The And Just Like That Cast Answers Vogue’s Burning Questions

And Just Like That fans, the day has finally come: Season three officially kicks off today on Max. This season, the glamorous gang is back together again in New York City—said gang being Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Seema (Sarita Choudhury), and Lisa (Nicole Ari Parker), of course. On deck for season three? The fab-five navigate everything from their busy careers to the dynamics of dating, friendship, marriage, and motherhood. Come for the drama and comedy, stay for the elevated fashions—all costume designed by Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago.

In honor of the buzzy new season, Vogue recently caught up with the cast in Manhattan to discuss all things AJLT—from what they loved about their character’s new costumes (which are always a series highlight), to how they would spend a perfect day off in New York City (for SJP, that’s waiting in line for pizza at L’industrie, while Choudhury would do brunch at Balthazar). Plus, we squeezed in some bonus rounds too, including what their favorite books and emojis are. Cue: a heart, Nixon’s go-to.

Below, watch as the cast of And Just Like That answers Vogue’s burning questions.

What excited you about your character’s fashions this season?

You can expect a variety of high-fashions to hit your TV screen this year—from avant-garde, to menswear-inspired. “[Molly and Danny] pulled in a bunch Victorian stuff, and I went crazy for it,” says Parker of Carrie’s looks this season. “There some really amazing big skirts and bustles.” Nixon, meanwhile, loved the tailoring and suiting that Miranda gets to wear. “Miranda has all these masc looks that she’s playing with. Now, it feels like she’s a person that is happy with androgyny,” Nixon says,.

What’s your go-to wardrobe staple?

For Parker, that’s a Reformation knit dress. “It’s unimpressive, but it’s pretty tried-and-true,” she says. “It has a simple shape and looks good on everybody—I own it in like four colors.” Nixon favors corduroy pants, while Davis sometimes enjoys pulling out old Charlotte costumes. “I’ve got some amazing Charlotte pieces from the first [Sex and the City] show,” Davis says. “I just had Megan Thee Stallion on my podcast, and I wore the Prada lipstick skirt.”

What’s your most-used emoji?

This season, And Just Like That has several emoji-focused moments (no spoilers!)—so we had to ask the cast what their most-used text emojis are. For Nixon, that would be the heart and blowing-a-kiss emoji. For Choudhury, it’s the laughing-on-a-side-slant emoji. Davis, meanwhile, enjoys sending the prayer hands. “I don’t know if I’m doing it properly,” she admits.

What’s your favorite fiction book of all time?

This season, Carrie ventures into fiction writing, so Vogue asked the cast what their favorite novel of all time is. “Are you freaking kidding me,” quips Parker, a well-noted bibliophile and Booker Prize judge. (Still, she admits she has a new Miriam Toews book she is excited to read.) For Nixon, her favorite book is So Big by Edna Ferber; For Davis, its What is the What by Dave Eggers. For Choudhury, meanwhile, it’s anything by Milan Kundera, while Ari Parker enjoys Beloved by Toni Morrison and They Dream in Gold by Mai Sennaar.

What’s your ideal day off in New York City?

Lastly, given New York City serves as the backdrop (and its own character) in And Just Like That, we had to ask the cast how they would spend an ideal day-off in the city. For Parker, it would be waiting in line for the iconic pizza at L’Industrie, while Choudhury would do brunch at Balthazar. Nixon would see a Broadway show—or maybe even two. Davis would take a stroll in Central Park, rain or shine. Ari Parker, however, would grab a coffee from a coffee truck, take the subway downtown, grab some pasta at Sant Ambroeus, and conclude with seeing a film at the Angelika.
