And Just Like That brings back Carrie's iconic necklace - you can shop your own
In the Sex and the City universe, fashion was just as important as relationships, especially for main character Carrie Bradshaw. From a wildly impractical pair of Manolo Blahnik or Jimmy Choo heels, to her showstopping Vivienne Westwood wedding dress in the films, SATC gave us some major fashion moments.
But there was one piece that became just as iconic, worn on repeat by Sarah Jessica Parker throughout the series and into the new And Just Like That spinoffs – her Carrie necklace. The nameplate necklace was so important, in fact, it helped her find herself (and Big) at the end of the SATC TV series.
Never ones to let a pivotal fashion moment die out, And Just Like That brought back the necklace for a cameo in the second season, and we're hoping it'll make another reappearance in the new third series which just landed on our screens. If you're anything like us and have coveted most of Carrie's wardrobe since the show first aired, you'll no doubt want a nameplate necklace of your own, so we found some of the best ones to shop.
Abbott Lyon's Carrie Name Necklace – £85
The very aptly named Carrie necklace from Abbott Lyon is a great choice, with a classic italic script-style writing that mirrors Carrie's exact one. It also comes in 18k gold, silver and rose gold plated options with a choice of three different chain lengths to pick from. You can personalise it with up to 12 characters, and you have the option of adding extras like a birthstone pendant or an extra half chain for a layered look.
PRYA's Siena Personalised Name Necklace – was £56, now £42
Coming in a choice of 18k gold plated, 14k rose gold plated and silver plated, this also has a choice of three chain lengths and you can also choose your chain style from chunkier Cuban links to dainty classic chains. You can input the name of your choice, which is case sensitive, and gives you a sneak peek at what each letter looks like.
If you want to switch up the font style, this name necklace from Potiega on Not on the High Street gives you plenty of creative freedom. You can choose from six different fonts including scripts and old English, and there's sterling silver, 18k gold and rose gold plated finishes to choose from. There's also different chain lengths, and you can use up to 10 characters for your personalisation.
Posh Totty Personalised Name Necklace – £85
For a slightly softer and chunkier look, Posh Totty's personalised name necklace is a great choice. The font has a thicker, more rounded look to the other versions, and can be fully personalised with up to 10 characters. As with the others you can pick from sterling silver, or 18kt gold or rose gold plated, although the latter two will add £10 to the price.

Sex and the City star reveals she was 'groped by an older man' while filming
A Sex and the City star has revealed the moment she was 'groped by an older man' during filming. Kristin Davis, 60, played Charlotte York in the HBO romantic comedy, starring alongside Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, and Cynthia Nixon, from its debut in 1998 until its finale in 2004. Since then, she has gone on to reprise her role in two films, as well as the revival of the show And Just Like That in 2021, which recently left fans 'completely traumatised' over a bizarre phone sex scene. However, while speaking on her podcast, Are You a Charlotte?, the 60-year-old actress recalled a 'humiliating' experience when her scene partner 'grabbed her a**' during the filming of season two's episode The Chicken Dance. The 1999 episode shows Miranda Hobbes' friend Jeremy Fields (Stephen Barker Turner) visiting from London, who falls in love with her interior designer (Carrie Preston). The four friends are later seen attending the couple's wedding after their whirlwind romance. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Davis' character Charlotte then meets a man named Martin Healy (Mike Dooly) at the wedding. After he asks her to meet his parents, she agrees, but when she ends up dancing with the father the director of the episode Victoria Hochberg reportedly was 'yelling' at the actor to grope Davis. Discussing the moment, she said: 'My point of view is that number one, I have to dance with this older man who is going to feel my butt, which I'm mortified about. Okay. Number two, everyone is beyond exhausted.' She went on to say how she felt like the director had a 'bullhorn' as she yelled: 'Hard, harder, bigger, grab her a**, grab her a**.' 'I'm just like, 'God, the humiliation factor is so high,' and there's like a close-up of him grabbing my butt.' She went on to say how she showed her 'real mad face', adding: 'If you watch the show and the movies, you know my real mad face. 'I am mad because I'm mad that I had to do it. You know, I'm mad that this man grabbed my butt. It's like mortifying, you know.' This comes after Davis recently revealed that she was pressured into a topless scene while filming Sex and the City. Recalling filming a scene during season 5 where she 'flashed my boob', Kristin accused showrunner Michael Patrick King, now 70, of not giving her a choice in the matter. 'I didn't want to do it. Michael Patrick forced me to do it. And he kept telling me like 'it'll be fine, it'll be great,'' she said on another episode of her podcast. More Trending 'And it is. But we were in a restaurant. There were people everywhere.' Speaking with Jenny Bicks, a writer on the show, Kristin admitted the story was 'not going to sound good' when the episode was released. However, she added her former boss 'knows' about her feelings. View More » Sex and the City is streaming on Now. Got a story?

