Fans react to bonkers And Just Like That detail: ‘Unhinged'
Now that's a real statement-maker. A year after Sarah Jessica Parker gave fans a preview of her character Carrie Bradshaw's divisive wardrobe in season three of And Just Like That, and the episode containing the offending hat finally aired on May 29. The topper in question — a voluminous, floppy gingham look from Maryam Keyhani (A$797) — has been described as 'unhinged' and akin to the shape of Strawberry Shortcake's signature pink style, reports Page Six. In a scene strolling around Washington Square Park in New York City with co-star Sarita Choudhury, Parker wore the outlandish piece with a colourful vintage '70s tiered Ossie Clark dress and Dr. Scholl's wooden slides. 'I saw the hat and wanted it on my head,' Parker told US Weekly in a video interview yesterday. 'We pretty much just put stuff on my head and photograph it, and hope that Michael Patrick [King] is hospitable to the idea,' she added, referring to the show's creator. The actress, 60, added that the aforementioned frock reminded her of Neapolitan ice cream. 'It felt incomplete, as dresses often do once you've put a lot of hats on your head, you feel like it's missing its punctuation point,' Parker, whose character is known for her quirky headwear collection, explained. Apparently, King was supportive of the billowy hat. 'I feel we've really worn him down,' Parker said. 'His eyes have adapted to large-scale things on heads now, so he's pretty generous about how often they can appear.' But, of course, fans of the HBO show weren't as supportive of SJP's choice of headwear. 'Carrie Bradshaw in a stupid hat we are so back,' one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another said, 'I can get behind the wildest of Carrie's fashion choices but this duvet cover of a hat is truly unhinged.' 'Now Carrie, what the helly is this hat?' a third jokingly questioned. Others, however, didn't hate the look. 'this hat is amazing. I hope everyone gets one this summer,' another user posted. It's safe to assume Carrie will deliver many more controversial fashion moments this season.

And Just Like That season three review – finally! The Sex and the City spin off hits its stride
It all fell into place for me around the shoe montage. Roughly halfway through the third season of And Just Like That, there is an on-screen procession of footwear, strident and unapologetically far too long. Carrie has been accused by her downstairs neighbour of walking too loudly on the floor above his bed. A parade of sandals, boots and mules strut back and forth across a polished and expensive wooden floor. I watched this march of the stilettos and began to suspect that the storyline had been retrofitted to the idea of simply showing off the shoes. And I realised that, even if that is the case, I don't mind at all, because And Just Like That has found its feet. It took a while for it to get there, but finally, the Sex and the City spin-off feels comfortable in its own skin. If the first two seasons were fondly received but sometimes excruciating exercises in attempting to squeeze its characters into the modern age, then this feels like a loosening of the belt. The leads are no longer trying to be anything other than themselves: absurdly rich New Yorkers in their 50s, troubled mostly by the burdens of making sure they spend enough time with their friends. Life's primary emotional entanglements – love, work, family – are present, sure, but they hum away lightly, like ambient noise, any sharp corners dulled by vast riches. Having sold her single-girl apartment, Carrie is now living in a sparsely furnished, absolutely massive Gramercy Park townhouse. She is still with Aidan, though he remains in Virginia, taking care of his troubled teenage son. It is a long distance relationship, with the emphasis on distance. Charlotte is still a happily married mother of two teenagers, with a successful art-dealing business, though early in the season, her dog gets cancelled. Lisa is trying to get her documentary about pioneering Black women off the ground, but the stress of it means she is sleep-talking, so her husband, Herbert, has to move to the spare room. Seema, the not entirely convincing Samantha replacement, is trying to assert her worth in the workplace. Miranda is dating again, and looking for an apartment, and is a human rights lawyer, very much in that order of importance. You make a choice, with And Just Like That, of how to consume it. You can look at it and see its Nero-like qualities, stark and vivid. You could accuse its fluorescent fairytales of fiddling while Trump's America burns. Much of Carrie's ennui comes from whether or not she will buy a dining table that costs almost $7,000, so that she can begin to fill her still-empty mansion. The show scoffs at tourists in New York, rural life, the countryside, items of clothing that cost less than an average month's rent. Yet I find myself sinking into And Just Like That as if it is made of marshmallows and air. It is funny, warm, and self-aware enough to just about get away with it. Miranda's ex, Che, has departed from the women's lives and in the six episodes released to critics, they aren't mentioned at all. Che was And Just Like That trying too hard, and in their absence, there is a sense that it has stopped putting on a front. Now, it has a kind of gauzy acceptance that these women are fully ensconced in the rarefied world of Manhattan's wealthy, middle-aged elite. The hardest they have to try is when endlessly discussing what emojis in text messages are really meant to say. It should be unbearable. But the show's devotion to the fantasy of dedicated, lifelong, rock-solid friendship is what gives it a heart, and in turn, that gives its more egregious vulgarities a free pass. Most Sex and the City fans have been following the lives of Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda since 1998, and there is a specific comfort in seeing them (without Samantha, of course) operating as a unit, 27 years later. Every episode rolls on, as each minor drama softly bumps into another minor drama, with stakes so low that you have to crouch to see them. It is all so steady, so frictionless, as smooth as the foreheads of the Upper East Side. I have no idea if it is good or not. I truly, genuinely, don't know. It remains filled with Samantha-esque quips and puns that, like the shoe montage, appear to have been worked backwards, as if the gags come first, and the plots are created to fit them. But if there was a reluctant fondness that came when watching the first two seasons, then that fondness now appears much more readily. Their concerns are so gentle, their worries so slight, that to watch it is to be lulled into a state of easy comfort. The stilettos march on, as they always did. And Just Like That season three aired on Sky Comedy and is available on NOW.

