And Just Like That… it's over.

Welcome to the MID view of the end of the Sex and the City universe — forever.

She's been our problematic friend for 27 years now, hasn't she? Carrie Bradshaw, with her impossible shoes and even more impossible romantic choices.

But the truth we always knew? Carrie was never meant to be aspirational. She was meant to be us. Messy, self-absorbed, making terrible decisions in great outfits. She mirrored our romantic disasters, our ambition, our fear of aging — and somehow made it all look glamorous.

But now? It’s time to put down the mirror and walk away.

This special drop is inspired by a story by Holly Wainwright on Mamamia
