Sex and the City: The Movie , released in 2008, kicked off with Carrie and Mr Big (Chris Noth) shopping for a new home. Carrie fell in love with a penthouse that she referred to as 'heaven on Fifth'. The luxury home, located on prestigious Fifth Avenue, boasts ample space, natural light and an enviable his-and-hers walk-in closet. It is also the site of Mr Big's demise at the beginning of … And Just Like That.
The exteriors of 'heaven on Fifth' were filmed on a pre-war building on 1010 Fifth Avenue. In New York real estate lingo, pre-war buildings are typically defined as properties constructed between 1900 and 1930.
Scenes inside the penthouse, meanwhile, were reportedly shot at the William Ziegler Mansion on 2 East 63rd Street. It was originally built in 1921 for William Ziegler Jr, heir of the Royal Banking Powder Company. Tribeca loft

After Mr Big's death in … And Just Like That, Carrie bought and moved into an ultra-modern, all-white Tribeca loft, complete with views of the Hudson River, on a whim. She ditched the home just days after moving in and swiftly relocated back to her old digs uptown.
The minimalist home was reportedly a set constructed on a soundstage. Gramercy Park townhouse

In season three of … And Just Like That , Carrie sold her beloved Upper East Side apartment, where she has lived on and off over the last few decades, and moved to a townhouse in Gramercy Park—a decision driven by her relationship with her old flame, Aidan (John Corbett).
The home is a real-life property—located at 3 Gramercy Park West, the Greek revival townhouse was built in 1846. Features include a red brick façade and cast-iron lacework entrance.
Carrie's townhouse at this location on the show has four bedrooms, and in real life, it has three bedrooms and measures 1,700 sq ft.
Gramercy Park is one of the most coveted residential addresses in New York City. The neighbourhood is named for the private park, to which only select homeowners have access via a key.

Mid-year fashion review: Why ‘Newstalgia' is the most personal trend of 2025
Above Saint Laurent autumn 2025 fashion show at Paris Fashion Week The assertive tailoring once synonymous with 'power' and corporate core has shifted towards something more fluid, without losing its edge. The sharpness remains, but it's softened—evident in Bottega Veneta's sculpted but unpadded jackets and The Row's languid blazers that slip over the body like silk robes. At Saint Laurent, the shoulder retains its presence, but is offset by diaphanous sheer blouses or fluid trousers. Oversized blazers still rule, but they've softened, often cinched at the waist or rendered in fluid tailoring that moves with the body. Above Saint Laurent autumn 2025 fashion show at Paris Fashion Week Above Saint Laurent autumn 2025 fashion show at Paris Fashion Week Transparency is everywhere, but this time, it feels deliberate, imbued with nuance rather than provocation. Sheer has evolved from spectacle to subtlety. At Loewe, whisper-fine feathered knits reveal more than warm. Alaïa's gauzy overlays add dimension, not exposure. In climates like Singapore, this airy approach to layering is both stylistic and strategic—less trend, more practicality wrapped in elegance. Above Loewe spring-summer 2025 fashion show at Paris Fashion Week Above Loewe spring-summer 2025 fashion show at Paris Fashion Week Voluminous silhouettes have held steady, but their purpose has shifted. No longer just maximalist statements, they've become more about ease, airiness, and emotion. JW Anderson and Simone Rocha experiment with volume as play—dresses that swing, balloon, or crumple, inviting a tactile connection. Even Saint Laurent's fuller midi skirts feel grounded in functionality, echoing the mid-century with just enough tension to feel current. There's also a richness to the materials: suede in sun-washed hues, fluid silks, featherlight faux furs. Celebrities have already embraced the return of high-glamour opulence (we predicted this back in January), stepping out in gilded accessories and floaty silhouettes that photograph like a dream. Above Saint Laurent autumn 2025 fashion show at Paris Fashion Week Parallel to the rise of Newstalgia is a growing obsession with the archive. No longer just the domain of collectors or fashion historians, archival fashion has found new cachet with consumers seeking pieces that tell a story. Helping to fuel this movement are the celebrities who wield nostalgia with ease. Zendaya in archival Versace, Jenna Ortega reviving John Galliano's Dior newspaper dress worn by Carrie Bradshaw in 2010. Above Jenna Ortega in John Galliano's newspaper Dior dress from the autumn-winter 2000 collection Above Sarah Jessica Parker's character Carrie Bradshaw wears the newspaper Dior dress in 'Sex and the City' (2010) When a red-carpet look references a specific fashion era, it invites viewers to recontextualise their own wardrobes. Suddenly, that old Fendi baguette or a pair of kitten heels from the early noughts feel fresh, rather than a fashion homage. Vintage shopping, once niche, has become integral to luxury consumption, not only for its sustainability but for its uniqueness. In a market saturated with sameness, a rare piece from a past collection feels meaningly and undeniably exclusive. Above Zendaya in vintage Versace autumn-winter 2001 collection Ultimately, what's most compelling about Newstalgia is how personal it feels. Nostalgic fashion trends hinge on how they're styled—it isn't about dressing like your mother (or grandmother); it's about taking the best bits of their wardrobes and making them yours. Looking ahead, this softened approach to nostalgia is unlikely to disappear. If anything, expect designers to lean further into reinterpretation in the upcoming spring-summer 2026 presentations—exploring ways to honour heritage while responding to the urgency of now. Pre-fall previews suggest a continued fascination with volume, along with a refined palette of neutrals and unexpected pastels that feel grounded rather than whimsical. Credits

The T-Wind is blowing: Will Thailand be Asia's next soft power giant?
