In recent weeks, you might have seen teaser photos for the second season of And Just Like That circulating on the internet, which reveal the return of Aidan Shaw, played by John Corbett. In one, Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw and Shaw are striding hand-in-hand in the middle of a New York street, oblivious of the traffic. In another, Aidan is smoking a cigarette around brunch with the remaining “girls”.
Some fans have been intrigued by the return of “the one that got away” from the original Sex and the City series. Others are simply horrified. And it’s no surprise, given how he looked: brown shoes, plum-coloured trousers and a £600 Belstaff jacket overwhelmed by pockets and a frankly hideous belt. Also returning? His combed-back, longish hair.
