Sarah Jessica Parker was born March 25, 1965 in Nelsonville, Ohio, to parents Stephen Parker and Barbra Forste. Trained in singing and ballet, Sarah was cast at a young age in the Broadway production of "The Innocents", which prompted her family to relocate to New Jersey. From there she went on to star as Annie in the Broadway production of "Annie". After starring in multiple major films throughout the 80s and 90s, Sarah went on to land her largest role as a star role in HBO series "Sex and the City". As Manhattan sex-columnist Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah took the fashion world by storm both off and on the screen. Her innovative and inventive style grasped magazine pages everywhere. Even while the show is no longer on air, Sarah Jessica Parker continues to identify the cutting edge fashion world with her fresh looks and show stopping outfits. Her marriage to actor Matthew Broderick is one of the most highly publicized marriages in Hollywood today. As one of the most respected and long lasting actresses in Hollywood, Sarah is definitely one we won't be seeing go away anytime soon.
Sarah Jessica Parker seen on Sep 18 2009 in New York, NY. Sarah Jessica Parker was in full Carrie Bradshaw mode as she strutted through the streets of NYC yesterday, September 18, while being hounded by fans, photographers, and crew (I love that paparazzi behind her with that look of desperation in her eyes). For her look, Patricia Field picked out a stunning beaded green dress (for similar options, try Cake Couture's Ikat Print Tank Dress, or Gold Hawk's Sleeveless Flower Eyelet Dress in Horizon or their Tribal Queen Dress in Nile Green) with amazing cobalt, black and grey wavy patterned peeptoe ankle booties, accompanied by a purple, pink and blue snakeskin clutch (for other eyecatching clutches, check out Julie K Handbags' Cosmo Bag in Azure or Moyna Handbags' Embroidered Floral Clutch in Purple/Lime) and a dainty pendant necklace. For her hair, SJP had a loose updo with the bottom half down and wavy. What are your thoughts everyone - how does this look rank up compared to all of the other outfits you've seen so far on set? Ever since filming started on the sure-to-be-a-hit Sex and the City sequel, the crowds surrounding the actresses having gone from crazy to full-on out of control. This had made the security on the film oomph up quite a bit. A source says, "Sarah Jessica's security guards looked more like they were protecting the President than Sarah Jessica Parker. At one point, teenage girls were practically trampling each other trying to get to Sarah Jessica as she was walking back to her trailer, but her security team was shoving everyone out of the way." Yikes! Sounds intense. But then again, I probably would freak out too if I saw SJP in all of her Carrie Bradshaw fabulousness!
Sarah Jessica Parker seen on Sep 01 2009 in New York, NY. "Sex and the City" fans rejoice! Carrie Bradshaw herself, Sarah Jessica Parker, was spotted frolicking on set for the first day of filming the hotly anticipated sequel to the first Sex and the City movie, in NYC on September 1. SJP, or should I say Carrie, was dressed in a breezy white summer dress (check out Woo's Camille Dress in White or Qi's Mesh Ornate V-Neck Dress in Pearl Heather for two similar choices) with shimmering gold Christian Louboutin pumps, super reflective gold aviators and a matching clutch (try Antoinette Lee Designs' Vita Snake Clutch in Gold) with an eye-catching jeweled necklace (check out Amy Digregorio's Maplewood Necklace) to finish things off. What are your initial thoughts on Carrie's first costume change in the film? Are you diggin' it? This sighting also caused a bit of a commotion in the New York Post, as they mistakenly identified her obviously red-soled Loubs as a pair of Jimmy Choos! The horror! The article said, "Parker, wearing angelic white and a pair of gold Jimmy Choo heels with bright red soles, happily cavorted on the Upper East Side before jumping into a cab." Come on now, red soles = Loubs! That's just common fashion sense. A source that was close to the set told Us Weekly, "She comes out as Carrie Bradshaw, puts on her sunglasses, looks around and starts walking. She looks pretty happy to be back at work." I'll bet! SJP must have so much fun coming back to this character that is so dear to everyone's hearts... is anyone out there just dying for the second film?
