Sarah Jessica Parker was cautious about being naked while filming for the cult classic series Sex And The City.
The actress, who rose to fame playing Carrie Bradshaw on the HBO show, was often filmed in steamy scenes with her love interest co-stars throughout the series, although she refused to strip off entirely. SJP had a no-nudity clause written into her contract ahead of filming for the show.
In a series with the name Sex And The City fans may expect the main character to show a bit of skin, but this was not the case with Sarah.

During an interview on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show back in 2023, SJP said: “I thought the [SATC] script was really interesting and really exciting and different and fresh, I’d never seen anything like that. The only thing I said to [creator Darren Star] that I was concerned about was that I just didn’t feel comfortable doing nudity and I suspected that if it wasn’t in the pilot, it would be a part of the series.”

Sarah said that Star told her “not to do it” and that he “didn’t care” as there were “other actors” working on the show that “will do it if they feel comfortable”. He assured the actress that she “did not have to” strip off for SATC, which appeared to set her mind at ease.
SJP continued: “I think I was just shy. I just never felt comfortable exposing myself that way, I never had any judgements about anybody else doing it, it wasn’t like a morality thing. If somebody else felt comfortable doing it, I was admiring of them but I just never felt comfortable being nude.”
Her no-nudity clause continued into the much anticipated reboot, And Just Like That, which came out in 2021. Throughout season two, Carrie’s pals Miranda and Charlotte – played by Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis – both appeared naked.

However, Parker decided to stick to her guns and continued to keep her clothes on. In the SiriusXM interview, SJP recalled a time when she was left in tears after producers on a different project insisted she film a nude scene with “so much pressure to take her clothes off”.