As a Gen Zer, I Was Seated for Carrie Bradshaw's Return—and Then I Watched
Love her or loathe her, Carrie Bradshaw knows how to make an entrance. Sarah Jessica Parker stutters back onto our screens for the latest series of And Just Like That... sporting a princess-like, nude sheer Simone Rocha dress, roses stuffed into her pockets, paired with a matching jacket, as she signs off a blank postcard to Aidan. Surprisingly, for a writer, she omits all words—just a heart scribbled at the bottom. Why? Because they have agreed to five years (yes, years!) of no-contact as Aidan resides in Virginia to raise his troubled son, who got into a drink-driving incident. This is very on-brand for the healthiest couple of all time, who reunited in season 2 of AJLT after a lifetime of emotional turbulence due to Carrie's infidelity and a called-off engagement in the original show Sex And The City. For them, "no contact" means exchanging blank post-cards, with a smattering of awkward phone sex. Who said romance was dead? Viewers of Sex And The City have routinely called out Carrie's shortcomings as a flawed protagonist, turning her into a meme on social media, along the lines of: "Every time I do something embarrassing for a man, I just tell myself Carrie Bradshaw would have done worse and carry on," which @werehavingfun shared on TikTok, referencing the infamous "get it while it's hot scene" when she showed up in a beret and brought pizza to impress Big. There is even a subreddit dedicated to her cringiest lines. As Sex And The City has resurfaced in cultural relevance thanks to its availability on HBO's streaming platform, a new wave of Gen Z viewers has discovered the hit '90s show—and they've had thoughts. Many have been quick to call out the series' outdated plotlines, from transphobic jokes to problematic tropes that haven't aged well. One moment that's gone down in history for peak self-obsession is when Carrie compared her dating troubles to the conflict in Northern Ireland. I first became acquainted with Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte while self-isolating at my parents' house in 2022 after testing positive for COVID. What began as respite from my solitude quickly turned into full-blown obsession. I was struck by the show's raw and honest depiction of modern dating and female friendship. Despite first airing before I was born, and set in a city and culture a world away from my own, it felt wildly relatable. I've even joked with friends that if I ever have daughters, SATC will be required viewing—my equivalent to a prescribed religious text. My sister, also a Gen Z and an avid rewatcher, never fails to be incensed by Carrie's behavior, from guilt-tripping her friend into offering financial help to chasing the wife of the man she's having an affair with out of their apartment and down a flight of stairs. My sister will yell at the screen: "She is such an idiot!" And sure, Carrie made a lot of questionable choices, but that's part of the appeal. Her flaws are what made her compelling—and column-worthy. PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 29: Sarah Jessica Parker attends the "And Just Like That…" Season Three Photocall at Hotel Napoleon on May 29, 2025 in Paris, France. PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 29: Sarah Jessica Parker attends the "And Just Like That…" Season Three Photocall at Hotel Napoleon on May 29, 2025 in Paris, France. Marc Piasecki / Contributor/WireImage But with the dawn of the new series, the drama she's known—and loved (by me, anyway) — for is missing. We spent seasons watching her entangled in Mr. Big's stronghold, witnessing the explosions of her self-destructive patterns as she chased and chased and chased a man who was never good for her. Cut to now: she's still chasing unavailable men, but it feels less relatable than ever. I'm part of a generation of women trying to shift our focus away from men entirely. There's a global 4B movement encouraging women to go celibate in protest against shrinking rights and persistent misogyny. And while Gen Zers may be leading the discourse, it appears this frame of mind transcends generations—In the U.S., by 2023, more women than ever were single: 52 percent, according to Wells Fargo Economics. Carrie has always been a symbol of liberation in some ways: she defied social norms, never wanted children, wrote a sex-positive column, and starred in a franchise that encouraged women across generations to speak candidly about once-taboo topics. One might think that Carrie would have been allowed to evolve with us, but instead, her universe seems stuck in the past. While the original show was at least self-aware about its protagonists' obsession with men (in Miranda's words, "How does it happen that four smart women have nothing to talk about but boyfriends?") in 2025 he only person who is calling her out for her naivety is Anthony, who she ends up fighting with for calling out her choice. What AJLT does get right is redefining what life can look like for women in their 50s in a way that feels aspirational. Miranda is deep in her queer awakening, Carrie is exploring phone sex (even if it's extremely uncomfortable to watch), and Seema is embracing dating later in life. But personally, I'd much rather watch Carrie embark on a solo journey of glamorous, cosmopolitan-fuelled self-discovery. I will continue to watch as the season pans out, I just hope for Carrie to learn from her younger counterparts and shift her focus away from finding fulfilment in romantic love. It would be terribly predictable for her plotline to be reduced to waiting for Aidan. Here's to hoping Charlotte's Gen Z children will end up schooling her on the joys of being alone—straight from their TikTok algorithm.
