And Just Like That… It’s Been 25 Years: Inside the Sex and the City 25th Anniversary Experience

Yet the undisputed highlight of the experience: Carrie’s brownstone and an exact life-size replica of her bedroom, which had been painstakingly recreated down to every minute detail. There was the desk where she wrote her columns on a beat-up laptop, a glass of daisies to her left and a 2000 guide to New York City restaurants to her right. In the waste bin were crumpled scraps of paper and a plastic takeaway bag with used chopsticks jutting out, while her rotary phone sat on top of a pile of old fashion magazines and self-help tomes.

That night, a well-heeled crowd arrived to fete the series once more at the Vogue Opening Night Event, winding their way through Carrie’s apartment, into her closet, through the Dreamscape—a hall lined with mirrors and video projections of Carrie’s most fabulous fashion moments—and into the central space, where hot and pale pink peonies filled the room and delighted attendees stood elbow to elbow, craning their necks to admire Carrie’s cupcake minaudière and pigeon-shaped clutch. In line with both Vogue and Max’s mission to uplift and empower stories and storytellers across communities—from LGBTQIA+ to Latinx and black creators and audiences—a beautifully diverse crowd turned up for the affair.

DJ Mazurbate mixed tracks with the likes of social media creator star Clara Perlmutter, fashion designer Zac Posen, model Aaron Rose Philip, show-runner Michael Patrick King, and writer Candace Bushnell, whose columns were the basis for the original series. Of course, the arrival of And Just Like That...stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, Sarita Choudhury, Nicole Ari Parker, and Karen Pittman caused ripples of excitement, as they embraced and posed happily for photo after photo.
