The show’s premiere episode, “Hello, It’s Me,” opens with Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, Miranda Hobbes (played by Cynthia Nixon, and Charlotte York played by Kristin Davis, acclimating to life in their 50s. With the pilot dedicated to several stunning style moments, it's clear these women had yet to lose their love of fashion.

While that hasn’t changed, many other things have, as Carrie struggles to talk about her sex life on a podcast and Miranda deals with the current political climate as she goes back to school to study human rights law. But the shock of the episode actually revolved around Carrie’s husband Mr. Big, played by Chris Noth.
