It’s not just John Corbett’s Aidan who’s set to return to the world of Sex and the City for season 2 of And Just Like That... - it’s been confirmed that Sam Smith will be making an appearance too. So in celebration of the Unholy singer, we feel it’s high time for a run-down of ten of the best celebrity cameos that graced the Sex and the City universe, whether it was in the hit nineties and noughties show, the films, or the much-loved spin-off, And Just Like That...

Any series worth its salt is cemented in TV history by the level of celebrity cameos it receives. Sure, Friends had Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt, but no show can live up to the glamour and gloss of the cameos that graced the small screen for Sex and the City.

Who would have thought that a princess might grace the series too? In series 3 that’s exactly what happened when princess Leia herself, Carrie Fisher met Carrie Bradshaw, providing some genuine Hollywood royalty. In a rare episode outside of NYC, audiences were transported to Los Angeles, where Carrie’s judgement fails her and she ends up in bed with Keith Travers (played by another familiar face, Vince Vaughn), who claims to be a hot-shot agent, but it turns out to be Fisher’s assistant. It’s a great turn from the late Carrie Fisher, who always had wonderful comic timing.

Perhaps, given the fashion credentials of Sex and the City, it should come as no surprise that a fair share of models and fashion icons have graced the show. Heidi Klum makes an appearance in one of the most memorable episodes. Backstage at a charity fashion show, Carrie chats with Klum, who comes across as sweetness and light. All is well with the world, until Carrie learns that she’s no longer going to be modelling a beautiful sequined D&G dress that she dreams of wearing, but instead is offered bejewelled panties, a blue coat, and a black bra. If things couldn’t get worse, as soon as she takes to the catwalk, Carrie goes flying, tripping over her stilettoes, with all the decorum of a dying swan. Meanwhile, with cut-throat professionalism, Klum steps over her likes she’s roadkill.

Over the years there have been many more cameos that can be listed here, including ones best forgotten (like a pre-president Donald Trump). The question now remains, who is going to show up alongside Sam Smith in season 2 of, And Just Like That...?

Now, this is where things get weirder. In the same episode, Samantha is walking down the street on a very hot summer’s day in the city when who should she bump into? A bikini-clad Geri Halliwell of course! Fresh from a dip at Soho House and being ‘misted with Evian’, Halliwell offers up a plumb-y British accent that should have been given an Emmy. It’s one of the more bizarre moments in the history of Sex and the City, but also equally brilliant.
