The actress, 60, who plays Carrie Bradshaw in the Sex And The City spin-off, wore a white shirt dress for the event. Complete with puffed sleeves and a Victorian style collar, her dress was finished off with a tiered lace skirt.

In an interview this week, Sarah revealed Mr. Big's death on And Just Like That was 'really hard' for her to film. The actress addressed the shocking moment in the show where Carrie's husband Mr. Big (Chris Noth) died of a heart attack after working out on his Pelaton bike. Mr. Big had been a staple character of Sex And The City and Carrie's main love interest so it was a risk for writers to kill him off. Speaking on The E! News Sitdown with Bruce Bozzi, Sarah gave her thoughts on the storyline. She said: 'Big dying was really, really hard to do both professionally and personally. That's not just a thread. It's one of the main arteries that you would struggle to do without.' 'It was really sad to say goodbye to that. It's not like I needed it for my own health or wellbeing. But that was a hugely wonderful story to tell for a lot of years.' Although Sarah does agree with some of the online 'objections' over how Carrie and Big ended up together, she still admires the couple's relationship. 'All of it was a mess, and all of it was wonderful,' she said. 'It was romantic, and it was a disaster. It was destructive, and it was healthy. It just felt really untethered. It was really sad to say goodbye to that.' Sarah teamed her look with a pair of heels, a studded leather clutch bag and pulled her hair back into a sleek low ponytail Since Big's death, Carrie has rekindled her romance with old flame Aidan Shaw (John Corbett) who she was involved with in seasons three and four of Sex And The City. Chris Noth had his career upended in 2021 when he faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, which he has since staunchly denied. The 70-year-old has confessed that he 'strayed on my wife,' which was 'devastating to her,' but added: 'What it isn't, is a crime.' Last year, he firmly denied multiple allegation allegations of sexual misconduct in his first interview about the charges that infamously put his career on hold. Chris, who has insisted he is still close to his former Sex and the City co-stars, told USA Today that any encounters he has had outside his marriage were consensual. 'I strayed on my wife, and it's devastating to her and not a very pretty picture,' he told the outlet. 'What it isn't, is a crime.' The former Law and Order star has been married to his wife, Tara Wilson, 45, since 2012. The couple were together for 10 years before tying the knot and are parents to two children - Orion, 16, and Keats, four. Noth said he has spoken to his teenager about the situation.

The couple were together for 10 years before tying the knot and are parents to two children - Orion, 16, and Keats, four. Noth said he has spoken to his teenager about the situation. The SAG nominee admitted his infidelity saying, 'You give yourself the same excuses that many men do; it's just a little side dance, and it's fun. He said he justified by telling himself, 'You're not hurting anybody. No one's going to know about this, you know, and sex is just enjoyable.' 'And suddenly, a lot of people want to have sex with you. It's like, 'Well, I'm not going to get this chance again.'' Four women have told very different stories about their experiences with the Sex and the City star. In Dec. 2021, just weeks after his character was killed off on the in the SATC spin-off And Just Like That, two women went public with their allegations of sexual misconduct. One claimed he raped her in 2015 after she met the actor while working as a server at a nightclub. The second told The Hollywood Reporter Noth raped her in 2004. The actor's rep called the allegations 'categorically false.' A third woman came forward shortly after the THR article, and told The Daily Beast she had been assaulted by the Gone actor when she was 18 and working at a restaurant in New York. Noth denied those allegations, along with the claims of a fourth woman who also accused him of misconduct. Noth's character, Big,' was killed off in the first episode of the Sex and the City spinoff And Just Like That, a move that was planned as part of the plotline. The veteran star was fired from his job on the CBS drama The Equalizer shortly after the allegations were made public. Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis issued a joint statement saying, 'We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences. We know it must be a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it.' No criminal charges have been filed yet. New York does not have a statute of limitations on rape. The actor hinted the women who accused him may have a financial motive. 'That's a money train for a lot of people,' he said. No lawsuits against the Manhunt actor have been filed. 'There's nothing I can say to change anyone's mind when you have that kind of a tidal wave,' he claimed. 'It sounds defensive. I'm not. There's no criminal court. There's no criminal trial. There's nothing for me to get on the stand about and get my story out, get witnesses.' The Good Wife actor had at the time been directing and performing at a theater in Massachusetts. He was working for Samuelsohn, a suit company launching a campaign to raise awareness about men's mental health when he spoke with the reporter from USA Today. 'I'm an actor,' he stated. 'I have other things that I want to do creatively. And I have children to support. I can't just rest on my laurels,' he said of his limited opportunities. 'I have enough to let a year drift, but I don't know how to gauge or judge getting back into the club, the business, because corporations are frightened.' 'Fear is the overriding operative word when it comes to whether they believe it or not,' he explained.

