Sarah Jessica Parker pulled out all the stops when she attended the Sex and the City 25th Anniversary Exhibition in Manhattan on Thursday, June 8th – and she championed a New York designer at the same time!
Sarah Jessica Parker Wears Gabriela Hearst Dress
For the event, the 58-year-old SATC star wore a romantic black and white silk 'Lani' dress from the Gabriela Hearst Spring/Summer 2023 collection, featuring a corseted bodice and three-quarter-length puff sleeves. And we think it would definitely get Carrie Bradshaw's seal of approval!
The And Just Like That... actress knows that accessories play a huge part in the overall look, and as expected, she didn’t disappoint with her subtle black Mary Jane pumps and the limited-edition Gabriela Hearst gold, black, and white striped 'Nina' bag, which Vogue reports was named after singer and activist Nina Simone. (Fun fact – everyone from Angelina Jolie to Amal Clooney to Meghan Markle have sported different variations of the 'Nina' bag over the years! And the Duchess of Sussex appears to be a huge fan of the designer, as she stepped out in a stunning monochrome 'Vicky' jumpsuit when she was in New York last year.)
Fan Comments
SJP's fans flocked to various social media accounts to comment on her look. Many fans actually thought her two-toned dress looked somewhat familiar, bearing an interesting resemblance to the blue and black dress Ariel wore in the 1989 Disney classic, The Little Mermaid, while a human Ariel and Prince Eric were exploring his kingdom!
"I LOVE this. It reminds me of Ariel’s blue dress in the animated movie," commented one eagle-eyed fan on the CheckTheTag Instagram account, as another added, "Ariel would look amazing in that." "Love this dress," praised another fan, while another said she was "Gorgeous." We couldn't agree more!
