Sarah Jessica Parker Might Skip This Year's Met Gala: Andy Cohen
Sarah Jessica Parker's fashionable outfits have always been part of the Met Gala highlights, but she might not show up in this year’s American fashion-themed event.
Parker’s close friend Andy Cohen hinted at this as he spoke to Access Hollywood Tuesday. “I’m taking a year off,” Cohen, 53, said when asked about his plans for the September shindig.
“My date is filming this year. She’s filming 'And Just Like That…,'” he said in the Access Hollywood interview, Page Six reported.
The “Sex and the City” star always walks on the Met Gala red carpet with utmost style, be it in an extravagant headpiece or a revealing dress.
According to Page Six, the 56-year-old actress attended the event with Cohen no less than five times in the past. When the pandemic hit and the 2020 event was canceled, the pair still celebrated together in accordance with COVID-19 safety protocols.
The event usually takes place on the first Monday in May but the first Monday in September is Labor Day and so this year’s gala is set for Sep. 13. It will be hosted by Billie Eilish, Naomi Osaka, Timothée Chalamet and Amanda Gorman and guests will be required to show proof of vaccination and must remain masked indoors.
On the work front, Parker is filming the much-talked-about reboot of “Sex and the City” in New York City.
Aside from Parker, the show’s originals, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis are reprising their roles as Miranda Hobbes and Charlotte York. It will also feature the return of other characters, including leading men Chris Noth, John Corbett, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler and fan favorites Mario Cantone, and Willie Garson.
The reboot will also welcome new characters including Sara Ramirez, who will play Che Diaz, a nonbinary, queer stand-up comedian.
Titled “And Just Like That…,” the 10-part “Sex and the City” revival show will tell the stories of the three best friends -- their journeys through life and its complexities in their 50s.
Earlier, a top official at HBO Max said Kim Cattrall who played Samantha Jones is not filming for the reboot.
“Just as in real life, people come into your life, people leave. Friendships fade, and new friendships start so I think it is all very indicative of the real stages, the actual stages of life,” Casey Bloys, HBO Max’s chief content officer, told TV line.
