Podcasts have become sort of a ritual for us here at Voir. Whether we listen to them as a way to start our day, as a replacement to music on our walks, or simply as an alternative form of entertainment, they have become an essential part of our daily routines. So imagine our excitement when we found out about a podcast that revolves around one of our all-time favourite series.

Sentimental in the City is a pop-culture podcast by Caroline O’Donoghue and Dolly Alderton, centered around the original series Sex and the City. The Irish author behind the Sentimental Garbage podcast decided to run a mini-series segment with her fellow writer, and friend, to talk about everything Sex and the City related but in a rather unusual format.

The two writers break down and analyse every season of the series and in a very casual, sometimes even too casual, manner. They talk about the different “themes” of this series, from Carrie Bradshaw’s incredible fashion to Samantha Jones’ tragic childhood, and then discuss the impact that these had on their lives. Because yes, even if it’s just a series we can relate to the importance its content can have on womanhood, relationships and even careers.

This mini-series resembles one of those afternoons spent with your closest friends ranting about a movie you just finished watching… just with more knowledge, analytical opinions and creative input. Maybe that’s why we love it so much and are recommending it to you right now, even if we know it has been out there for a while. With the reboot of Sex and the City, And Just Like That, approaching we thought it may be time to revisit this iconic product of American television, but instead of watching once again, it may be fun to hear what two of our favourite authors had to say about it.

If you’re looking for something lighter to start the day, something fun and familiar to listen to in your free time we suggest you check out Sentimental in the City. You won’t be finding out anything new about the acclaimed series, but if you like us enjoy a trip down memory lane but don’t have the time to re-watch 6 seasons this may be the right choice.

Sex And The City, the iconic show that has helped women survive heartbreaks and show how a new pair of shoes really does make things better – is back.

Since 1998, the smash-hit series Sex And The City has become a household name, which depicts the glamorous lives of four cosmopolitan women in the big apple. Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristen Davis, Cynthia Nixon and Kim Cattrall are the former quartet that makes up the main cast of the show and have all brought a piece of their personality to the legacy of SATC, however, it has been confirmed that Cattrall’s infamous character Samantha, will not be participating in the cut reboot. The reasons for this, remain controversial and has been generally put down to the public feud between Cattrall and SJP, although any existing feud is denied by Parker. 

HBO MAX will be the chosen platform that streams the latest SATC work, with production beginning in Spring this year with an order of 10 episodes lasting for a happy medium of 30 minutes each. The three starlets have taken to Instagram to reveal the exciting news of the shows return, as well as the title for upcoming series ‘And Just Like That’ which has sparked anticipation in their cult following.

Throughout the years Sarah Jessica Parker has taken the form of the ever-stylish Carrie Bradshaw which has played a huge role in the influence of fashion on the cosmopolitan women of the world. Little black dresses and Dior bags Galore, here are some tasteful reminders of Carries most iconic outfits to date:

Carrie’s entre outfit to New York sported a pristine white pair of skinny denims, an off the shoulder slouchy jumper, fresh Converse’s and a clear PVC satchel. This much younger version of Carrie foreshadows her elegant future, with a timeless pearl necklace sitting around her neck.

Given that Carrie is known for her journalism and blogging work, this newspaper print dress designed by Dior’s John Galliano couldn’t have gone to a better home. Complemented by a pair of sparkly black and gold Louboutin heels, perfect for her date night with Big.

Preppy and tailored but never boring, this chic ensemble of creamy tailored trousers, a fitted waist coat and a bubble gum pink pinstripe shirt with a loosely undone black oversized school tie. This look is an ode to Carrie’s character; sophisticated, yet fun.

While walking through the rustic markets of the middle east during the sequel of SATC, Carrie contrasts the ancient scenery with a modern Dior t-shirt reminiscent of a baseball players sport kit, tied together with a voluminous bright purple hued skirt to add a princess worthy element to the outfit.

Effortless and minimal. This little black dress perfectly suited Carrie strutting on the streets of New York. Paired with her signature tousled waves and classic ray bans. It’s an outfit so easily worn you still see it today.

Sex And The City will always be one of the most iconic sitcoms of the early 2000s because of the lines, the fashion and the empowerment. HBO Max have clearly recognised this, as a reboot of the show has been confirmed recently. The limited series will return with 3 out of 4 original cast members (Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis) according to reports, with no airing date confirmed just yet.

In light of this brilliant, binge-worthy news, here are our 5 favourite Sex And The City looks, and where to get them.

Carrie Bradshaw’s Muskrat Coat

Carrie’s fur coat is so iconic it doesn’t really matter what she wore with it. But with one of Carrie’s patterned midi dresses, paired with a bag and any of her mules – taking to the streets of New York always seemed like a catwalk.

Carrie Bradshaw’s Writing Outfits

Nothing screams Sex And The City like romanticising Carrie’s comfortable writing outfits. Keeping it trendy, Carrie mostly wore tank tops, shorts and sometimes with a good fitted cardigan while writing her column. With the pandemic encouraging us all to stay home, this is the kind of look we can use to romanticise our working from home.

Samantha Jones’ Red Strappy Dress

No one wore red like Samantha did in Sex And The City, nor did they rock her statement earrings quite the same. Amongst her iconic, powerful and sexy looks, Samantha’s timeless red dress with a matching bold lip takes the cake by far.

Miranda Hobbes’ Tailored Combos

Throughout the series Miranda oozed power with her tailored blazers and matching skirts or trousers, sometimes complemented by a statement brooch. These outfits matched her feisty, career-centred character with a flair that’s still iconic today.

Carrie’s Christian Dior Dress

Carrie’s Christian Dior Newspaper Dress from season 3 was an iconic look that’s been mentioned in lots of ‘Who Wore It Best’ debates ever since. The John Galliano dress is still a sought after garment in terms of vintage collections and it looked so good on Sarah Jessica Parker that she wore it again for the franchise’s second film, Sex And The City 2.
