Sarah Jessica Parker, known for her timeless portrayal of Carrie Bradshaw in “Sex and the City,” is once again making waves in the fashion world with her bold style choices in the revival series “And Just Like That.” However, Parker’s latest on-set outfits have sparked lively discussions among fans and fashion enthusiasts.
Sarah Jessica Parker is not only an award-winning actress but also a renowned fashion icon. Her role as Carrie Bradshaw in “Sex and the City” was highly influential in the fashion world. Now, with the revival series “And Just Like That,” fans get to see the evolution of Carrie.
Recently, the Golden Globe winner shared an outfit from the set of “And Just Like That” that caused quite a stir online. Parker wore a sheer nude dress, revealing bright orange high-waisted underwear and a black bra underneath.
The sheer dress had roses tucked into the pockets and was paired with a matching see-through coat with bubble sleeves that also had roses, then the look was finished off with a nude heel. Some commenters thought this outfit was not the best representation of a more mature Carrie.
“Yeah, why did they assume her style would be like this in her 50s?” asked one commenter. Another added, “She’s too old.” One person disliked the outfit entirely, saying, “Clothes are horrible, terrible fashion.”
However, not all feedback was negative. Some people loved Parker’s sheer ensemble. “This look is absolutely stunning,” expressed an Instagram user. “Oh, that outfit! Just perfect,” added another. One more person thought it was the ideal spring dress, commenting, “Very beautiful spring dress.”
Parker has shared several behind-the-scenes photos and sneak peeks of her character’s outfits. As an actress unafraid to make bold fashion choices, many of her outfits spark discussion.
Currently, “And Just Like That” is in the middle of shooting its third season. Fans were excited when Parker shared a picture of her script for this year’s table read. While on the "Today Show" the actress said viewers can expect many twists and turns in Carrie's life.
While she might not reveal more about the new season, she is sharing how much fun she's having filming the show. For instance, her next post showed her sitting in her trailer with a big smile on the first day on set, and of course, her outfit stood out.
The actress wore a mint green blouse with a scarf in a different shade of green under the collar, creating a big bow. She paired it with a pink voluminous skirt and green heels. The look was completed with a white purse embellished with rhinestones.
Sarah Jessica Parker shared another eye-catching look from the set, this time a long colorful dress. The top part was a deep maroon, while the skirt featured layers of white, pink, and blue with the sleeves a mix of the same colors.
She paired the flowy dress with white clog sandals, but the real showstopper was her big gingham sun hat. The look was completed with a white tote bag.
Parker does not only showcase her show-stopping looks through her onscreen characters but in some of her public appearances as well. This year the actress stole the show at the Met Gala.
Her outfit not only dazzled in line with the theme "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" but also effortlessly embodied the event's official dress code, "Garden of Time."
Parker wore a cream-colored mid-length dress designed by British designer Richard Quinn. It had intricate details, with white lace adorned with crystals. She paired it with a hat accented by a gold piece on the side, a long pearl necklace, and crystal accessories.
She completed her look with nude heels wrapped in crystal-studded stockings and carried a purse. Netizens were quick to react to her striking look, with some sharing lighthearted commentary.
Some praised her for embodying the spirit of the event, proclaiming her the "Queen of the Met," while others marveled at her brilliance. "You are perfection," a fan said. Another was awestruck, commenting, "My god @sarahjessicaparker, you are stunning."
One fan captured the essence of her look perfectly, stating, "Nailed it! Understood the theme more than anyone." However, the internet wouldn't be complete without a little humor, and playful comments soon emerged.
Observers jokingly referenced her dress's whimsical nature, by writing, "Ma'am, the Kentucky Derby was yesterday." Another teased, "Off to the races," while a witty netizen pondered aloud, "I began to wonder: was I really dressing for the Met, or was I late to the Kentucky Derby? Love it."
Parker's look wasn't just a crowd-pleaser; it was also the product of a thoughtful collaboration with Quinn, pushing the "Garden of Time" dress code to its limits.
She got the idea to approach Quinn after "And Just Like That…" seriescostume designer Molly Rogers suggested involving the British designer in the show’s season three costumes.
Parker first drew inspiration from some artworks at the Sargent and Fashion exhibit at Tate Britain. But she felt that Quinn's collection captured the Met's theme perfectly. "His most recent collection coincidentally had pieces that, in many ways, communicated or inferred the Met theme as we understood it," she said.
According to Quinn, the wireframe was essential for the birdcage style, with hand-cut lace added to give it a floral feel. Crystals sparkling across the lace emphasized the idea of preservation and showed Quinn's love for timeless fashion.
“With this dress, we wanted to play on the idea of preservation; the dress appears so fragile as to be almost ephemeral, but with care and consideration it has been built to last," said Quinn.
