And Just Like That: Sam Smith’s ‘cringe’ cameo is SLAMMED by fans who brand star a ‘fashion victim’ and slate ‘nails on a chalkboard’ dialogue
Sam Smith’s cameo in And Just Like That Season Two Episode 10 was labeled “cringe” and “awkward” by fans in explosive social media commentary this week.
The singer, 31, who teased their cameo during the SATC reboot in February, donned a vibrant blue suit and platform shoes for a scene where Charlotte York-Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis) sold them a painting.
Charlotte, who returned to the art world after years as a stay-at-home mom, presented a $100,000 painting by Alex Israel to the Oscar winner and said, “Like you, he uses his identity in his work.”
Smith – who is non-binary and she/she uses pronouns replied, “I really like it, yes I love it,” as an enthusiastic Charlotte said, “You too?”
When Charlotte was interrupted during her sale by a phone call from youngest child Rock, Smith also had a stilted exchange with a superfan declaring their love for them.

The previous month, British singer Sam sparked a row over “hypersexualized” dancing in their new music video, with critics claiming it “normalizes pornography” in pop culture – but fans claim it’s “empowering.”
The “raunchy” video for the singer’s new song, I’m Not Here To Make Friends, sparked a debate over whether it should be age-restricted on platforms like YouTube due to its supposedly explicit content.

Speaking on The View, the giddy star said, “It’s really interesting to get a call from the head of HBO saying, ‘What can we do?’ and I said “hmmm, let me get creative”.
“And one of those things was to get Patricia Field back and I thought if I came back I had to come back with that kind of Samantha style, I gotta push it, and we did!”
Field, who was responsible for the many groundbreaking outfits during the original show run, was unable to return as costume designer for AJLT due to her commitments to Emily In Paris, with Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago dressing the stars for the reboot.
According to Variety, Cattrall will return for just one “cliffhanger” scene, which she shot in New York City on March 22, without seeing or speaking to stars SJP, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis. The scene was also shot without AJLT showrunner Michael Patrick King.
In the scene, Samantha, who has moved to London, will have a phone conversation with Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw.
The New York Post also revealed that Cattrall’s cameo was so secretive that her name didn’t even appear on the call sheet for the day, leaving people stunned by her presence.
She is back! Kim Cattrall will make a shocking return as Sex And The City’s Samantha Jones for the second season finale of spinoff And Just Like That
An insider said show staffers’absolutely shocked, very intrigued about how they’re going to write this – and very excited. She said she would never! She said she’d never come back!’
It was alleged that her scene was being filmed in a city car in a parking garage near Silvercup Studios in Queens.
Sex And The City designer Patricia Field returned to dress Cattrall for the scene. The second season of AJLT premiered June 22 on Max.
Samantha did star in season one of AJLT, but only through text messages as Carrie repeatedly tried to mend their friendship. AJLT saw Carrie claim that Samantha cut her off and moved to London – due to anger at the writer who fired her as a publicist – in a storyline that criticized Cattrall for not being authentic to the character.
