Dressed in black tie finery, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis looked like they should be sipping in martinis as a piano tinkled somewhere in the background.
But the women who have partied up a storm in Manhattan for over a decade as Carrie and Charlotte in HBO's beloved Sex and the City, are obviously more like their characters than anyone could have guessed.
The pair left the glitzy amfAR gala in LA last night and headed towards the heart of the action, just south of the famous Sunset Strip.
Well-heeled and exclusive Soho House was available to them; as was the legendary Chateau Marmont with its gentile outside garden.
Jennifer Aniston's favourite haunt, The Sunset Tower, would have been a nice fit on a chilly Californian night with its roaring fires, breathtaking LA views and yes, a tinkling piano.
But Parker and Davis, both 47, clearly had more fun in my mind so still in posh frocks the pair rocked up to The Abbey, West Hollywood's most famous gay bar, and a raucous epicentre in the neighbourhood.
Quirky, brave Carrie would always be ahead of Charlotte as they headed to the dance floor.
In reality, of course, these incredible looking women live very different lives.
Kristin, who split up with West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin earlier this year, lives in the City of Angels with her adopted daughter, Gemma Rose.
So it was perhaps her choice (and chance) to show committed New York and mother-of-three Parker around her home city.
so cute!!
and earlier in the night:
they're both adorable!
