Since the very first official announcement that all systems were go for that long-awaited Sex And The City rebootwe've been on the lookout for the first signs of filming. We might not, as yet, have any confirmed sightings of Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon striding along the streets of New York, arm-in-arm, swathed in designer must-haves and pursued by a film crew, but we did spot Sarah Jessica Parker flaunting a couple of signature hair and make-up looks that might well signal Carrie Bradshaw's return. No, we can't contain our excitement either.

Sarah Jessica Parker is well known for sharing a love of shoes with her small screen counterpart Carrie Bradshaw and even has her own eponymous shoe brand SJP. Far from managing her company from a distance, Sarah Jessica Parker can often be seen working in the flagship SJP shoe store in New York City and not from behind a desk either! The actress can frequently be spotted on her hands and knees helping SJP shoppers to try on some of her favourite shoe styles.

Sarah Jessica Parker will shortly be starring in And Just Like That..., the long-awaited Sex And The City reboot that HBO Max confirmed recently would run as a 10 episode series and is set to start filming this year. SJP must have some time free of filming on her hands though as she was spotted once again lending a retail-savvy hand at her SJP flagship store in New York City. The eagle-eyed among you may well have clocked a couple of signs that Carrie Bradshaw could back on the scene. While Carrie Bradshaw is famed for her natural curls, Sarah Jessica Parker has spent recent years adopting a blow-dried look, but those beautiful curls were well and truly in situ at the weekend. Could SJP have brought them back for filming? Then there are those additional blonde highlights. SJP can often err on the brunette side of things IRL but tends to switch things back to blonde when playing Carrie. Do these two hair-centric revamps point towards Carrie Bradshaw's imminent return? We'll leave you to ponder that one.
Then there's the eyeliner. Sarah Jessica Parker is renowned for regularly wearing a beautiful shade of kohl to define her eyes - make-up artist Neil Young revealed exclusively to Grazia that he used MAC Cosmetics Eye Kohl in Phone Number, £16, to achieve the effect along her lash lines ahead of her husband Matthew Broderick's West End debut - and that look often makes it into Carrie Bradshaw's beauty repertoire on Sex And The City too. Another images shows SJP rocking her kohl to the max. Is this yet another sign that Carrie Bradshaw is back? We'll have to wait and see.

Sex And The City Beauty Lessons
1 of 101. Chemical Peels? Proceed With Caution
Ok, let's start with the most obvious one here. Samantha's chemical peel. She's cajoled into the procedure by her go-to aesthetician, and ends up with a red raw face that she's forced to conceal with a veil when she loyally rocks up at Carrie's book launch. Do your research before you book in, and remember, when it comes to peels, opt for the gentlest version first if you're a newbie.
2 of 102. Scrunchies Are A Point Of Contention
Remember that episode where Carrie mocks her then-boyfriend Burger's (post-it guy!) mention of a scrunchie in his novel and he gets over-the-top offended? They're a serious point of contention. Note to self, don't discuss money, politics or scrunchies in polite conversation.
3 of 103. Holiday Prep Is Essential
We're moving onto the movies here, but Miranda's furry bikini line proved a cautionary tale when Samantha caught sight of it mid sunbathhing session in Mexico. Sure Miranda hadn't had time to contemplate a waxing appointment and we're all for a 70s look, but if you've got a sharp-tongued friend like Samantha, it's best to either prep the area, or prep your friend.
4 of 104. Acupuncture Is Worth The Spend
If you used to thing that acupuncture was a lot of airy-fairy nonsese, this episode probably made you think again. Charlotte tries acupuncture when she's trying to get pregnant after a whole host of her Park Avenue friends recommend a particular practitioner. Well if the Park Avenue set are doing it...!
5 of 105. Hummus Is A Natural Source Of Oestrogen
You might remember that in the second Sex And The City movie, Samantha is intent on staving off the menopause and her precious pills (her usual means of doing) get confiscated at the airport. The result? She spends the rest of the holiday downing hummus - a natural source of oestrogen.
6 of 106. There's Never A Bad Time To Embrace Kohl
We're still on the second Sex And The City movie and we're turning the spotlight on kohl, kohl kajal to be specific. Carrie picks up the chunky black eye pencil at the souk and uses it to line her waterlines to gorgeous effect just prior to her ill-advised meet-up with Aiden.
7 of 107. DON'T Spray Liberally When Perfume Shopping
One of the SATC ladies' catch up chats takes place at a perfume counter and it's where we all learned to be sparing when sampling a perfume counter's delights. Charlotte's on the hunt for her next fragrance it seems and shouts 'what about cucumber basil?!' to which Samantha retorts 'why would you want to smell like a salad?!'. Spray with caution.
8 of 108. Make Sure You Really Clarify Things When You Book Your Bikini Wax
Upon booking a wax appointment in LA, Carrie is mortified to find herself stripped of every last hair. Yep, that's a Hollywood. Lesson learned? Talk through exact details of the bikini wax that you're after when you book in, and double check everything with your therapist when you arrive.
9 of 109. Leave The Greys Down There Alone
Samantha sets about dying her pubic hair as soon as she finds a lone grey hair - big mistake! The dye turns her pubic hair a bright orange, that's far worse wouldn't you say?! Letting anything as strong as a dye get anywhere near that area isn't advisable anyway so it's best to leave well alone.
10 of 1010. Orgasms Could Save You Loads Of Money On Facials
When Charlotte compliments Samantha on her incredibly glowy complexion, Samanthat reveals that it's all down to orgasms. Note to self - a bit of decent sex or self love could save you a pretty penny when it comes to skincare.
