Sarah Jessica Parker has made a name for herselfin film,on television, andon the stage.
She has amazing fashion sense, and through the years has stood outon the red carpetwith her style choices.
She truly has organically become an expert in the field.
Plus, one of the things that makes Parker so charming is the fact that she is open.
During interviews, she will shareher own insecuritiesand becomes easy for fans to relate to her.
The mystery man was named Willie Garson.
And oddly enough, on the show Garson played Carrie’s gay best friend, Stanford Blatch.
While the date didn’t go anywhere, Parker and Garson did end up with a life-long friendship.
Still, there are some things that are very different between Garson and his character Stanford Blatch.
So when she looks back on certain nights throughout the year, she can specifically remember what she wore.
This also applies to any of her date nights.
She discussed the pressure she felt to wear that perfect outfit, saying, “Yeah.
I always worried, regardless of who the person was.
I went on so few dates that I was very concerned.
And I didn’t have a lot of money, so I had to be creative.
But I remember almost every outfit I’ve ever worn on a date.
That’s how much I thought about it.”
So, what did she wear on her date with John F. Kennedy Jr.?
It was a “black cocktail dress” from Barneys.
And with future husband Matthew Broderick?
“I wore a pair of jeans I had bought from Fred Segal in, like, 1986.
I still have them,” she revealed.
The couple dated for seven years, with Parker eventually breaking up with Downey in 1991.
What many may not know is that Parker did what she could to save the relationship.
She provided me a home and understanding.
She tried to help me.
She was so miffed when I didn’t get my act together."
He understood what happened and, if anything, wanted Parker to be happy.
I was meant to move on.
And, after some heartache, she was meant to find her home with a great star."
Still, not everything was picture perfect; Parker regrets her wedding choice.
No, no, not the groom.
The fashion guru actually looks back on her wedding dress and wishes she did it differently.
She went with a little black dress for the occasion.
It was a party for everybody else."
“I wish I had worn white, or off-white, I should say.”
The star shared just why that look would be her winner these days.
“That silhouette appeals to me because it’s old-fashioned yet can look very modern,” she said.
It was the wedding itself that didn’t go down the normal path.
In fact, guests didn’t even know they were going to a wedding that day.
Then Parker walked down the aisle.
It wasn’t as if they were a new couple rushing into marriage.
In fact, Broderick and Parker dated for five years before even deciding to tie the knot.
I don’t know when or why.
It was fairly early on."
It was a show that pushed boundaries and showed strong women living in New York City.
It also put the focus on the core characters' relationships over the years, including their intimate lives.
That’s not just a coincidence; Parker actually makes it a requirement in her contract.
As she sharedwithThe Hollywood Reporter, “Some people have a perks list and they are legendary.
They have to have white candles in their room.
I don’t have a crazy list like that.
I’ve just always had [a no-nudity clause].”
It’s not that she sees anything wrong with nudity in television and film.
She continued, “I think it’s fantastic that people feel comfortable doing it.
It’s not some kind of principled position or religious or ideological on my part.”
And it doesn’t hurt that she never fails to amaze and impress.
So, it may come as a shock that Parker isn’t always in Manolo Blahnik heels.
In fact, wearing heels isn’t even her preference.Gasp.
The style expert actuallytoldGlamourthat she would pick flip flops over heels any day.
It’s a shocking statement to many, given her iconic character’s obsession with designer heels.
And then I show them I’m wearing flip-flops."
It isn’t that Parker never enjoyed wearing heels, she’s just over it these days.
“I say, ‘I’m old now.
However, Parker almost turned down the role.
She spoke with Jimmy Kimmel about the situation and why she almost passed on the super popular show.
I don’t know I feel like the moment passed.
Like, I feel like maybe I’m not so keen to commit.’
But this is far from how she views herself.
The actress actually still feels very nervous before filming and tends to psych herself out.
I was feeling so awful and ashamed, like I had let the director down.”
And frankly, she’s even more amazing for the simple fact that she is open about these insecurities.
