Kim Cattrall looked casually chic in a blouse and jeans as she stepped out in New York City on Sunday – days after throwing shade at the scrapped Sex and the City 3 script.
The actress, 66, who will return as sex mad publicist Samantha Jones in the second season of reboot And Just Like That…, wowed in a pastel blue blouse and high-waisted jeans as she strolled with partner Russell Thomas, 52.
The star paired her outfit with white leather brogues, a blue handbag and mirrored shades as she flashed a warm smile at the camera.
Her blonde locks were styled in soft waves and she sported a radiant palette of make-up.
The star has been hot on the promo trail for her latest show, Glamorous but has been dishing on her shock cameo as Samantha, after years of vowing to never return to the role amid her feud with Sarah Jessica Parker.
Causing ructions: Kim Cattrall looked casually chic in a blouse and jeans as she stepped out in New York City on Sunday – days after throwing shade at the scrapped Sex and the City 3 script
This comes after Cattrall threw some shade at the movie sequel she refused many years earlier.
Sex and the City was one of HBO’s biggest hits, spawning two hit movies, 2008’s Sex and the City ($418.7 million worldwide) and 2010’s Sex and the City ($290.7 million worldwide).
However, a third movie was derailed by Cattrall’s refusal to sign on, which in turn caused a rift with her co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis.
When HBO decided to reboot the series with a new show entitled And Just Like That… Kim Cattrall was not asked back, and it was revealed in the series premiere that her character Samantha Jones had moved to London.
Writer Evan Ross Katz tweeted an image of Shakira at Paris Fashion Week with an intriguing dress that literally has a large ‘NO’ puffed out of the dress, adding the caption, ‘Kim Cattrall after reading the SEX AND THE CITY 3 script:,’ which Cattrall saw and responded with, ‘Ha!!!’
Back in May 2022, Cattrall opened up on that Sex and the City 3 script in a Variety interview, confirming a report that the movie would feature her character receiving ‘unwanted d**k pics’ from Brady, the then-14-year-old son of Miranda Hobbes (Nixon).
‘It’s heartbreaking,’ Cattrall said, and then when asked what she would have liked to seen happen with Samantha, she referenced the ‘d**k pics’ again.
‘Why can’t Samantha, who owns her PR company — maybe she had to sell it because of financial woes? 2008 was tough. Some people are still recovering,’ Cattrall said.

‘She had to sell it to some guy who’s wearing a hoodie, and that’s the dilemma she has. I mean that’s a scenario that was kind of off the top of one of my reps’ heads, and I thought that’s a great idea. That’s a conflict. Instead of an underage boy’s …,’ she said.
When asked if she didn’t feel Samantha was, ‘progressing’ in the third movie, Cattrall responded, ‘That’s an understatement.’
She added, ‘I would have preferred for all of us to have some kind of event to warrant a third film. That didn’t happen. But also, I was ready. And this is exactly what I wished for: to be in different places playing different characters because I’m a character actress.’
While Cattrall admitted that she hadn’t seen the first season at that time, she heard, ‘The series is basically the third movie. That’s how creative it was.’
She confirmed that she was never asked back for And Just Like That… adding that she found out like everyone else, on social media.

Still, all these years later, Cattrall will be back as Samantha Jones in the Season 2 finale of And Just Like That, opening up about her return on The View last month.
‘Well, It’s very interesting to get a call from the head of HBO, saying “What can we do?” I went, “Hm, let me get creative,”‘ she said.
She added that one of the things she requested was to bring back original SATC costume designer Pat Field.
The Season 1 finale featured a scene where Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) reached out to Samantha in an effort to reconcile, and Cattrall’s cameo will seemingly showcase their reconciliation.
