With the world premiere of “Sex and the City 2” just a little over a week away, Sarah Jessica Parker is on a wardrobe spree while promoting what is sure to be a blockbuster hit. On Friday, she was spotted in Central Park conducting an interview clad in a blue patterned silk dress and black tissue jersey shirt from Proenza Schouler’s Fall 2010 collection. Keep in mind, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez channeled a buttoned-up woman for fall, layering her with staple pieces that verged on collegiate (the black and white inkblots shown sporadically throughout the collection, meanwhile, was inspired by the artist Christopher wool). Personally, I think the dress itself is very cute and girly–but I don’t necessarily like it when paired with the bag and evening tuxedo jacket. Maybe she was cold, so I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt. Also, while I’m a big fan of baby blue and thus was immediately attracted to this dress, does anyone else think SJP needs to dress a bit more age appropriate? She has a killer body and is style savvy, but what I wouldn’t give to see her in a chic Jil Sander pantsuit with a fabulous brooch. After a certain age–Carrie Bradshaw or not–a woman’s just got to give it a rest.
I don’t think she looks so great in this dress. But come on Mansnob a pantsuit! She is not that old. I think her stylist likes to push the envelope sometimes. There are so many great dresses out there she could have worn and looked great in like Roland Mouret or Balenciaga.
fabulous outfit, fabulous!!!
How sexist. I assume it’s acceptable for a man to wear whatever he wishes no matter his age? I don’t like this particular outfit, but she’s fabulous enough to wear what she wants.
I love SJP, but I do not like this outfit. There are so many prettier choices.
Finally, someone has to courage to call SJP on dressing out of her appropriate age group.
It is refreshing to hear these comments, and I am all for high end risky fashion, but c’mon,
it would be, in my opinion, time to reel it in a bit. I can be rather conservative when it comes
to skirt lengths on women over forty, I haven’t shown a knee since I left that decade.
Had the dress been four inches shorter, and the purse more classic, and the jacket left behind, maybe this outfit would have had a chance. There are plenty of fantastic designs out there that would be more flattering on her.
On another woman, maybe it would have been a Slob. But there’s just something about how SJP carries herself that makes anything she wears (whether as herself or as Carrie–hello, those see-through shirts with neon bras!) fab. I think it’s how she doesn’t seem to be taking fashion too seriously–she wears what she likes and has fun with it.
