Awesome thing about our appearance, it’s totally up to us individually if we color our hair, wear make up, have cosmetic work done. It’s not anyone else’s concern.

I feel like this about most women with dyed hair once then get into their mid-50s. Who do they think they’re fooling?

SJP has it the easiest since her hair is fair, but Kristin Davis. Ooof. No one thinks she’s 35 anymore. This is not aging gracefully.

The show could be great but Michael Patrick King is a terrible writer of women. I wish they had more female writers like they did on the original show.



Che and Kristin's Upper E Side friend don't add anything, show would be better without them. Really like Nya and Seema, even if I agree with a PP that Seema needs to be better differentiated from Samantha.



Not a Che fan and agree Charlotte's Upper E Side friend (can't even remember character's name!) doesn't add much in terms of storytelling but I'm always interested in her fashion. She's gorgeous and wears everything so well!



Yes, she's too similar to Charlotte, including the Bunny storyline. Her professional storyline isn't convincing, and the writers aren't deft enough to handle race in an interesting or thought-provoking way.


Someone with a stable family life and tons of money is going to be less interesting than the other characters. But she definitely gives us good fashion!


She's very beautiful but it really speaks to the underdevelopment of her character that none of us can remember her name. I also don't really find it realistic that her MIL is such a judgmental c**t. Plus that feels like a retread of Bunny.

I guess she makes sense as Charlotte's friend, moving in the same circles, but doesn't spark with the other girls.

The new preview for the season looks promising. I am into Miranda being back in NYC (for how long?), Charlotte going back to work, Nya dating after more than 20 years, and Steve's return. Possibly Aiden's return, depending on how it's handled. As dumb as it seems from a narrative perspective, they did always have good chemistry.

I think SJP's hair looks amazing, the best it's ever looked. Cynthia Nixon's hair is a lighter shade of red, and suits her just fine. So much better than the gray. Kristen Davis's hair should be lightened, a little too dark and harsh-looking for her fair skin.


The hair looks great …it just doesn’t match their faces and looks ridiculous on them.



They're aging. What do you want them to have, granny hair? I agree Kristin's hair is a bit dark but otherwise they all look great.


LOL-- I agree! She wants them all to chop off their hair, have it grey, and look like ugly old butch nuns.

Agree. Her dropping out of her Columbia coursework to run off with Che made zero sense. Especially for a consummate New Yorker.


They had those episodes set in LA back in the day and she especially despised it.

It's crazy this woman is almost EGOT and a celebrated stage actor and they have her flailing around wet in a bathroom. And little SJP is having bra-on missionary.




In her contract not to show her tatas! She never did in the whole series, which is a bummer since they are probably beautiful!

LOL, true. I appreciate they're showing middle-age ladies with healthy sex drives but this was unexpected. But despite her best efforts, she has zero chemistry with Che and it's uncomfortable to watch.



For the life of me, I don't understand why they didn't pair Miranda with Nya. That would have made far more sense in terms of general compatibility. I understand wanting to introduce a non-binary character/love interest but forcing it in the absence of chemistry doesn't do anyone any favors.


Would love to see that pairing but I think they needed the character who has already dipped in the lady pond to move it along.
