While I can’t call TikTok an objective force for good in modern society (especially given the recent controversy over its ownership), the video-sharing platform has given us an absolute treat this week: a reunion between certified TikTok sweetie Kyle McLachlan and his onetime onscreen bride from Sex and the City, Charlotte York-MacDougal (a.k.a. the great Kristin Davis).
MacLachlan is well-known by now for starring in bizarre and adorable TikToks, but this is the first time he’s brought Davis in on the fun. Watching the two lip-sync to a mashup of 4 Non Blondes’ “What’s Up” and Nicki Minaj’s verse on “Beez in the Trap” made me simultaneously nostalgic for Sex and the City’s original run (I’d even take more And Just Like That… at this point!) and grateful that not everyone from the iconic HBO show’s day-one cast is beefing with each other.
Were MacLachlan’s Trey and Davis’s Charlotte in any way an aspirational couple? Lord, no (they barely had sex! He decorated his apartment with duck decoys! His mother, Upper East Side legend Bunny MacDougal, was way too involved in their marriage!), but despite the fact that Charlotte’s second and final husband Harry Goldenblatt was objectively her beshert all along, I’m kind of thrilled to get the chance to revisit Trey and Charlotte’s plaid, WASP-y, dysfunctional marriage—albeit in a much lighter, musically scored capacity.
My real question for these two ex-castmates and current friends is simple: how do they look so good in their 60s? MacLachlan has the visage of a much younger man, and Davis’s signature shiny brown curls are serving. Drop the hair and skincare routines, besties!
