For summer outfit inspiration, check out 'And Just Like That'
'Yes,' I exclaimed, sitting bolt upright in bed, startling my husband as an image of Sarah Jessica Parker (SJP) wearing a midnight blue, long-sleeved gown appeared on my feed last week. (I am fully cognisant that pre-sleep scrolling is a terrible idea, but fashion has callous disregard for circadian rhythms.) Obviously, Vivienne Westwood, not obviously this season, the dress in question turns out to be a vintage piece once owned by the late designer herself and now worn by SJP to the premiere of And Just Like That… Season 3. Streaming this weekend on OSN+, the third instalment of the Sex and the City (SATC) spinoff is set to bring a much-needed jolt of life to my style mojo this summer. Is it just me, or has all that greige, oversized suiting we've been exposed to for so long gotten a bit, well, greige? I am old enough to remember the time that Prada did grey in the late '90s and the entire high street followed suit; Marks & Spencer looked like its school uniform department had overrun the entire store. After a few seasons of ubiquitous restrained V-neck woollen sweaters, it's no wonder sense went out of the window and brightly coloured, bedazzled Juicy Couture tracksuits came rushing in. Since then, fashion has done its cyclical thing; sometimes OTT and shouty, sometimes restrained and whispering. In the 2010s, the birth of Instagram inevitably went hand-in-iPhone-clutching-hand with the kind of exuberant street style best exemplified by then Italian Vogue fashion editor Anna Dello Russo (ADR). Peacocking became an actual job – influencing – and no one did it like ADR. Not since Carrie Bradshaw had completely bonkers style choices been so celebrated. By this decade, macro trends – minimal, maximal, and everything in-between – have been rendered obsolete by the takeover of the algorithm, which feeds us increasing amounts of what we already like (in my case, Taylor Swift). But that hasn't stopped a pervasive desaturation of fun in pursuit of cool from dampening the fashion outlook. Even ADR has hung up her Dolce & Gabbana cherry hat for a life of meditation and yoga. Thank the fashion deities then, for SJP and her alter ego, Carrie, showing us that we can still find joy in fashion, that smiling is allowed, and that bow-adorned hot pink shoes are never a bad idea. Even in a rat-infested New York summer. We are now two decades on from the conclusion of SATC. Parker turned 60 this year, and I am delighted that she refuses to let the advancement of time dull her style sparkle. That medieval corseted navy Westwood dress was inspired; nodding as it does to Bradshaw's iconic wedding gown, which the character re-wore to the Met Gala in Season 2 of And Just Like That… Personal style doesn't have an expiry date. Neither should it have rules. One day we can be Carrie in layers of tulle, the next we can be Miuccia in a minimalist Prada re-edition from the 2000s. I have to confess my own inclinations tend to fall on the Carrie side of the fence. In a fashion-off between saccharine-shaded lashings of tulle and androgynous griege suiting, 99 per cent of the time I'll side with the tulle. There's something so life-affirming about going full Patricia Field, whose original costumes for SATC were as much a cast member as Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, Charlotte and, of course, NYC herself. So yes, I'll be tuning in for the fashion this weekend, just as much as the narrative thread that as Elie Habib, CEO of OSN+ & Anghami, says, 'Not only celebrate timeless friendships that transcend cultures, especially in our part of the world where close-knit social and family ties are deeply valued, but also reflect the evolving journeys we all experience, beyond the bounds of age.'

Sarah Jessica Parker Says She's Raising Her Kids to Support Themselves 'Emotionally' and 'Financially'
Sarah Jessica Parker Says She's Raising Her Kids to Support Themselves 'Emotionally' and 'Financially' originally appeared on WeHaveKids. Mama knows best, and Sarah Jessica Parker isn't afraid to let her kids know this when it comes to their career ambitions. That's likely because at least one of her three children has their eyes set on a career in the television and movie industry. But, SJP has some wise words for them before they get started, and honestly this is great advice for any parent to give their child. Related: Michelle Obama Celebrates An Adorable First With Daughter Malia The mother of three sat down with E! News as part of the Sitddown with Bruce Bozzi, where she shared the advice she had given her and Matthew Roderick's oldest child, James Wilkie as he embarked on an acting career of his own. 'I really want my children to be educated in the ways that are fulfilling to them,' she said. 'I don't think that there is one way to be an educated person or to be equipped to be an adult and try to fashion a life for yourself after what would be considered 'finishing college'—let's say 22 years old.' Instead, she said that she wanted them to be more focused on things they find appealing. 'You want for them to be pursuing things that are exciting and challenging and hard and gratifying and to be able to ultimately take care of themselves, support themselves — emotionally, financially, and that they can be in the world and be a reliable person to themselves and to other people," she continued, adding that this was the way that she and Broderick framed work when they discussed it at home. And, they must be discussing it a lot lately, considering Wilkie and Broderick just starred together in an episode of CBS's series Elsbeth. Well, with the apple not falling far from the family tree, we're sure that Wilkie and his two sisters will likely have fulfilling lives and careers, no matter what job opportunities they pursue. Although, it really does seem like Wilkie at least will be destined for his own Hollywood future. Up Next:Sarah Jessica Parker Says She's Raising Her Kids to Support Themselves 'Emotionally' and 'Financially' first appeared on WeHaveKids on May 29, 2025 This story was originally reported by WeHaveKids on May 29, 2025, where it first appeared.

