Kristin Davis Shares Why the 'Sex and the City' Cast Was "Scared" of Showing Their Nipples on TV

Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall, and Kristin Davis promote Sex and the City.

Upon its release in 1998, HBO's Sex and the City broke so many boundaries. Unlike any other show before it, Sex and the City—based on the book of the same name by Candace Bushnell—explored the lives of four sexually empowered women as they navigated the dating world in New York. As a result, some of the show's main cast were required to partake in nudity, which was a little terrifying at times, according to Charlotte York herself, Kristin Davis.

On a new episode of her podcast—"Are You a Charlotte?"—Davis discussed the ways in which women are perceived in the world and on TV with clinical psychologist Dr. Hillary Goldsher. "Look at how people present themselves now," Davis said (via Entertainment Weekly). "It's totally normal to have almost everyone on a red carpet in a sheer dress where, potentially, their nipples are showing."
