Bo Derek, a Hollywood bombshell of over 40 years, returned to the red carpet for a rare public appearance beside her husband John Corbett at the event.
Corbett has returned to the show as Carrie's ex Aidan, a recurring part he played on the original series, winning the hearts of fans.
Aidan featured on season two of And Just Like That... as he and Carrie attempted to reignite their old relationship, only to end up going their separate ways again.
In spite of their latest breakup, however, Aidan reappears in the trailer for the new show, leaving a few embers of hope still glowing for their romance.
Now Corbett, 64, is celebrating the premiere of the new season - and Derek, 68, who was with him for 18 years before they married in 2020, was by his side.
For her latest public appearance, Derek exuded a youthful glow as she posed in a snappy monochrome trouser suit that accentuated her still willowy frame.
Her snappy ensemble featured metallic studs around the edges of the jacket and down the sleeves and trouser legs, adding an extra splash of personality.
Meanwhile Corbett was the image of the silver fox with a salt-and-pepper beard, debonair black outfit and sleek orange sunglasses.
Derek, who rose to fame as a blonde bombshell in the 1979 sex comedy 10, married John in December 2020 after a romantic relationship of 18 years.
Nicole Ari Parker, 54, put on a leggy display in a shimmering metallic dress. She wore her blonde tresses in a voluminous bob.
Evan Handler, 64, rocked a dark suit with a blue button up shirt.
Christopher Griffin wore a colorful skirt with a white crop top.
Mario Cantone, 65, looked handsome as ever in a patterned navy suit.
Last month, the new trailer for season three of And Just Like That was trolled by fans.
The teaser featured Sarah, Kristin, and Cynthia reprising their respective roles of Carrie, Charlotte York, and Miranda Hobbes.
The clip had the actresses talking to camera, in between snippets from the upcoming season.
However, amused viewers were quick to mock the styling and editing of the three-minute long clip on social media, with some viewers claiming it looked stilted and odd.
'Shot edited and scored like a pharmaceutical ad,' declared one user.
'This looks even worse than the first seasons, which I didn't think was possible,' joked another.
'Who else is looking forward to the train wreck that is #AndJustLikeThat season three?' asked another.
'Just for some reasoned watched the season three trailer of And just like that and it still looks god awful,' laughed someone else.
Kim Cattrall's character Samantha Jones, one of the four leads on Sex And The City, is still not part of And Just Like That.
Spin-off And Just Like That... first began airing in 2021 on HBO Max, with the second season premiering last year in 2023. Kim Cattrall did not return for the show but made a shock cameo in the second season finale
The iconic drama ran on TV for six seasons between 1998-2004 followed by two movies
After years of rumors that Kim did not get along with the rest of the original cast, she notably refused to return for the spinoff series.
Sex and the City aired for 6 seasons on HBO. It premiered in 1998, and concluded in 2004.
Sex and the City: The Movie was released in 2008, followed by Sex and the City 2 in 2010.

Blake Lively assembles squad of activists to accuse Justin Baldoni of 'abandoning' MeToo message
Blake Lively took aim at Justin Baldoni Thursday amid her ongoing litigation with her It Ends with Us collaborator, saying that women's groups are abandoning him in droves. A total of '19 leading survivors and organizations devoted to women's rights, children's rights and domestic violence have now signed onto four separate amicus briefs,' a spokesperson for the 37-year-old actress told Us Weekly in a statement Thursday. The statement continued: 'All are united in opposing Justin Baldoni's attempt to dismantle a law designed to protect women who speak up — simply to protect himself.' Lively's team said that Baldoni is going against his own playbook as the complicated legal case progresses, leaving himself open to increased scrutiny in the wake of his past public statements. 'Rather than defend his case on the facts, Baldoni is now contradicting years of his own public persona — abandoning the message of his #MeToo YouTube 's, podcasts, TED Talks, and interviews, where he once upon a time urged men 'to listen to the women in your life … to hold their anguish and actually believe them, even if what they're saying is against you,' Lively's rep said. has reached out to reps for Lively and Baldoni for further comment on this story. Lively's team said, 'All are united in opposing Justin Baldoni's attempt to dismantle a law designed to protect women who speak up — simply to protect himself.' The statement wrapped up: 'These women and organizations are sounding the alarm about his DARVO tactics, and the chilling effect they could have well beyond this case.' Lively on Thursday shared to Instagram a series of posts in which she engaged in a meet and greet in support of her beauty brand. She was seen addressing people who showed up for a hot Pilates session. Numerous products from her Blake Brown beauty brand were on display at the promotional event, where she posed for a shot with social media star Erika Priscilla. Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment in a lawsuit; while Baldoni accused Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and publicist Leslie Sloane of defamation and extortion in a $400 million suit. Baldoni has denied the allegations brought about by Lively, while Lively, Reynolds and Sloane have denied the accusations made in litigation by Baldoni. Baldoni's team has released a website which includes private communications such as text messages that were included in court filings detailing his interactions with the Hollywood power couple over the making of romantic drama. He claimed in court filings they made efforts made to usurp and undermine his input as the director of It Ends with Us. Baldoni's team previously said that the communications shared in court filings on the website makes things clear about the motives of both parties. The website, which is live online at comes amid a spate of high-profile litigation between the collaborators on the film, which was a hit at the box office last August. Lively filed an 80-page civil rights complaint with the California Civil Rights Department against Baldoni December 20, before officially filing a federal lawsuit on December 31. Lively in December sued Baldoni amid claims of sexual harassment during production of the motion picture. In her lawsuit, the Gossip Girl alum accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her in multiple ways - including body shaming her - and orchestrating a smear campaign against her to damage her reputation. Baldoni and his reps have said in response to the lawsuit that Lively twisted the meaning of text messages and mislead the public about their interactions while making the motion picture. In her lawsuit, Lively named a number of Baldoni's collaborators, including his company Wayfarer Studios, the studio's CEO and financial backer, and PR personnel Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel. 'I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted,' Lively told The New York Times the day after she filed the complaint. Baldoni subsequently sued the newspaper for $250 million in a defamation claim over a December 21 story titled '"We Can Bury Anyone": Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine;' the newspaper has denied the allegations. Baldoni on January 16 filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds and her publicist Leslie Sloane, alleging defamation and extortion. Baldoni told the court the trio had concocted 'false accusations of sexual harassment' against him. Since Lively's complaint was filed, Baldoni has faced a number of professional consequences, including a lawsuit from a former publicist; and being dropped by the agency WME, which also reps Lively and Reynolds. WME has denied claims that Lively and Reynolds leaned on them to release Baldoni from their client roster, according to Variety. Lawyers for both parties were in accordance with a plan to compound both federal cases filed into one moving forward. All parties to the litigations have denied the allegations against them. It Ends with Us, which also starred Jenny Slate, Hasan Minhaj, Brandon Sklenar and Kevin McKidd, arrived in theaters August 9 and was a hit with audiences. The film, adapted from the 2016 Colleen Hoover novel, earned $148 million in domestic box office, and $350 million globally, according to Box Office Mojo. Lively broke out with the 2005 movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants opposite Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel and America Ferrera. That led to her high-profile role on the TV show Gossip Girl, which she starred on from 2007-2012, playing lead character Serena van der Woodsen. She has also appeared in movies such as 2010's The Town, 2016's The Shallows, 2018's A Simple Favor and 2020's The Rhythm Section. Prior to It Ends with Us, Baldoni was best known for playing the role of Rafael Solano on the TV show Jane the Virgin from 2014–2019. He also has directed films including 2019's Five Feet Apart and 2020's Clouds, and penned the 2021 book Man Enough, which tackled misconceptions of contemporary masculinity.

Disneyland announces it is shutting down beloved ride as part of wave of changes at the park
Disneyland has revealed it is shutting down one of its beloved rides to make way for a new attraction. The California resort announced last summer that a new Avatar themed ride would be making its way to fans. But now it has emerged that will be at the cost of a beloved fan-favorite attraction; Monsters, Inc. Mike and Sulley to the Rescue! The ride is set to close at the beginning at 2026 in order to make way for a new era of Disneyland. The current attraction whisks riders through scenes from the Monsters Inc universe as characters Mike and Sulley race through the streets of Monstropolis to rescue Boo. It was launched in 2006, allowing millions of guests to enjoy the 20-year run. Not only is Monstropolis getting a makeover, part of Disneyland California Resort's backlot where the ride is located will be reconstructed to immerse park-goers into the world of Avatar. However, unlike Florida's Disneyworld, this iteration will not be based on the original 'Avatar' film. Instead the area will become a visual recreation of ' Avatar: The Way of Water ' According to Disney Parks Blog and may even feature concepts from upcoming Avatar films. Concept imagery shows the headlining ride taking fans through the sparkling blue lagoons of Pandora. The area will be centered around the water, recreating the landscape of the film and allowing park-goers to feel fully immersed, as if they are Avatars themselves. Disney officials describe the addition as 'dynamic, intense and an emotional experience on a grand scale', the LA Times reports. An opening and construction timeline has yet to be released. But Park-goers who loved the Monsters Inc ride are mourning its closure. 