Does the Devil still wear Prada?
It takes a lot to get New Yorkers excited, but a lot is what they are getting. The city's streets are being used to shoot the sequel, out next year, to perhaps the best film about fashion ever made, The Devil Wears Prada, and the stars — from Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly to Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, by way of Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt — are back almost 20 years later, giving it their best front row. Sightings so far have included Priestly, the soi-disant devil herself, looking her signature mix of chic and terrifying in assorted variations on the theme of soft tailoring, her attitude anything but soft, plus Sachs in … well, read on for my thoughts on her get-ups. The editrice of Runway may be on the back foot. (Rumour has it that the plot hinges on her having to secure advertising dosh from one Emily Charlton, Blunt's once-eschewed character, now working at a posh label, to save her magazine.) Yet Priestly is, needless to say, still dressing the part. • Devil Wears Prada 2 cast start filming and New Yorkers catch a glimpse Something has shifted, however. What Priestly wore the first time around, when the original film came out in 2006, signalled nothing but her dominance. This time, for those within the industry at least, it reads slightly differently. To look so very, very smart, so very, very corporate, is to come across as a tad out of touch — a tad (whisper it) over the hill. That Priestly hasn't switched up her look would suggest she hasn't switched up other things and, during an epoch of seismic change in fashion and — arguably even more so — the media, this is not the best signalling. Funnily enough, the individual upon whom Priestly is modelled, Anna Wintour, 75, also continues to wear what she has worn for decades. In her case it's a Prada (yep) fit and flare print dress, Manolo Blahnik nude heels and a Borgia's worth of jewels at her neck. Oh, and those shades, of course. Last month it was announced that she is stepping back as editor-in-chief of American Vogue after 37 years but will continue as Vogue's global editorial director and chief content officer for its parent company, Condé Nast. There is nothing about either woman's person to suggest that they are aware of the revolution in the way people dress, in which streetwear-inflected casual — fuelled by, incongruously, the Silicon Valley bros on the one hand and the hip-hopification of the world on the other — has become king. There is nothing about their looks that signals a youthful attitude, flexibility or that they might be up for listening as well as talking. They come across as (forgive me) uptight. That many real-world women would still love to look like this is, in fashion land, beside the point. When it comes to Andy Sachs, in contrast, the costume designer Molly Rogers — who worked under the legendary Patricia Field on the first film and, prior to that, on the original Sex and the City television series — has definitely moved things along. Rogers had to, of course, given that the transformation of Sachs from fashion numpty to quintessence was the Pygmalion narrative at the heart of the original Devil Wears Prada. It was based on the 2003 book by Lauren Weisberger, which was in turn inspired by her time working as one (yes, one) of Wintour's assistants. Sachs is seen wearing denim (blue and white; jeans, jumpsuit and skirt), once verboten on the front row, now ubiquitous. She is seen code-switching, pairing what would once have been a humble white tee but definitely isn't any more (hers is from the ultra spenny Phoebe Philo) with statement jewellery, or sporting the kind of sandals that once meant you had bunions but now come stamped with the double-C of Chanel. • Read more fashion advice and style inspiration from our experts And she is also seen channelling an aesthetic that might charitably be called kooky, in the form of a multicoloured maxidress that to my eyes looks like the unfortunate love child of a Mondrian painting and a doll loo roll cover but that — should you demur — can be yours for just over six thousand quid courtesy of the label Gabriela Hearst. Rogers's points of reference here are clearly the new generation of 'devils', women such as Chioma Nnadi, who heads up British Vogue, Claire Thomson-Jonville, another Brit who has — remarkably — been allowed to take charge at French Vogue, and Chloe Malle, the daughter of the film director Louis Malle and the actress Candice Bergen, who runs and is the favourite to take over Wintour's role at American Vogue. These are women who live in denim, embrace streetwear, boho and quirkiness, and who — in the case of the ever lovely and not remotely devilish Nnadi — don't even carry a designer bag. It's not that they don't wear Prada. They most definitely do, though it skews towards the more streetwear end of the brand's operation. (Yes, the savviest brands have moved on their offering over the past couple of decades too.) Nnadi, for example, has a fabulous feather-strewn Prada hooded parka: Oasis meets