Just like Sex and the City‘s very own Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker is a fashionista in her own right — and even influences her co-star Kristin Davis‘ style choices.
Season 2, Episode 1 of the HBO sitcom, titled “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” was the topic of conversation on Monday’s (May 19) episode of Davis’ Are You a Charlotte? podcast, during which Carrie (Parker) is navigating her breakup with Big (Chris Noth), per People.
She ends up getting dragged to a Yankee game by Charlotte (Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) — and later joined by Samantha (Kim Cattrall) — where as Davis noted on her podcast, she is “too dressed up.” The actress teased that this tendency is “very important… even now in life” between her and Parker.
“We’re getting ready to go out and promote And Just Like That… , and I always have to check in with Sarah Jessica because I need to know what Sarah Jessica’s going to wear to our different events,” she explained. “Because she might be wearing something that is, like, way dressier than what I pictured in my mind and I hate to be out of sync with her.”
While Davis summed up that Carrie “doesn’t care if she’s too dressed up” and that the motive was also fueled by the possibility of running into Big, she noted that this is “important to know for life and the show.” Davis also conceded that it is “fun to dress up,” even if it feels tedious. In fact, she claimed that she “really do[es]n’t dress up at all” very frequently anymore.
“So when we haven’t worked for a while and we go back to work and we get to get in all the clothes,” she continued, “it’s just really — I love it so much because I don’t do it that much. And so I think it’s a good thing to remember, like, it can make you feel good to dress up.”
Ahead of the And Just Like That… Season 3 premiere on May 29, Parker joined Davis on her podcast, admitting that she nearly backed out of the project after the series was ordered at HBO, per TV Insider.
“I was like, ‘I can’t be on a TV show. I don’t think I’m suited for that,'” she shared on last Thursday’s (May 22) installment, per the outlet.
Fortunately Parker, who saw herself as a “journeyman” at the time taking on different kinds of projects, eventually concluded that “it went from being this oppressive idea to endless possibilities.”
