At the after party for Sex and The City 2's premiere, SJP looked sexy and seventies in a peacock-blue maxi
Many well-dressed celebrities come and go without us particularly noticing, but we do certainly have at least one true style icon for our generation: Sarah Jessica Parker (or Carrie Bradshaw if you refuse to believe the Sex and the City character isn’t actually a real person).
I don’t know about you, but the character of Carrie Bradshaw has been there for me in the good times and the bad with her oversized corsages and couture McQueen. And SJP is just as chic and stylish in real life as she is on the screen. Her trademark wavy hair, smoky eye make-up, diminutive frame and penchant for Vivienne Westwood have made her one of the red carpet’s most-loved celebs – it’s no wonder her wardrobe is so full of couture. If we were Lagerfeld we’d give her everything we’d ever designed.
We’ve noticed that the star has a bit of a thing for vintage-look maxi dresses recently. Maybe it’s her passion for Halston Heritage or just that the look is in this season, but SJP definitely has got a flair for working the high-glamour, Jerry Hall 1970s look. We’re pretty much obsessed with the outfit she rocked for Cannes this May: a purple high-necked maxi dress with a train, and a lace neckline. J’adore.
Check out the gallery for our favourite Sarah Jessica Parker looks.

Sarah Jessica Parker has revealed that one of her top style icons is our very own Kate Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge. When SJP was asked to name her favourite style icons, the I Don’t Know How She Does It actress replied: “So many. Ingrid Bergman & the way Kate Moss dresses & the Duchess of Cambridge. It seems that K-Middy is having just as much an effect on the United States’ wardrobes as she is on ours!
As we all know, Sarah Jessica is a total style icon in her own right after playing Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City. When asked what her favourite Carrie fashion moment was, she replied: “The tutu in Paris. It was a real tutu & I’m sure it was from the Royal Ballet.”
The actress is always a familiar face at London Fashion Week because, as we all know, she loves the British fashion industry for its quirks. However, perhaps she’ll stay at home this year as she thinks that the American fashion industry is getting more daring. She said: “British fashion is more risky but we have some emerging American designers that seem inspired in that direction.”
And will SJP, freshly inspired by Kate Middleton, ever venture into fashion design again? “Definitely if I can figure out what it is I want to do.” Watch this space.

Patricia wants to get her fashion claws into Michelle Obama (left)
Patricia Field, one of the most famous stylists in the world thanks to the magic she weaved over Carrie’s wardrobe in Sex and the City, has admitted that she’s dying to style Michelle Obama.
We think Michelle is the most stylish First Lady since Jackie O, and it seems that Patricia feels the same way. The iconic stylist said: “”Probably at this point I would like to dress Michelle Obama. I think because she’s tall, she’s a classy woman, and I think she dresses fine. But I would still love to get my hands on her. I love the way she presents herself and part of the way she presents herself that I really like a lot is that it’s natural and easy and she’s not trying. I think when she gets dressed up – she could get a little adjustment there. Because she’s so elegant in a way she could be a little more directed in her formal wear – but everyday stuff she’s got it down.”
Watch out Obama, if your wife goes off for a styling session with Patricia Field she might come back covered in animal prints and giant corsages. We’ll love it if that happens, but I’m not so sure if you will. Just be warned..

Patricia is most famous for her work styling Sex and The City
The notoriously fabulous Sex and the City stylist Patricia Field advises aspiring fashionistas that good style doesn’t necessarily equal huge amounts of money.
Field says that anyone can have style on a budget; they just need to find the right style to suit them. “Style is not the equivalent of money. Some people have lots of money and no style – some people have no money and lots of style. Style comes from a different choice – it comes from your philosophy and your job patterns and how you feel. I mean my life is very heavily around people much younger than myself. Young people, they don’t have a lot of money but the young people are the ones with the style. Young people have energy, and old people do not – and that energy translates into interests and getting information – and from all of that you can work out your style.”
The stylist says that the key secret to a stylish wardrobe is having a few classic, staple pieces – the pieces depending on the wearer. She said: “In anyone’s wardrobe there are those key pieces for them that they can’t live without. I could talk about myself, or somebody specific, but in general I would say that the more variation that you offer yourself in your wardrobe – the more combinations you will be able to create because you have more options.”
More variety you say? Well in that case, Patricia, I’ll go and max out my Topshop card right now..

Just when we thought we had enough websites to help us wile away our days another one pops up. But this isn’t just any old site, it’s the queen shopping sites in the shape of Carrie Bradshaw’s closet.
Yes, you read right Sex and The City fans, you can virtually browse the entire contents of Carrie’s wardrobe from your desk.
All you have to do is log onto the official Sex and the City 2 website where you’ll find an image of Carrie’s walk-through closet in her single girl’s New York apartment.
There you’ll find rails and shelves full of her SATC2 outfits and if you scroll across them you’ll not only get info about where they are from but also cheaper alternatives.
Hmmm we have a feeling we might not be doing any work for a very long time…just don’t tell our bosses.