Why Isn't Samantha on ‘And Just like That'?
Sex and the City's revival, And Just Like That…, starts season 3 tonight, which means that you're probably still wondering where Samantha is. As anyone with a fledgling interest in Sex and the City knows, Kim Cattrall has only been in one epsiode of And Just Like That…, and while fans might be dying for her to return, she does not appear in the new season (that we know). Here's how the show has explained her absence in the first two seasons. And Just Like That... season 1 explains that Samantha moved to London after a fight with Carrie. We discover this almost immediately when Bitsy von Muffling asks Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte where Samantha is, and it's revealed she's living in the UK. Later in the episode, Miranda notes, 'You know, it is kind of like she's dead, Samantha. We never even talk about her,' to which Carrie replies, 'Well, what is there to say? I told her that because of, you know, what the book business is now, it just didn't make sense for me to keep her on as a publicist. She said 'fine' and then fired me as a friend.' Carrie says Samantha stopped returning her calls and voicemails (actually, she hasn't been in touch with anybody), saying, 'Look, I understand that she was upset, but I thought I was more to her than an ATM.' Samantha is brought up again in season 1 episode 2—after the sudden death of Mr. Big. At the funeral, Carrie sees that she's been sent flowers with a note simply saying, 'Love, Samantha.' Throughout the season, they then exchange a few texts that make it seem like they're on their way to a reconciliation. It's like Carrie is sending little olive branches via iMessage and hoping Samantha responds. In the season 1 finale, there's a resolution of sorts. Carrie goes to Paris to spread Big's ashes from 'their' bridge. Because Carrie is in Paris (which is obviously not far from London), she texts Samantha and asks if she wants to get a drink. Samantha responds and says, 'How about tomorrow?' So even though Kim herself didn't show up during the entire season, the fictional Carrie and Samantha seem to have reconciled. Then, in the season 2 finale, we get a true cameo with Kim. She and SJP's character Carrie share a phone call (which they filmed separately). Samantha says that she wanted to make it to Carrie's "Last Supper" dinner in her Upper East Side apartment, but because of bad weather, she couldn't get out of Heathrow. It's a very sweet moment that fans got very emotional about, even if the two women weren't actually in the same room. It was nice to see Kim in character as Samantha again. As of now, there are no other appearances scheduled for Kim. That seems to be the last scene she wanted to shoot, as a way of saying goodbye to character. But we'll see how the season shakes out.

'And Just Like That…' Season 3 Is Finally Here—Here's When to Watch
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. And Just Like That…, Max's Sex and the City revival, is back for its third season, which means Carrie Bradshaw and her Manolos are back on the streets of Manhattan. According to showrunner Michael Patrick King, season 3 is all about 'surrendering to what life throws at you,' especially for Carrie. After Aidan suggested a five-year pause in their rekindled relationship, Carrie is now asking herself what she really wants. The season promises to continue exploring dating, aging, and friendship, but with fewer characters in the mix (farewell, Che and Nya) and a sharper focus on the five central women: Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Krisin Davis), Lisa (Nicole Ari Parker), and Seema (Sarita Choudhury). There's also a fresh wave of guest stars and, perhaps most importantly, the return of Carrie's iconic voiceover narration. In an Entertainment Tonight video interview, the cast described the new season as 'juicy' (Jessica Parker), 'hot' (Ari Parker), and 'sweaty' (Choudhury). SJP added on Live With Kelly and Mark that it was 'a very big, lush, juicy, wonderfully complicated season.' Whether you're tuning in for the plot, the fashion, or the pure nostalgia, one thing's for sure: And Just Like That… still knows how to start the conversation. Here's everything you need to know to watch the upcoming season. This season will feature 12 episodes, the most in the reboot's history. (Season 1 had 10 episodes, while season 2 had 11.) Each installment runs close to an hour, making it the most content-rich chapter of the revival to date. New episodes will premiere weekly on Thursdays at 9 P.M. E.T. / 6 P.M. P.T. on Max, beginning May 29 and continuing through August 14. Check out the full episode rollout below: Watch And Just Like That... on Max

'But maybe one day they'll find a way to watch it and be comfortable with what they see. I mean there's nothing I do that I think is terribly shocking, but it's a very different way of seeing a parent.'

All three actresses returned for the 2021, but Kim declined to return to the show. The third series premieres on May 29.