Above Lalisa Manobal and Tayme Thapthimthong play Mook and Gaitok in the third season of The White Lotus (Image: Max) Soft power, a term conceptualised by the recently deceased American political scientist Joseph Nye, refers to a nation's ability to influence others without the use of force, often by earning influence through positive appeal, and is a critical aspect of diplomacy and international relations. In the 2025 edition of the Global Soft Power Index, Thailand placed 39, recognised for its cultural influence, media appeal and international perceptions of friendliness, hospitality and creativity. Thai cinema's global moment Above The official trailer for 'How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies', which was released locally under the title 'Lahn Mah' The success of A Useful Ghost at Cannes exemplifies Thailand's sophisticated approach to cultural diplomacy through cinema. The film tells the story of a woman who has recently died of a respiratory illness and returns as a useful ghost, possessing a vacuum cleaner to protect her husband not only from dust, which he is allergic to, but from various vengeful ghosts. Described by the jury as a "bold, free and unclassifiable work" that plays with genres whilst offering a vision that's "both intimate and universal," the film demonstrates Thailand's capacity to produce content that resonates across cultural boundaries whilst maintaining its distinct identity. This win added to the success of last year's Thai comedy drama How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies , known in Thai as Lahn Mah and directed by Pat Boonnitipat, which shattered commercial expectations by grossing US$73.8 million worldwide—making it the highest-grossing Thai film globally. The film also progressed to the Academy Awards shortlist, the first submission from Thailand to do so, signalling that Thai storytelling, when authentically exploring universal themes through a distinctly local lens, possesses remarkable global appeal. See also: Lessons from the makers of hit Thai film 'How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies' Above Aoy (Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying) and chef Paul (Nopachai Chaiyanam) in Netflix's 'Hunger' (Photo: Courtesy of Netflix) This dual success—one critically acclaimed, the other commercially triumphant—reveals Thailand's strategic diversification within cinema. Rather than pursuing a single path, Thai filmmakers are simultaneously cultivating both art house credibility and mainstream accessibility, ensuring their cultural exports can reach both discerning film festival circuits and mass global audiences. The accessibility of Thai content through streaming platforms has further amplified this reach. For example, Netflix's Hunger (2023), which introduced international audiences to Thai culinary traditions and cultural nuances, creating what cultural analysts describe as "active soft power"—content that encourages deeper engagement with Thai language, cuisine and customs, is one of the most internationally streamed Thai films. The T-Wind and musical diplomacy Above Jeff Satur (Image: courtesy of Warner Music Asia) While Korean pop music dominates global conversations about Asian music exports, Thailand's T-Pop scene is carving its own distinctive niche. The emergence of what has been termed the 'T-Wind"—Thailand's answer to the Korean Wave—has generated impressive momentum, with the Thai music industry experiencing 20 per cent revenue growth in 2022, surpassing $100 million in wholesale market revenue for the first time. Artists like Jeff Satur, 4Eve, Billkin and Tilly Birds aren't simply emulating established Asian pop formulas. Instead, they're creating a uniquely Thai musical identity that blends traditional Thai elements with contemporary pop, hip-hop and rock. This genre versatility represents a competitive advantage in an increasingly saturated global music market, offering international audiences something genuinely distinctive rather than derivative. Celebrity culture as cultural currency Perhaps nowhere is Thailand's soft power more visibly demonstrated than in the luxury fashion world's enthusiastic embrace of Thai celebrities. Seismic shifts in global brand strategy took place when Bright Vachirawit became Burberry's first global ambassador from the South Asia-Pacific region, and Win Metawin was appointed Prada's first Thai global ambassador. There is now an extensive roster of Thai celebrities representing prestigious luxury houses, including Gulf Kanawut for Gucci, BamBam for Louis Vuitton, Jeff Satur for Valentino and Cartier, Nattawin Wattanagitiphat for Piaget, Blackpink's Lisa for Celine, and Sarocha 'Freen' Chankimha for Valentino. These appointments mark historical firsts for Thai representation within these brands, signifying luxury fashion's recognition of Southeast Asian markets' growing influence and purchasing power. What makes this phenomenon particularly significant is how these celebrities function as complete lifestyle ambassadors rather than simple endorsers. Win Metawin, for instance, operates his own fashion label (streetwear brand Velence) alongside his entertainment career, embodying the entrepreneurial sophistication that luxury brands seek to associate