Kristin Davis always checks in with Sarah Jessica Parker on what to wear — and the reason is seriously sweet

Kristin Davis is reflecting on why, to date, she checks in with Sex and the City co-star cum longtime friend Sarah Jessica Parker before they go out together.

The actress, 60, renowned for playing Charlotte York on the iconic series and its spinoff, And Just Like That..., has been working with Parker since the '90s. During a recent segment of her SATC rewatch podcast, Are You a Charlotte?, York reflected on why she chooses to get her friend's opinion ahead of any plans.

During the episode, as she revisited the Sex and the City episode "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," she reflected on Sarah Jessica Parker's character, Carrie Bradshaw, being overdressed for a game, though according to her, it was "very important."

She "basically says that she doesn't care if she's too dressed up, because it's more important that she look good in case she runs into Big [who was Carrie's ex at the time]. But in general, the important fact is she doesn't care if she's too dressed up." She added, "That is important to know for life and the show."

The actress also drew parallels between Sarah Jessica Parker and Carrie Bradshaw, adding,

"And I always have to check in with Sarah Jessica." She went on, "I need to know what Sarah Jessica's gonna wear to our different events, because she might be wearing something that is, like, way dressier than what I pictured in my mind, and I hate to be out of sync with her." She added, "There's a part of me always, like, 'Oh my gosh, why do I have to dress up so much all the time?' But on the other hand, it's fun to dress up."

During the segment, Kristin Davis also shared that dressing up isn't a priority for her, but it can be "fun" to try on clothes for the show, adding, "It can make you feel good to dress up."

"And in life, I really don't dress up at all. So when we haven't worked for a while, then we go back to work and we get to get in all the clothes, I love it so much, because I don't do it that much. And so I think it's a good thing to remember. Like, it can make you feel good to dress up," she added.

Kristin Davis starred alongside Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, and David Eigenberg in Sex and the City, which ran from 1998 to 2004. Parker recently served as a guest on Davis' podcast, when she shocked fans by revealing that she initially tried to call her agent to “get [her] out” of the show when HBO picked it up after filming the pilot in 1997.

While the Hocus Pocus actress referred to her first experience on set as lovely, she conceded to panicking at the idea of committing to a television series longtime, noting that the notion “kind of depressed” her.

"When the show was picked up, I panicked. I was like, 'I can’t be on a TV show. I don’t think I’m suited for that life,'” she told Davis. “That to me was having it all,” she explained, adding, “The idea of a television series meant that I couldn’t do all those things. And it just kind of felt like somebody was, you know, putting their hand over my mouth or something. It was very weird.”

Sarah Jessica Parker also said that she wasn't too thrilled about having to show up on set, day after day, for the same role, as she told Kristin Davis:

“I think that it was the idea of doing the same thing over and over and over again. And I think I’d always been lucky that I got to be in a television series, and then it was over. I met great people, had a great experience, worked with great actors, great directors, thought the stories were interesting, wanted to do the shows, and they had shorter lives, maybe one or two seasons. And then I moved on.”

Luckily for fans of the show, however, when she tried to get out of the commitment, her agents convinced her to stay.

“Do it for a year, and if you don’t want to do it anymore, we won’t do it,” she said they told her.

From then on, Sarah Jessica Parker said she “never looked back” as the project “went from being this oppressive idea to endless possibilities.”