Sarah Jessica Parker seen on Jul 18 2009 in Bridgehampton, NY. Stepping out for charity, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick left their new twin babies with the nanny and made their way to Bridgehampon, NY on July 18 for an AIDS Community Research Initiative of America (ACRIA) charity event held at photog Stephen Klein's sprawling estate. While it's good for them to put on a happy face, Sarah and Matt are looking just a little too picture perfect here, don't you think? I can't help but look at them together and want to paste Big's face over Matt's – now THAT would be a cute couple! In true Carrie Bradshaw style, SJP arrived at the "Cocktails at Sunset" event styled to perfection. Although the charity benefit was hosted by Calvin Klein and Vanity Fair, SJP chose to wear a stunning Temperly London strapless dress with a ruched bodice and gold zipper front (for similar strapless looks, check out Rachel Pally's Iris Dress in Periwinkle or Rebecca Taylor's bold Tequila Bingo Dress in Kiwi), accenting the frock with a layered gold chain necklace (Robyn Rhodes' Grace Necklace in Gold is timeless) and a few bangles. Her studded Miu Miu platforms are gorgeous, but I truly adore her beaded floral clutch pulling the 'fit together. Do you think she's completely working this look or am I misguided? At the event, SJP and MB snacked on grilled cheese and sliders apps (carbs are finally making a comeback!) while mingling with Calvin Klein designers Francisco Costa and Italo Zucchelli hoping to score some new threads. If you’re thinking they both look it a little worn out, it probably has something to do with the arrival of their twin girls born a month ago. While the fam has been settling in with the new babies, Sarah and Matthew are unfortunately dealing with a legal scandal surrounding their surrogate mother. The poor woman had her Ohio house broken into while she was 8 months pregnant by greedy cops looking to dig up dirt to sell to the tabloids. Police chiefs Barry Carpenter and Chad Dojack were arrested on July 28 and arraigned on several counts of burglary and tampering with evidence, which could land them in the pen for 14-21 years. When news of the burglary broke in June, MB's publicist commented: "Matthew and Sarah Jessica have complete faith in the legal system. But because it's a criminal investigation, we will not be making any more comment. What I can say is the entire family looks forward to the healthy delivery of their daughters later on this summer." At least justice is on its way to being served, but what a terrible mess for SJP to deal with!
Sarah Jessica Parker seen on Jan 04 2009 in New York, NY. Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted with hubby Matthew Broderick and son James Wilkie leaving the final performance of Hairspray on Broadway at the Neil Simon Theatre in NYC on January 4, which featured original cast members Harvey Fierstein and Marissa Jaret Winokur. For an outfit inspired by SJP's chic getup, start with an electric blue velvet jacket, like Elizbeth Gillett Ltd's cropped version, the Lydia Velvet Jacket in Blue), and pair with a long, sheer button-up blouse (take your pick of Zoa's Long Cotton Shirt with Pleating in White or LaROK's flirtier Colette Top in Pearl). Next up, pick a classic pair of trousers (similar to Joe's Jeans' Button Welt Trouser in Morter), a cozy grey cashmere sweater (like Autumn Cashmere's Kimono Flare Sleeve Top in Cement) and a Chanel bag, and you'll be good to go! For those of you "Sex and the City" fans (and fiends), SJP is speaking out about her alter ego and the fact that she doubts that Carrie will ever be with child. She says, "Motherhood doesn't seem as if that's going to be a choice she'll make. It feels a little bit manipulative to toss that into the mix because she seems so pointed in a different direction." I do say I'd have to agree, although I do think that Carrie would make a great mother. What do you think - in the sequel slated for 2010, do you think Carrie should get pregnant with Big?
Sarah Jessica Parker seen on Sep 10 2008 in New York, NY. Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted strolling the streets of New York City, chatting away on her cell phone on September 10, after walking son James to school. Looking casual cool in a slouchy pair of pinstripe denim (check out Tag Jeans' Bootcut Trouser in Silver) paired with a violet tee (like Ecoganik's Jersey Love Top in Orchid) and vintage denim vest with a large "BARACK N ROLL" patch on the back, SJP always manages to rock it, even when she trows an outfit together quickly. She finished off her look with an over-the-shoulder canvas bag, oversized sunglasses (check out JeeVice Optics' Egoist Sunglasses in Black), and brown leather sandals (like Matiko Footwear's Karla Sandal in Brown). If you are a "SATC" fan, you might be excited to learn that the word is spreading that author Candace Bushnell is writing a prequel to "Sex," that will take place during Carrie's high school years! Candace wants readers to have a peek into Carrie's adolescence which turned her into who she was in the original book and on the show. Bushnell says, "I've always been interested in exploring Carrie's teenage years. Carrie in high school did not follow the crowd- she led it. It was there that she began observing and commenting on the social scene." Very interesting! Harper Collins, the publishers of the book, say, "Teenagers are rabid fans of the 'Sex and the City' book and show. I can't wait to see what happens when Candace turns her sharp eye for social commentary to the other competitive jungle that is high school." What do you think- will you be reading??
