15/12/2021 - 06:37 AM

And Just Like That, we're strolling down memory lane! The much-awaited HBO Max reboot of Sex and the City [1], And Just Like That . . . [2], debuted on the streamer on 9 Dec. and finally reunited us with the beloved gang! With just the first two episodes dropping on the streaming services, it's apparent the revival has the original's charm, only with a modern touch [3], but not without a few subtle (and some obvious) nods to the iconic original series that aired from 1998 to 2004. From chic nods to iconic outfits [4], to clever callbacks, to major storylines and characters — the revival is chock-full of fun Easter eggs that you might have missed. So grab a cosmo and get ready for a burst of nostalgia because we've rounded up all the references that made it into the first two episodes of the And Just Like That . . . revival.

The Opening Theme Song

Much like the new era of Sex and the City [5], the opening theme song of the reboot, And Just Like That . . ., gets a revamp. The revival opens with an up-tempo, spruced-up version of the original theme song for a modern dose of nostalgia.

The Smith's Bar

Smith Jerrod, Samantha [6]'s love interest for season six of the original series and both movies, may not have been cast in the reboot, but he did get a clever shout-out in And Just Like That . . . As Miranda makes a pitstop at a bar to get a glass of Chablis before heading to her class at Columbia, we get a full-screen shot of the bar with its name showing in bold letters: "Smith's Bar/Restaurant." We see you!

Carrie’s Iconic Address to Her Shoe Collection

Carrie has sparked many a pop-culture trend by confidently donning bold sartorial outfits and statement pieces. Of course, her accessories and shoe collection completing the ensembles were trendsetters in their own right. In season four of the show, we see Carrie adoringly addressing a gorgeous pair of heels in a store window, saying, "Hello, lovers." As we're gifted another round of her awe-inspiring, luxurious closet in the revival, we witness her similarly call out to her enviable collection of designer shoes.