Celebrity Style, Red Carpet

She was the red carpet starlet we were waiting with baited breath for. The one who has made headlines for her perfect fashion choices, and become one of our favourite style icons (although sadly we have to opt for highstreet versions). We’re sure you know exactly who we’re talking about but those who are a bit confused it’s Sarah Jessica Parker.
So did she impress us? Of course she did.
The Sex and the City starlet lit up the red carpet in an on-trend gold floaty (almost 60s) Chanel gown with beading on the shoulders. And she also didn’t disappoint when it came to individuality.
Her frock came complete with what can only be described as a back to front halterneck. Yes that’s right, you read right, the strap went across the front of her neck (think choker style) instead of around the back.
However, Jessica, as much as well loved your dress, we think the make-up was all wrong. Yes it was sixties, yes it tied in with the dress, but we can’t help but think it might have been suited to a night in a Southend nightclub.

Sit down Sex and the City fans, as we think this latest update may just knock you off your Manolo Blahnik clad feet.
While we’re eagerly awaiting the opening of the second film (if you missed the trailer see it here) the cast are back in their heels and filming not one, but two more movies.
According the The Sun this is because Carrie and the rest of the leading ladies, who are all in their 40s, fear that they are beginning to age and won’t look as good in the parts.
Whatever the reason, it’s fantastic news for us SATC fans, although we wouldn’t mind seeing the girls with a few wrinkles, it would make us feel better about ours.

Anticipation is steadily building for the next Sex and the City film, and the release of the first official poster means it’s only going to intensify. Wearing a white dress and weird mirrored aviator sunglasses, Carrie is looking less fashionista, more robot. Add to this the futuristic background, and I began to wonder… Is the new film set in the distant future, featuring android versions of the sassy, cocktail-drinking ladies we’ve come to know so well?
As with the first movie, we’ll be watching it for the outfits, but we think nothing will match some of Carrie’s looks in the first few series – dig out those dvds if you need a reminder. And we’re sure that Sarah Jessica Parker gets to wear more exciting outfits in the film than what she’s wearing here. White jersey is a lot less interesting than fur coats, floral prom dresses and Eiffel Tower bags.
If you’re in the mood for some SATC nostalgia, check out HBO’s galleries of the girls’ best outfits from all 6 series.

Sarah Jessica Parker graces the cover of the upcoming March fashion issue of Harper’s Bazaar in one of my favorite new trends – zippers.
Asked how alterego Carrie Bradshaw would handle today’s recessionary times, Parker said “She would probably end up in a hospital. Perhaps she would go back to her ’80s stuff and start bringing it out again.”
We wonder if it’s as good as Parker’s own ’80s stuff. “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” anyone?
The March issue of Harper’s Bazaar hits newstands February 17. See more here.

You know both Carrie and SJP would encourage you to support the arts. Now when you get your support on at the Met Costume Institute the Sex and the City star will join you in spirit – and voice.
Sarah Jessica Parker will be the voice in the headphones narrating the new audio guide tour on “Costume: The Art of Dress” beginning Nov. 25.
It will surely seem like Carrie’s doing a voiceover as you peruse the 20 pieces of art from the museum’s permanent collection, like historical garments, paintings and sculptures. We wonder if there will be any cute nods to SJP’s most famous role – “When I look at this ancient costume, I can’t help but wonder…”

From our UK fashion blog, Catwalk Queen…
I have a secret to share with you… I have a bit of a crush on Gossip Girl’s Chuck Bass a.k.a Ed Westwick. He isn’t too good-looking like Nate, and too… well, good like Dan, so it must be because he is bad. Hey, I wouldn’t be the first girl in history.

Nevertheless it’s his alternative geek-chic/preppy style that really makes me smile. Only someone like Chuck could get away with such colourful threads, even if yes, the bow ties are a bit much sometimes. That’s why when I saw this picture of him filming in the Hamptons, I had to take a second glance… I had seen those argyle socks somewhere before. Then it hit me – is Chuck Bass the new Carrie Bradshaw?

The day we’ve all been waiting for has finally come and gone. Sex and the City had its New York premiere last night at Radio City Music Hall.
The nice thing is that once we’ve gorged ourselves on red carpet fashion, we still have the movie to see!
Keep reading for details on each woman’s dress.

Anticipation for the Sex and the City movie is really starting to build. One way to feed our fervor?
Putting Carrie on the cover of Vogue’s May issue!
Our sister site Catwalk Queen reports that Sarah Jessica Parker was photographed last week for the cover by Annie Leibovitz (pictured right with SJP). But she hasn’t had an easy time of it, first Sarah took a tumble and had to be helped to her feet by assistants, then she and Chris Noth (aka Mr Big) were hit by a giant wave while being snapped on New York’s East River.
CQ expects to see her in a gorgeous boucle skirt suit and, of course, a couture ballgown. We can’t wait to see the spread!

When we read that Cosabella had made a deal with HBO to create a line of lingerie with the Sex and the City label, all we could think of was that pink contraption Samantha bought and Carrie copycatted to try to heat things up with Berger. Then she was too drunk to properly, um, display the garment when the moment came. When you think about it, Sex and the City really did have a lot of major lingerie moments – from Charlotte trying to inspire Trey to Carrie’s runway stumble in Dolce and Gabbana, left. We’re hoping the Cosabella line falls somewhere between Samantha’s lingerie drawer and a collection of black cotton underwear with Sex and the City stamped on them. But we think we can trust Cosabella to come up with more than your standard licensed fashion.
