Sex And The City could have done with some more non-white women (Picture: REX)

Sarah Jessica Parker thinks Sex and the City would be a very ‘different show’ now and probably have more women of colour.

Well, well, well…What do we have here?

SJP is saying what many of us have thought for years!

Who hasn’t noticed that – and this also applies to the sitcom Friends – it was fairly unrealistic that a cast based in multi-cultural New York City would be so predominately white?


If you haven’t, we are here to point it out to you very plainly that SATC had some major diversity issues.

The 53-year-old actress also said that if her journalist alter-ego Carrie Bradshaw’s existed today she would be involved in the rise of the rise of the #MeToo movement and the Time’s Up initiative.



She admits her character – who she played from 1998 to 2004 and in two spin-off movies in 2008 and 2010 – was very much a product of her time.

Speaking at the Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything Festival in Manhattan on Thursday she said: ‘There were no women of colour . . . and there was no substantial conversation about the LGBTQ community.’

Though the Divorce star feels encouraged that a lot of people want to get involved in the Time’s Up initiative, she admitted change will take time and that Carrie would have been part of that change.

‘I think Carrie Bradshaw is very much a product of her generation and I think her conversations about sexual politics and intimacy spoke to the years,’ she said.

She added: ‘As always, those years prior to being a young adult inform your worldview. I think that she would have a lot to say about this, and I would be curious to read [her] column if she could sit back and look at it.

‘You know, this city has changed – that was 20 years ago this June – this city has changed an enormous amount politically and economically and socially and I think it would be a different show, honestly.’

Sarah’s comments after she floored us all by wearing an actual nativity scene on her head in her very extra Met Gala look on Monday.

She has always been one to go above and beyond.

She even told reporters the thing on her head was in scale. Oh, you’ve got to love her!

‘I am inspired by the themes,’ she told E! on the red carpet. ‘One can only do your best. This was particularly enjoyable because Dolce & Gabbana — they’re devoted observant Catholics — and so they’ve grown up with the church and imagery and they had a lot of strong feelings and beautiful sketches so it was easy.’

Yeah, this totally looked ‘easy’.
