As a young woman, I have a sickly fear of getting old. Looking back at the portrayal of middle-aged women on television at that time, it is not difficult to understand why.

The only show featuring older women is "Golden Girl", an American comedy about a group of gray-haired divorced and widows in cardigans living in a nursing home that feels like some kind of asexuality. The place.

I consider 50 years of age to be a death sentence.

This is what it looks like in his fifties: in the extremely romantic and escapist Dolce & Gabbana

Here comes the girls: Miranda in neat tailoring, Carrie in Celine heels worth 700 pounds, and Charlotte in classic monochrome

But, oh, how things have changed. "Old" women no longer enter that good night tenderly. The complete color TV proof is presented in the form of a gorgeous ball gown by Sarah Jessica Parker.

As the 56-year-old is on the cover of Vogue before the highly anticipated "Sex and the City" revival series next month, just like that, SJP not only ages gracefully-she is still aging proudly.

'There are so many misogynistic chattering responses that we never will. happen. about. A. Man," she said, describing the reaction after the show was first announced. 

"She has too many wrinkles, she doesn't have enough wrinkles. It almost feels as if people don't want us to be satisfied with where we are.

'I know what I look like. I have no choice. what do I do? Stop aging? disappear? '

No, Carrie and her crew did not disappear. Instead, they provide us with a much-needed image depicting fabulous and lively women in their 50s who will not die in well-fitting laces and homespun sweaters.

Today’s people in their 20s and 30s are so lucky to have something positive as a reference point for their middle age.

It's easy to think of SATC as nonsense about high heels and handbags. However, as women's rights are being eroded on a global scale, this new drama has come at the right time.

When it first aired in 1999, SATC liberated a generation, telling about women who don't need men to save them or buy them good things and put women's friendship first.

Today, we need it more than ever.

A new series was produced, and the heroines happily and unapologetically rushed towards the age of 60, which is revolutionary.

It is groundbreaking to see Sarah Jessica Parker's clear facial lines and without shame to enjoy more popular fashion than ever.

I hope this new series can eliminate the fear of aging of a new generation of girls (definitely the last shackles that the West binds us?).

Once we reach 60 years old, life is not over yet—in fact, we become stronger, more dedicated, and more determined to grasp the corner of life, because we have nothing to lose.

We no longer need a man to give us a child, a home, or a status. We still feel that we are 21 years old.

When SATC first appeared on our screen, I couldn't emphasize enough.

I am in Milan, a fashion editor in my 30s, wearing my minimalist black trouser suit and big black bag for a fashion show.

I turned the corner and found Fendi was lined with a long line of over-excited young women—an old fashion house that no one cared about before.

seriously? Overalls, in your 50s? Let us hope she doesn't hurt her buttocks in those shoes!

Every woman wants a baguette, a small bag, or a croissant, a smaller bag. The more bling, the better: mine is orange with tiger stripes picked out by sequins.

In all six seasons of the original show, it provided us with the best product line. When Carrie was robbed at gunpoint and told to hand over her bag, she briskly told the gangster that it was actually "Baguette".

These details are more important than life itself.

Performance is an education. We began to understand the former niche brand-Manolo Blahnik jumped into the stratosphere, and when Carrie appeared in a monochrome "newspaper" dress, John Galliano became a household name.

We learned about sexual posture and the exact composition of cocktails.

Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte may look like fools with staggering heels, but they have a steel core.

Their men are just a foil, without a trace of girl's wisdom or joy of life.

However, I bet that if it were not responsible for global warming, the show would at least pave the way for fast, one-off fashion. Shopping is no longer a joy, but a disease.

A big mistake: in Paris with her main man. But is this Oscar de la Renta dress too fancy?

Checkmate: Gingham (Batsheva), low heels, marigolds, bad hair day? Must be a nightmare dream

Risky business: but shoulder pads (Gaultier's clothing) are too 80s

I remember attending the Oscars in Los Angeles and asking Barneys to airlift the silver Manolos with Swarovski buckles from New York to my hotel room. I have Carrie’s Apple laptop.

I have her job as a dating columnist. If I don't plan to own her shoes, I am damned.

Therefore, if I am excited about the relaunch that will be broadcast on Sky, I would underestimate it.

The photos show that Carrie's clothes are more dramatic than ever. Responsible for the wardrobe are Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago, the disciples of the legendary Patricia Field, who planned the six seasons of SATC and the following Wardrobe for two movies.

They injected some new labels that were not born last time, such as the ecological brand Gabriela Hearst.

However, people nodded happily at the original, and Carrie put on her favorite old clothes again, such as her blue Manolos-as familiar to me as my own face.

Of course, she also brought that purple baguette.

But I want to know what millennials and Gen Z will not even be able to climb up the property ladder, let alone buy bags full of designer goods.

I hope they will be grateful to our older women for opening up a new path, not just for fighting in stilettos or multiple messenger bags, but for friendship.

Because they depended on each other, in Carrie's case, they were indeed very thin.