'So disappointing. Why they would make an Avatar land is beyond me. Part of the appeal of DCA is it's better for littler kids. This was one of the anchor rides for that experience. More disappointment,' wrote X user Rami Elghandour. 'They should just give us a Monsters Inc. land instead,' said another user. Park-goers who loved the fan-favorite attraction are mourning its closure 'This sucks! Avatar fits ten times better in Animal Kingdom than DCA… transitioning from Hollywood Land to Avatar? Really? Nope. Down with the idea—would rather have the Muppets back and keep Monsters Inc. alive to preserve kid-friendly rides in the park! There's not enough for little ones to do!' another fan chimed in. '@DisneyParks has no idea how to do the 'theme' in theme parks anymore. Just random stuff everywhere now,' complained another. 'R.I.P. Monsters. I'll forever miss you,' one user simply mourned. The new themed area was announced alongside other exciting additions to the Disneyland landscape, including a new 'Coco' attraction located near Pixar Pier at Disneyland California Adventure. This will mark the first 'Coco' activity in any Disney theme park, Disney Parks Blog writes. 'The attraction will be filled with the characters — and music! — you know and love from the beloved movie, as you join Miguel on a trip to the land of the dead.' Construction will begin in in fall 2026. Disney also plans on adding two new 'Avengers' attractions to Avengers Campus in Disneyland's California Adventure, although creators have yet to release a timeline for their construction. Disney also promised a new parking structure to accommodate demand for their millions of guests, according to Disney Parks Blog. 'This new area will provide approximately 6,000 parking spaces, shuttle and rideshare areas, security screening and dedicated access for traffic off of Disney Way, improving parking and traffic flow throughout the resort area' While this transformation marks an ending for many beloved rides, Disneyland continues to add one new attraction after the other in theme with new films and fan favorites. As Monster's Inc. fans mourn the loss of the classic ride, Avatar fans can get excited about ushering in a brand new era. 'This is just the beginning of exciting growth here at Disneyland Resort, and we look forward to sharing more about all of these projects in the future,' a spokesman said.

Miley Cyrus makes very rare comments about ex Nick Jonas as she shares if they are friends these days
Miley Cyrus revealed where she currently stands with her ex-boyfriend, Nick Jonas, after they dated as teenagers. The Flowers singer, 32, reminisced on the time she briefly dated the Jonas Brothers member, also 32, when they were both Disney stars and opened up about their current relationship. During an appearance on the Every Single Album podcast, Cyrus said that there's no bad blood between them despite their bad breakup, which she went on to describe in detail. 'I like Nick,' she said during Thursday's podcast episode. 'I'm into him.' She also gushed about his marriage to Priyanka Chopra and the couple's three-year-old daughter Malti. Her confession comes just shortly after she seemingly shaded her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth with a snarky, sly move. 'He's married with children. We're all moving on. Everything is good in the world,' she said on the podcast. Then, she jokingly added, 'Niley for life,' as she referenced their past couple name. Nearly two decades ago, Cyrus and Jonas dated from 2006 to 2007 before briefly reconnecting in 2009. The Hannah Montana alum's songs, 7 Things and Before the Storm, are rumored to be about her relationship with him. During her podcast appearance, she opened up about their breakup after they dated on-and-off nearly two decades ago. She admitted that their first split left her 'distraught' and 'sobbing' before explaining why they mutually decided to break up. She said that 'part of the reason we broke up' was because he was going on tour with his band instead of opening for her. 'He was, like, separating himself from the Disney thing, and I wanted him to take me on the tour,' she recalled. 'Like, "Why don't we do it together? I don't understand why you're leaving me."' Cyrus went on to date actor Liam Hemsworth, whom she married in 2018 but divorced after two years; pictured May 2019 in New York City She mentioned how she touched on their past relationship in her 2009 autobiography, Miles To Go, where she referred to Jonas as 'Prince Charming.' She said she wrote about him more positively in the book than she felt at the time when she was heartbroken. Reflecting on her writing that book, she added: 'I probably was like ... "Nick Jonas dumped me. He's a d**k. But they were like, "We can say he's not a very nice boy." But I was probably like, "He's an a**hole.' Then, she joked about how he is 'still catching strays' after so long since their breakup back then. Following their split, Cyrus went on to date country singer Justin Gaston and later actor Liam Hemsworth, whom she married in 2018 but divorced after two years. Since their divorce, Cyrus has been linked to reality star Kaitlynn Carter, singer Cody Simpson and her current boyfriend of four years, Maxx Morando. As for Jonas, he had many A-list romances over the years but went on to marry Chopra in December 2018. The couple welcomed their daughter via surrogate in 2021.