Edith Sitwell. Yet they are just as likely to be seen in more low-key (in everything aside from price) labels such as Totême or The Row, or in a flea market find, or in something they picked up on holiday in Formentera, or even on — shh — the high street. (The last three are the ultimate humble brags these days and are certainly not ones you would find in the wardrobes of La Wintour or La Priestly.) It's not that their styles are the same. Nnadi — to my mind the most interesting dresser of the triumvirate — is the most eclectic and colourful, and the most streetwear-inflected. There's something very London about her garms. Malle is the New York version of similar, skewing a bit more polished and a bit more look-what-I-found-in-my-grandmother's-attic (given her lineage, that must be quite some attic). Thomson-Jonville is all about the perfect white tee/blue jeans/black dress. She is, pleasingly, out-Frenching the French. • 'Anna Wintour? I found her efforts to seem intimidating almost comical' What unites them is that they couldn't be less interested in looking chic. Cool is their thing. Better — or worse, depending on your outlook — they are rarely even seen in heels. Yes, these days the devil wears New Balance and likes a gong bath. It's hard to underline what a move-on this is in terms of the front row aesthetic. When Nnadi took over in London in 2023, it was more than a little entertaining to watch the Voguettes dump their heels and tailoring in favour of the Adidas three-stripe. I have to say at this point, however, that I don't think any of them would be seen dead in any of what appear to be Sachs's on-duty looks. The hip denim ensembles, sure. But the weird corporate cosplay — to wit a grey suit, a retro black ruched top, try-hard heeled boots and a bag so large and unwieldy as to give a run for its money the one from the last series of Succession that became its own meme — definitely not. Can this be the missing link, plot-wise? That Andy still hasn't got her wardrobe properly sorted? Bring on next May.@annagmurphy

Sarah Jessica Parker in possible conflict of interest over Booker longlisted author
An apparent conflict of interest has emerged over the Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker's judging of this year's Booker prize. A production company run by the actor is reportedly in the process of developing a book written by Claire Adam, whose second novel, Love Forms, appears on this year's longlist, announced on Tuesday. Adam's debut novel, Golden Child, was published in the US in 2019 by SJP for Hogarth, the Penguin imprint for which Parker served as editorial director. It is being developed as a film by Parker's company Pretty Matches Productions and MA Productions. 'It is not uncommon for judges to have a connection to authors whose work has been submitted, so all judges have to declare any conflicts of interest at the outset,' said Gaby Wood, chief executive of the Booker Prize Foundation. 'As Sarah Jessica Parker published Claire Adam's first novel, Golden Child, under her US imprint SJP for Hogarth, she declared the potential conflict to ensure transparency and only gave her view on the book after the other judges had shared theirs. No book can go through if it is supported by one judge alone, and Love Forms has earned its place on the Booker prize 2025 longlist through the active support of other judges on the panel.' In an interview with the the Irish Times published in June, Adam said that the film option 'was bought by a small production company in LA (MA Productions), and we're all so thrilled that SJP's Pretty Matches Productions is on board as well. Film stuff moves slowly, there are a zillion obstacles, and her supporting the project is fantastic.' Pretty Matches Productions, founded in 2005, is also behind the Sex and the City sequel And Just Like That … and the HBO series Divorce, which Parker executive produced and starred in. In an interview with the Times in June, Adam said that Parker 'reads loads and so it was really fun to hang out with her. She's so lovely and sincere. She read the book cover to cover and got up at 5am to travel to meet me.' Golden Child is published in the UK by Faber, and in 2019 won the Desmond Elliott prize. In June 2023, Parker launched SJP Lit, in partnership with the independent publisher Zando, which has published titles including These Days by Lucy Caldwell and The Story of the Forest by Linda Grant. Parker also shares book recommendations on her Instagram account. Parker was announced as a judge of this year's Booker prize in December, with Wood saying at the time that she had 'enjoyed sharing book recommendations with Sarah Jessica, who has passionately supported contemporary fiction for many years'. The 2025 judging panel is chaired by Roddy Doyle, and Parker's co-judges are Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀, Kiley Reid and Chris Power. Adam was named as one of 13 longlisted authors, which include the former winner Kiran Desai, Tash Aw and David Szalay. The shortlist will be revealed on 23 September, with the winner announced on 10 November.