Lisa Millar: ‘Most people give up their teenage crushes. I have not given up on Barry Manilow'
What is the strangest story or assignment you've ever been sent on as a journalist? About 30 years ago I was sent to film butterflies mating in far north Queensland. It was at this butterfly sanctuary where they had these exotic butterflies and they were trying to increase their numbers. I am not the most petite, graceful person, so I kept thinking, 'I'm going to stand on a butterfly and decrease their numbers before they've even had time to have sex.' It was very stressful. I think all butterflies made it out alive. What's been your most cringeworthy run-in with a celebrity? Chris Noth at the 2006 Logies. The night was already memorable because it was my first Logies. When I got out of the car there were all these photographers and camera people, and crowds of people screaming and clapping. I thought, wow, this is super intense. Then this photographer dropped down on his knees in front of me and said, 'Get out of the way, you nobody!' And the Home and Away cast were behind me! All the photographers were trying to get photos of them and thinking, 'Who is this freaking lame chick? We don't want her!' Anyway, Chris Noth was there. This was before there were clouds over his reputation. I thought he was pretty gorgeous, so I went up to talk to him and got pretty well brushed aside. I don't know that I'm his type! You have worked on all three seasons of Muster Dogs. Have you got a favourite pup? I actually revealed in another interview that the pup I felt closest to was – drum roll – Molly, the border collie from Tasmania in season two. All the other participants sent me text messages along the lines of 'Traitor!!' and 'How dare you!!' I'm pretty sure they were only joking. I hope they were only joking. I've been so careful not to have favourites. But I probably have had more time with Molly, and she's quite gentle with me. I feel that if I was left alone in a room with Molly, we would both deal with it. I think the other dogs would go, 'Who is this impostor? Who is this city chick? Get her out of here.' What is the best piece of advice you've ever received? The one I rely on quite often is something my dad once said: do not let other people determine what sort of person you're going to be. So if someone else is giving off angry vibes or whatever it might be, do not mirror that behaviour. Set and keep your own standards about who you want to be. I try to abide by that advice. Sometimes there are occasions that it does not work! What are you secretly really good at? I'm secretly good at being really determined. If someone says something is too hard or impossible, I will do it. I was once challenged to do an Olympic-distance triathlon, and I didn't know how to swim. But I learned how to swim and I did it! I swam 1.5km, ran 10km and rode a bike for 40km. Anything is achievable. I used to have a terrible fear of flying, but when you get over a fear, you feel like you're invincible. My friend Leigh Sales has said it's the one thing that she thinks is quite remarkable about me. Well, hopefully not the only thing. Which book, album or film do you always return to, and why? I don't ever return to books or film, because I love things so much that I don't want to spoil them with a second encounter. And if I read a book, I don't ever see the film adaptation, and vice versa. I know that drives people bonkers, but that is how I've always been. But this rule does not apply to musicals. I've seen Hamilton eight times in three different counties, and I still cry at the ending every single time. What's the oldest thing you own, and why do you still have it? My childhood stamp collection. Who collects stamps these days? I've been Googling to work out whether they are worth anything. Some of them are from my grandma, who travelled the world and picked up first-edition stamps for me. But I am 55 years old. I think it is time to not have a stamp collection any more. I did find a pristine $10 Bicentennial note, which was one of the first polymer notes. It is still in the plastic sleeve it came in in 1988. I'm going to flog it! What song would you like to be played at your funeral? I hope it hasn't been written yet, because it'll be so far away! Something that makes me want to stand up and dance. I love Wake Me Up by Avicii – now, I don't want to be woken up by some weird chemical inducement during my funeral, unless they've also been able to take me back 40 years – but it has such a happy vibe and the sense of a life well lived. What's your most controversial pop culture opinion? Barry Manilow was actually a great artist. History is going to look kindly on Barry Manilow, and on his song Weekend in New England. Barry Manilow was my teenage crush. Most people give up their teenage crushes. I have not given up on Barry and me. Do you have a party trick? Yes I do, and it is really bad. A friend showed it to me eight years ago, and I'm addicted to doing it. I don't even know how you're going to put this into words. You know how ginger beer bottles have a little tab that you pull off to open it up? A friend of mine told me that the tab could be used for duck calling – so if you twist them a certain way and speak into it, it changes the way your voice sounds and you can call ducks. So he bent it and held it to his mouth and said, 'Calling all ducks, calling all ducks!' I was utterly sucked in. Every time I have a ginger beer, I pull the tab off and say, 'Do you know this is really good for duck calling?' And people go, 'Shut up, we've heard it.' I think I need to find a new audience. Or a new joke. Muster Dogs season three airs at 7.30pm on Sundays on ABC TV and ABC iview