Sarah Jessica Parker seen on Sep 08 2008 in New York, NY. Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted leaving her West Village brownstone on September 8, after spending some quality time with her family on a long vacation after finishing up all of her promotional responsibilities for the Sex and the City Movie. To steal SJP's casual yet chic look, start with a pair of skinny grey denim (like Joe's Jeans' Button Fly Chelsea Jean in Angelica) and cuff them to show off a killer pair of black heels. Next up, pair a blue silk cami (like Black Halo's Contrast Cami in Indigo) with a patterned scarf (similar to Alchemy's Paisley Scarf in Grey) and black sunnies (check out Nour's Madaar Sunglasses in Oro Bianco). SJP's finishing touches were a striped oversized bag and a thick silver cuff (similar to Michele Michel Jewelry's Hammered Cuff in Silver) that perfectly completed her 'fit. In exciting Sarah Jessica news, Us Weekly is reporting this week that the SATC sequel is in the works! An insider says, "Film execs are eager to get Sarah Jessica, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis on board. They're starting to negotiate salaries." Hooray! I for one am a huge SATC fan and any chance to see these characters in action is one I'm definitely on board for!
Sarah Jessica Parker seen on Aug 20 2008 in London, England. Sarah Jessica Parker, hubby Matthew Broderick and little son James Wilkie were spotted strolling through Heathrow Airport in London on their way to Istanbul, Turkey, after a fun trip in Ireland. Forget Carmen San Diego- where in the world is SJP?? For her casual airport look, Parker paired a cardigan (check out Sydney Los Angeles' 3/4 Sleeve Cardigan in Vanilla Cream) with a tank (like Ella Moss' Daphne Tank in Caramel), a blue patterned scarf (Alchemy's Unicorn Scarf in Blue is similar) and vintage-wash denim (like Kasil Jeans' Mimi Straight Leg Jean in Pacific Destroyed). Add in the oversized shades and flip flops, and you've got an airport 'fit fit for a "Sex and the City" star! In other SJP news, it seems that Sarah dished to press recently about how she loves high heels more than she does sex. When asked if she preferred stilettos to a sensual seduction, she said, without pause, "Yes!" She went on to say, "I could run a marathon in heels and wake up the next day and run another one!" What do you think, ladies- if you had to choose between the two, would you side with Sarah?
Sarah Jessica Parker seen on Jul 30 2008 in Manhattan, New York. Despite rumors of alleged infidelity, "Sex and the City" star Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted leaving a midtown Manhattan restaurant with her husband of 11 years, Matthew Broderick. Wearing a basic jeans-and-a-tee outfit, SJP and Matthew were bombarded by photogs as they left their dinner. For her outfit, start with a pretty blue tank (like P.G.D. Style's Fancy Tank in Bonnie Blue) and pair with greyish-blue skinnies (check out Joe's Jeans' Button Fly Chelsea Jean in Angelica) and metallic flip flops. Accessory wise, SJP chose a black pearl necklace (like Brian Nagourney Jewelry's Lariat Necklace in Black Pearl) and a tan leather bag (similar to Rough Roses' Jewel Satchel in Tan), along with a yellow cardigan that she held in one hand. While it has been rumored that Matthew cheated on Sarah with a twenty-something young woman, a source is telling Star Magazine that "Sarah and Matthew have been struggling for years. Now that news of Matthew’s cheating has broken, they have decided to make things work- especially for the sake of their son, James." What do you think, is it a good idea to stay together for a child's sake?
Sarah Jessica Parker seen on May 03 2008 in New York, NY. Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted leaving her NYC hotel along with her "Sex and the City" co-stars Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon on May 3, as the ladies were in town for a promotional junket for their upcoming flick, Sex and the City. Not sure if you've heard of it or not, it's kind of a small film that's not getting much buzz. SJP opted for all black, starting with a chic black coat and pairing with zippered cropped denim (just like James Jeans' Alex Skinny Zip Crop Jean in Black), black leather ankle booties and an eye-catching gold pearl necklace (check out Kuo Ting Jewelry's similarly stunning Japanese Pearl Long Necklace in Gold). At the junket, Sarah Jessica told press that "we wanted to tell the story of who these women are now, and what it is to be a woman in your 40's and still have great love." Well put. Cynthia Nixon also chimed in, saying, "These women, the] are the ultimate female superheroes. It’s just that, instead of, you know, capes, they have bags and shoes." So true, so true. What do you think- will you be sippin' on your Cosmos and then lining up to see this flick? I know I will!
