BACK IN TOWN - ‘I BUY MY CLOTHES IN THRIFT STORES!'

SHE’S ONE OF THE BIGGEST STYLE ICONS OF ALL TIME BUT AS THE MUCHANTICIPATED NEW SERIES OF SEX AND THE CITY HITS OUR SCREENS SARAH JESSICA PARKER ADMITS SHE’S A BIG FAN OF BUYING SECOND HAND

- LUCY ALLEN

It’s been more than two decades since Sex And The City came out but it feels like yesterday that we first saw Carrie Bradshaw strutting down the streets of New York in a pink vest and white tutu. The good news is that the girls are back with a new series, And Just Like That – and we can’t wait.

While it has all the ingredients that made SATC so special – shoes, amazing outfits, wit, filth, more shoes – there is a very large Samantha-shaped hole after an alleged long-running feud between Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker. But fear not, for Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis – aka Miranda and Charlotte – more than make up for it and while the girls may now be in their fifties, they’re not ready to hang up their heels just yet.

Here, Sarah Jessica Parker, 56 – who’s married to 59-year-old actor Matthew Broderick and mum to James, 19 and 12-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion – discusses the new series, how she hand-delivers shoes from her range SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker to customers, and why curiosity is at the root of her success…

Hi SJP! When you decided to make the new series, And Just Like That, did you know how the plot was going to go?
