Beethoven and the City: 4 Surprising Tributes in the Sex and the City / And Just Like That Universe

 

You come for the couture and cosmos, but stay for the classical cameos. 💅
As a longtime fan of Sex and the City and And Just Like That, I couldn’t help but notice a certain brooding maestro quietly making his way into the most iconic corners of this universe: Ludwig van Beethoven. 🎼

From love letters to piano recitals, his presence is subtle, elegant, and totally unexpected—just like the perfect pair of Manolos.

Here are 5 times Beethoven slipped into the SATC universe with serious style…

1. “Ever thine, ever mine, ever ours” – In Sex and the City: The Movie, Mr. Big sends Carrie love letters quoting Beethoven’s famous note to his “Immortal Beloved.” Swoon. 💌

   
   
   

2. Lily’s Moonlight Sonata – In And Just Like That, Season 1, Episode 1, Lily performs the fiery third movement of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata—while Big has his heart attack. A tragic and cinematic moment. 🎹💔

   
   

3. The Beethoven Poster – In that same episode, Lily’s bedroom features a poster of Beethoven on the wall—subtle but unmistakable. Classical girl era unlocked. 

   

4. 5. Beethoven’s 9th Symphony at the Ballet 🎭
   In And Just Like That Season 3, Episode 1, Carrie and Lily attend a ballet where Lily’s crush performs, and Beethoven’s powerful Ninth Symphony plays during the performance. This stunning moment blends passion, art, and the timeless beauty of Beethoven’s music in the heart of NYC.

   
   

Of all the cameos on this iconic show, Beethoven’s might be the most unexpected and the most fabulous. I want to shout out whoever is sneaking in all these classy Beethoven tributes. Your classical music game is on point! Thank You