Sarah Jessica Parker seen on Mar 31 2008 in New York, NY. Sarah Jessica Parker attended the screening of her new flick Smart People hosted by the Cinema Society & Linda Wells at the Landmark Sunshine Theater in New York City on March 31 looking like the radiant fashion risk-taker that she is known to be. SJP started her outfit with a pair of shiny black skinny jeans (for those of you looking for a great pair of basic black skinnies, check out James Jeans' Tom 5 Pocket Jean in Black Twill) and paired with a dark blue silk tunic (similar to Ziji's Alice Tunic in Blue) under a hot pink cropped coat (Amberlynn's Cropped Swing Jacket in Canary is a fun version in a vibrant yellow hue). Sarah Jessica accessorized with metallic silver heels, a leopard clutch (like Julie K Handbags' Cosmo Leopard Bag) and a questionable feather slash fan pin? I'm not even going to try and wrap my mind around that one. Many gals have often wondered what SJP's diet secret is that keeps her in these super skinny jeans... and she has finally revealed what it is: she doesn't have one! People is reporting that Sarah says she eats anything and everything, and quoted her as saying, "I'm just an eater. If it's free, I honestly eat everything. Last night I had steak and some lamb shank. And I had some roasted chicken and some cassoulet and some profiteroles and some ice cream and some cheesecake." I love the part about how if it's free she'll eat it... classic. Wow this post just made me hungry.
Sarah Jessica Parker seen on Jan 22 2008 in Park City, Utah. Sarah Jessica Parker, along with hubby Matthew Broderick, made her way throughout Park City, UT this past week to help celebrate her film in the Sundance Film Festival. Smart People was debuted this year at the festival starring Sarah alongside Dennis Quaid and Ellen Page. On Tuesday, January 22, Sarah attended the premiere with her cast looking lovely as always in her warm snow gear. Sarah began her chic rocker look with a pair of vintage biker boots over a pair of charcoal tapered jeans (check out Denim of Virtue's Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Jean in Dark Grey). On top, SJP decorated herself in white and black pearls over a low neck black cashmere top (just like Autumn Cashmere's U Neck Tunic Sweater in Black). Sarah Jessica then accessorized her look with a black leather handbag (check out Aaneta's The Wave Small in Café with Stress). Sarah has been making sure to keep herself busy lately with two huge debut films. While Smart People is debuting nationwide at the Sundance Film Festival, Sarah is currently working on finishing the filming of big-screen feature Sex and the City, playing everybody's favorite, Carrie Bradshaw. Alongside the original HBO cast, the film is expected to be one of this summer's biggest blockbusters. The trailer is already creating a stir and plenty of buzz for the upcoming feature, making it one of the most viewed videos currently on YouTube. After being known as the fashion forward friend on the "Sex and the City" television series, it will be interesting to see what new trends Carrie Bradshaw will debut this time around when the movie launches. Get the cosmos ready!
Sarah Jessica Parker seen on Dec 10 2007 in Beverly Hills, CA. Eternally stylish Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted in Beverly Hills on December 10, heading into the offices of New Line Cinema in a fashionable outfit that is classic SJP. Wearing a fitted black blazer (like LaROK's cropped version, the Rebecca Cropped Jacket in Black) with a vibrant indigo top, skinny black jeans (check out Deener's Charmer Skinny Corduroy in Black), a black leather bag and her favorite accessory of the season, her leopard print Louis Vuitton scarf, Sarah Jessica always remains a step ahead of the trends as she immediately became the envy of women everywhere with her to-die-for pair of blue suede peeptoe platform Christian Louboutins. Talk about outfit perfection! Rumor has it that SJP is in Los Angeles to film scenes for the hotly anticipated "Sex and the City" movie, and will be filming in Malibu along with the other three "Sex"-y girls. According to E! Online, "scenes will take place there, but parts of the ritzy beach community may also be stand-ins for Mexico's playground for the rich and famous, Cabo San Lucas. There's also talk they'll actually do some shooting in Cabo." Hmm... wonder what trouble the gals will be getting into in Cabo? I'm guessing that Samantha will be up to her usual tricks while Miranda takes Brady to the beach for the first time. Might Carrie and Big be honeymooning in this tropical locale? One can hope!
