Sarah Jessica Dresses Up and Everyone Signs Onto SATC2!

PopSugar — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 14:30:28 -0800

The closest Carrie Bradshaw got to magazine editing was writing freelance for Vogue, but inside the March issue of Harper's Bazaar Sarah Jessica Parker channels the look of legendary editor of both publications, Diana Vreeland, for a photo shoot. SJP sat down to chat about her new trio of upcoming fragrances, her family and her fashion. Here's more:

On fashion: "I don’t have the Carrie Bradshaw passion and devotion to it, but I would much prefer that life would allow for a beautiful shoe all day long. To stand in Mr. de la Renta’s atelier and have him build a dress on you, that is amazing. And honestly, it's a great honor to be able to borrow something that weighs 40 pounds and requires three people to help you walk."
On what she can't live without: "My son! My husband! Food! Oh, fashion? I don’t know. A good bra?"
On regretting her black wedding dress and wanting to wear white if she gets a do-over: "I’m not kidding. White it up. I’d wear a beautiful, proper wedding dress, like I should have worn on the day. James Wilkie's teacher is getting married, and he said, 'Do you think she will be wearing black?' I said, 'No! I can almost assure you.' Then he said, 'Do you still regret it?' and I said, 'Yes, I still regret it.'"
Some advice from SJP: "Don't surround yourself with bodyguards and SUVs, and return everything you are loaned in the shape in which you received it - unless you have to cut yourself out of it! Return jewelry, return bags, clean out the bags! I would say, try to be kind. I know what it’s like to get up the courage to approach somebody, to tell them how much you admire them. Why don't you . . . be decent?"

SJP is focusing on her fragrances at the moment, but she'll soon get back into Carrie's couture as she and the other ladies of SATC just officially signed on for the sequel!

A Few Fab Words With the Newest Sex and the City Star, Jennifer Hudson

FabSugar — Thu, 15 May 2008 08:00:22 -0700

At a recent press junket, the stars of the Sex and the City movie spilled everything we want to hear about their characters, on-screen wardrobes, as well as their personal style. I know you're dying to hear what the veteran foursome had to say, but let's first start with newcomer Jennifer Hudson.

Did you take away any new fashion tips?

It was amazing working with her [Patricia Field]. That was an experience in itself, just watching her work. She sits at the desk so carelessly, and just says, give me that, throw that with this, and this with that, and comes up with this huge concoction of a Sex and the City outfit that is fabulous. You’re sitting there like, "OK, I didn’t know you could put those shoes with that and that color with this," and it's just a whole brand new level of fashion to me. It definitely makes you want to experiment and that’s what I try to do.

Are you going to get a lifetime supply of rent-a-bags [from Bag Borrow or Steal]?

You know what? I hope so. I’m thinking if you all write about it, then maybe that will happen!

What was your first designer bag and pair of shoes?

I know my first designer bag was Dooney and Bourke, if that counts. I can’t remember shoes. I have so many bags and so many pairs of shoes I could open a store. I have to move out of myself because I have too many pairs. I wear them if I have to, but I’m not a shoe fan at all. I love bags. My top bags are my Jimmy Choo, my Valentino, and my YSL; those three are my favorites.

Do you do a lot of shopping while you are in NY?

Yes, I do. I have a shopping problem. I need Carrie Bradshaw’s closet, the one that’s in the movie. That’s exactly what I need. And it's still not enough. So I need one just for my shoes, and one for all my clothes. Now I have to move out of my house because I have too many clothes. In this business, you can really only wear it once. So once I wear something, and then it's like, I’ll hold onto this, and then before you know it, it piles up and piles up.

I Want This Wardrobe: Sex and the City Movie

FabSugar — Fri, 30 May 2008 16:00:22 -0700

In case you've been MIA, the whole Sugar gang finally saw the Sex and the City movie. But don't worry, I'm not going to utter a word about the story line. What I am going to open my trap about are the wardrobes of the fabulous foursome, courtesy of Patricia Field. Almost all of Carrie's outfits were dead on and gush worthy, but it was a little strange to see Miranda always dressed up and accessorized. I guess she's grown up and now appreciates fashion! Because I'm Fab, I was instantly able to identify what each character was wearing as soon as I saw it. Not! Let's just say I have friends in high places who were amazing enough to share their wealth of wardrobe knowledge. And what an excessive amount of wealth it is - dive in!

Which Shoes Are Craziest?

GiggleSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 04:00:00 -0700

We know that women's clothes and shoes say a lot about their place in society. Stilettos, although they can signify power by looking so tough, can also hobble all but the most stalwart Carrie Bradshaws of the world. (And how powerful can you look with wobbly ankles or falling on your face?) But some seriously bizarro shoe trends threaten to send us to the emergency room, or in some cases, the psych ward. (Posh, dear, those boots were not made for walking.) What the hell is going on with these shoes and which shoes do you think are the craziest?

A Few Fab Words With Sex and the City's Sarah Jessica Parker

FabSugar — Fri, 30 May 2008 11:00:22 -0700

They say, save the best for last. Sorry to keep you waiting, but it will all be worth it once you hear what SJP had to say about the Sex and the City movie wardrobe. From the very beginning, Carrie was the fashion maverick, the one who dared to wear anything and everything. Her style rebellion paid off in the end because the name Carrie Bradshaw will forever be uttered by the mouths of millions. Oh, how I will miss seeing her innovative outfits. Sniff.

Don't forget to catch up on what the rest of the cast had to say about SATC's fashion.

Did you get to keep everything from the movie?

Everything that wasn’t borrowed. It's archived, and I had done that over the course of the series, which had really been beneficial actually, because when we had to go back in and shoot, and shoot that montage of all that stuff it was really great to have Carrie's closet available for that moving out stuff. There was a time that the montage included all of the women in my clothes dancing around and they really did put on my character’s outfits from those times. And I had actually archived a lot of the furniture, so it was kind of nice to have, as ludicrous as it may sound.