with. This positions Thai celebrities as cultural trendsetters capable of influencing global consumer behaviour and lifestyle aspirations. The impact extends beyond fashion shows and red carpets. These ambassadorships actively promote Thai aesthetics and contemporary style on international stages, serving as potent forms of cultural diplomacy that enhance Thailand's image as a modern, sophisticated cultural force. The Boys' Love (BL) phenomenon Above Suppasit 'Mew' Jongcheveevat and Kanawut 'Gulf' Traipipattanapong in TharnType: The Series (Photo: Instagram / @tharntypeofficial) One of Thailand's most unexpected cultural exports has been the Boys' Love (BL) fictional media genre, which has garnered massive international followings and created entirely new categories of cultural consumption. Manifested in literature, television dramas and films, the genre, which depicts homoerotic relationships between men and is typically created by women for a female audience, has demonstrated Thailand's willingness to explore diverse narratives and represent different communities, contributing to global conversations about representation whilst generating significant economic returns through merchandise, fan events and tourism. BL productions contributed approximately 2 billion baht (USD61 million) in export revenue in 2024, double the previous year. See also: Is the BL genre the next step toward global recognition for Thai literature? Thailand's strategic 5Fs framework Thailand's cultural ascendancy isn't purely organic—it is supported by a comprehensive government strategy centred on the "5Fs" policy: Food, Film, Festivals, Fighting (Muay Thai) and Fashion, demonstrating an understanding that effective soft power requires diverse cultural portfolios rather than reliance on single exports. The establishment of the National Soft Power Strategy Committee, headed by Thailand's Prime Minister, signals the highest level of political commitment to cultural diplomacy. The committee's ambitious goal of generating 4 trillion baht in revenue through creative industries underscores soft power's recognition as a crucial economic driver rather than merely cultural window dressing. Perhaps most significant is the forthcoming Thailand Creative Content Agency (THACCA), operational from 2026, which aims to transform 20 million Thai citizens into skilled creative workers by 2027. This human capital investment represents recognition that sustainable soft power requires continuous development. Learning from Asian soft power success stories Thailand's strategy clearly takes inspiration from established regional models. South Korea's Hallyu Wave demonstrates how deliberate government investment, coordinated agency support and sustained commitment can transform cultural potential into significant economic and diplomatic influence. South Korea's ranked in 12th position in the Global Soft Power Index for 2025 reflecting decades of strategic cultural investment. Similarly, Japan's "Cool Japan" strategy illustrates how cultural exports can be strategically adapted for global consumption through "glocalisation"—maintaining distinct cultural identity whilst ensuring universal accessibility. Japan's animation industry generated record overseas profits of 1.72 trillion yen in 2023, demonstrating the economic potential of well-executed cultural diplomacy. Japan ranked 4th in this year's Global Soft Power Index, behind the US, China and the UK. Thailand's approach appears to take lessons from both models: maintaining authentic Thai identity whilst ensuring content resonates globally, and combining government support with market-driven innovation. Persistent challenges Despite impressive progress, Thailand faces challenges in sustaining its cultural momentum. Intense competition from established players like South Korea and Japan requires continuous innovation and strategic differentiation, and political stability remains crucial for maintaining investor confidence and regulatory predictability—factors essential for long-term creative industry growth. Additionally, Thailand's global image is still heavily shaped by a narrow bandwidth of representation. Male stars dominate luxury ambassadorships, and much of the international fandom around Thai content centres on curated ideals of male beauty and queer-coded narratives. Meanwhile, female artists and creators often struggle for equivalent global visibility—a dynamic that suggests the next phase of Thailand's soft power evolution must grapple more directly with gender equity in its cultural exports. A cultural powerhouse in the making Thailand's transformation from tourism-dependent nation to multifaceted cultural exporter represents one of Asia's most compelling soft power success stories. And the evidence suggests that this is just the beginning. Thailand is no longer simply inviting the world to visit—it's inviting the world to feel, watch, wear and hear it. Yet, the true test will be sustainability. Can Thailand nurture its creative sector beyond current trends? Will it make room for stories from all corners of its society—not just the ones easiest to export? The answers will determine whether this moment becomes a movement, and whether Thailand's cultural ascent reshapes not just perception, but power.
