Sarah Jessica Parker recently turned heads while leaving dinner at a chic Paris restaurant, looking effortlessly glamorous in a black lace dress paired with eye-catching neon pink heels.
The Sex and the City star, now 60, carried a large blue handbag and topped off her look with loose blonde waves and stylish sunglasses as she headed back to her hotel.
Meanwhile, her co-star Cynthia Nixon, who plays Miranda in the hit series And Just Like That, also caught attention in an off-the-shoulder black dress with a dramatic tasselled skirt.
Both actresses stayed at the same luxurious hotel, making it clear the much-anticipated new season is already stirring excitement in the City of Lights.
The Third Season of And Just Like That Is Receiving Better Reviews
After a rocky start with the first two seasons, the new third series of And Just Like That has been getting noticeably better feedback.
Critics are saying the show is finally hitting its stride.
Claudia Connell from The Mail gave it a solid four stars, praising it for moving away from earlier missteps.
She described the reboot as shedding its “flat” beginnings to recapture the charm that made the original Sex and the City such a hit.
The Guardian chimed in with a three-star review, noting that while some old jokes and storylines still fall flat, the show is bringing back enough familiar magic to make fans feel nostalgic.
The Independent also agreed, saying the series “finally started to find its groove,” making it a smoother and more enjoyable watch.
Even IndieWire, Collider, Time Magazine, and Mamamia joined the chorus of positive voices, suggesting the third season is settling into a rhythm that resonates with longtime viewers.
Sarah Jessica Parker Opens Up About Filming Mr. Big’s Death Scene
One of the most emotional moments in the series is the death of Mr. Big, Carrie Bradshaw’s beloved husband, played by Chris Noth.
Sarah Jessica Parker recently revealed that filming this scene was incredibly challenging for her, both professionally and personally.
In an interview with E! News, she described Mr. Big’s death as “really, really hard to do,” calling it a major storyline that was central to the show.
She said goodbye to the character was “really sad,” but also acknowledged how meaningful the story had been over the years.
While some fans questioned how Carrie and Big’s relationship unfolded, Sarah pointed out the messy but real nature of their romance — full of highs and lows, love and disaster.
What Happened to Chris Noth Since Sex and the City?
Chris Noth’s career faced turbulence in 2021 following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, which he has consistently denied.
He did admit to straying on his wife, calling it “devastating” for her but emphasized that it was not a crime.
Despite the controversy, he has remained close with his former castmates and continues to maintain his innocence in public statements.
Chris has been married to Tara Wilson since 2012, and together they have two children.
What’s New for Carrie and Friends in Season Three?
The new season explores Carrie’s relationship with her ex-fiance Aidan Shaw, played by John Corbett, as they try a long-distance romance between New York and his Virginia farm.
However, this storyline hasn’t won over everyone — many feel it stretches credibility for a city girl like Carrie.
To shake things up, a promising new character has entered the scene: Duncan, Carrie’s grumpy but charming British neighbor and a famous writer, with whom she shares instant chemistry.
Miranda’s Romantic Life Takes a New Turn
Miranda, played by Cynthia Nixon, is also navigating new romantic waters with Joy, a BBC producer played by Dolly Wells.
Their relationship adds fresh energy and a late-life lesbian romance to the series, providing both humor and heart.
Relatable Moments and Real-Life Challenges
While some parts of the show feel a bit far-fetched — like women in their late 50s constantly meeting for endless social outings or teetering around in impractical heels — there are plenty of moments that hit home.
Viewers can relate to Carrie’s tech struggles with smart home devices, or Charlotte’s social faux pas when her dog is mistakenly “cancelled” by the neighborhood dog owners.
These scenes add a realistic and humorous touch to the show’s mix.
Samantha’s Absence and New Characters Filling the Gap
The show still misses Samantha Jones, the feisty fourth friend from the original series, but the void is partially filled by Seema, a sharp-tongued real estate agent who refuses to play the typical “ladylike” role expected of women her age.
Seema’s storyline brings fresh sass and attitude, reminding fans that this reboot is still full of surprises.
Fashion Still Takes Center Stage
Of course, the fashion remains a highlight. The characters change outfits multiple times per episode, with looks ranging from stunning to downright quirky.
One memorable moment features Carrie sporting an enormous hat that makes her look like a character from Dickens, while another showcases her fabulous shoe collection in a playful montage.
Though some fashion choices seem a bit over the top, it all adds to the fun and glamour fans expect from a Sex and the City-related series.
The Ladies Are Back and Ready for More
As the women approach their 60s, And Just Like That brings them back into the spotlight, with more sex, more fashion, and more drama.
While Samantha’s absence is still felt, the show is gradually finding its footing — and fans are eager to see what the next chapter holds for Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and their growing circle.
