though he maintains he’s still on good terms with some cast members.