What are you wearing today, head to toe?

Hair is my own; dress is Lanvin; belt is my own, old Yves Saint Laurent; necklace, earrings Fred Leighton; shoes are Proenza Schouler; and some vintage bracelets from the thrift store.

To hear more from SJP and to see on-screen photos, read more.

Favorite outfit from the movie?

Can’t pick one, won’t. I love that belt though. Favorite child?

Did Carrie’s fashion change or evolve? Any input on the role of fashion in the movie?

It changed just the way we all change as we get older. Most of these women in the movie now really are not on the market, so they just dress differently. You get older and you just feel differently about it, I do. I see the connective tissue between then and now. It is more mature. It still demonstrates a love affair for fashion. I was part of the conversation to the degree that I started begging Pat to come back in May, and then in June and then July, because she was booked on all of these other shows. But that didn’t stop me; we started talking about wedding dresses in June because we knew how complicated that would be. I am part of the conversation but she is great storyteller with clothes. We call her the wizard because you end up trying anything on for her, even the most ridiculous and insane thing, and generally it is two in the morning and you are just so beaten down by then. But she is just great, she is amazing and we really couldn’t have done it without her.

Where do you find your confidence?

I don’t really have much. I think anything that is associated with this movie, this show I just feel I have unique and very special relationship with it. I was trying to explain earlier today that it's kind of like I would rather be cold and look good, I would rather wear heels and run down the block for fourteen hours and in six months see it on the screen and think yeah, it should have been heels running down the street running after that cab. Or, rather put, if I’m taken away from my child and I’m making this choice, I would rather put every ounce of myself into something; I can sleep June 12th. Michael and I, I think it is one of the many reasons I love him and we work so well together, is that we don‘t want to waste anyone’s time. A lot of people have put their faith and their time and their talent and their money in our hands, and that is every reason to work. Michael is always like, I will pull you bleeding across that finish line. And I’m like, I’m going to be in full stride buddy. You have to be a thoroughbred about it if you care.

Was the jewelry your own on Oprah?

The jewelry on Oprah were from VBH and Fred Leighton. And the dress was Mr. [Oscar] del la Renta. I had to give it back to him.

On My Way To a Fab Closet, Part III

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:00:22 -0700

The most fabulous news: My Fab closet is done! I wanted to make sure it was in tip top order before I did my big reveal. I also had to go the The Container Store to get some boot fillers, skirt hangers (the kind with the multiple hang) and some plastic containers for under my bed storage. All my clothes have been analyzed and some have been tossed to the consignment shop curb - buh-bye! There are still a few questionable items - maybe you all can help me determine their fate? So I really didn't need to do much but put on my organizing Philip Treacy hat when filling it up.

As you can see, I am a color coordinator. I also group items by type; dresses together, tops, jeans etc. I fold my jeans, I don't hang them, btw. What are my favorite parts of the newly improved closet? That's easy: The shoe shelves! Also, all the hanging space. I have lots of dresses, tops and jackets and now everything has a home. But the best part of all is that I can see all my clothes. The only things hiding are seasonal sweaters and costumes. The belt rack and scarf rack are cool too; I've been wearing more of both as a result. I must confess that I also have two dressers. The burgundy one houses my sunglasses, underthings, socks and tights. The big purple one hides jewelry, pj's, cotton basics, tee shirts and sweaters. And, I have a coat rack for grab-and-go jackets and hoodies.

To read the rest and to see more pics of my Fab closet, read more

OK, it's obvious I have a lot of clothes. But this experience has opened my eyes as to what my personal style is. I believe one's style is always evolving - especially for a fashion chameleon - but there were definitely some Fab staples. Allow me to share them with you. I have about ten LBDs as well as oodles of navy and red dresses. Don't let me buy anymore! I love sharp outerwear. Given the foggy climate of San Francisco, I have tons of jackets and coats, but I wear them all. I swear. When I used to live in New York City I had more coats and I started collecting vintage coats and restoring them so I still have a few that I will love forever. I just wear them Carrie Bradshaw style: with a sexy little LBD (see!), strappy heels and a clutch.

Black is most people's neutral, mine is grey. Another thing I don't need to buy more of: grey cardigans and sweaters. I have every kind of pant imaginable: black trouser, black pinstripe, jeans (cropped, wide leg, skinny, black, grey, white), grey trouser, khaki trouser, black cropped, black bermudas. Hmmm, maybe black is my neutral after all. In general, I need to wear more slacks! Carine Roitfeld wears them all the time, so color me inspired. Also, I am more of a shoe junkie than a bag lady. I really don't think I have that many bags, PartySugar. Except, my clutch collection (mostly vintage) is quite fabulous.

Here's the fun part: My favorite brands. I guess there's no other way of uncovering them than raiding your closet. Here goes: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Banana Republic, Theory, H&M, DKNY, J.Crew, Target GO International (lots of pieces from the Proenza Schouler collection last year), BCBG, Miu Miu, Nanette Lepore, DVF, See by Chloe, Paul and Joe, J Brand jeans. As for shoes, I have lots of Marc Jacobs and Marc, KORS Michael Kors, Nine West and Belle Sigerson Morrison. Heels have tapered off for me, I am an official lover of flats. Vintage rules my coats, sandals, clutches and jewelry.

So what's next? I don't have much extra room - this is a good thing. Now that I've been reacquainted with a lot of my clothes I don't feel I need to shop much. But you know me. I have a few shoe slots available, some jacket space and I'm not really happy with my boot collection so come next Fall I may invest in a new pair. Maybe some grey ones . . .
