Sarah Jessica Parker Breaks Down 17 Looks From 1987 to Now | Life in Looks | Vogue

both my daughter's hands went to their mouths and they were like mama you're on the cover of vogue hi vogue this is sarah jessica parker and this is a fraction of my life and looks every single thing on me is from a vintage store with the exception of whatever's in my hair and apologies for that i did it that day i'm sure there was a diffuser involved and some 10x we can talk about that on another um my master class and hair from 19 what would this be 85 maybe i don't recognize this person i don't understand the sunglasses in particular i think they're awful on me i think once again it's not the fault of the glasses large the earrings are a mystery to me i don't know if i saw that like in a movie from 1947 the period at the end of the sentence is the the peace necklace she showed up in a lot i mean i didn't i didn't take her off and i used to sign everything like if somebody asked me for my signature i always signed i always signed wage peace love sarah jessica anyway that i still have that necklace i think there's a whole interesting conversation about influence and a collective kind of thing that happens without influence and i'd been shopping at thrift shops for a long time just like on my own because it was a necessity you know madonna and cindy loper hadn't surfaced but i was wearing like big rayon dresses from the 40s like that's just what i did so this dress is a donna karen dress that i know once again i'm not making excuses but like i i would never wear this dress like i would never wear this dress but i am wearing this dress and i know that that's me and i cannot pretend that it's anybody else like it's a perfectly constructed dress the idea of it was amazing it is carrie in that moment but even that i don't think is entirely carry i think there's another dress that is as kind of body conscious as this one but feels more so carry this dress is sort of like its own to me it's like its own universe and it kind of like moves around like it's just very interesting to me um and the shoes are probably manolos my guess typically yes yes i'm familiar with this outfit what can i tell you what do you want to know because it's not me really this is carrie a lot of people claim they have the tutu i think pat has one michael patrick has one we just used one so my guess is that that sequence required a splash that there were probably four or five or six these were jimmy choo shoes i'm pretty confident this was a tank top you know a nothing tank top we didn't do a lot of takes we rehearsed it we timed it as you do you know you kind of get all the pieces together without you know adding the liquid you know it's like that's kind of how you do it and then you go for it and i think we got it done probably in one or two takes when you're doing a scene where you're getting splashed or you're falling into say a reser a lake in central park you have to find something that has multiples so but it can't just simply be multiples it has to be artistically sartorially like it has to fit a lot of criteria so my guess is that pat and i as we always did talked about a bunch of choices and at the end of the day this is where we landed tank top tutu and heels so there were a lot of these which explains why people all claim to have i don't think i have do i have a tutu i do so i have i have it i'm gonna just should it get cut to the chase where is it who's got it i've got it turn the page you're bored yet all the flower pins are in my possession they went to and just like that they went back into carrie's closet there are pins there are non pins there are flowers on you know a bobby pin and i have some of my own and i still have a little drawer in my own closet that's just sentimental i i wear them sometimes or i stick them in my hair i'll stick them on a bun i'm very happy with that mr de la renta made this for me i love this dress and yes i you know wouldn't wear feathers today my favorite memory is himself always so invested and always cared and always took care of details but also it's just like always smelled good looked good knew how to kind of be in a salon very old-fashioned ideas about a client and a customer and this was laura mercier makeup these were fred leighton earrings which was such a big deal for me to borrow but what i remember so much about this night was that um after the awards were over when we came back and people were gathered and eating and laura mercier said to me 24-hour guarantee before i left she was always like 24 hour guarantee and i was like she's right it was hours and hours and hours and hours later and my makeup was still like i love this i think i've seen criticism of it enjoy have fun um this was like a sag award event i think this was prada you get to borrow something you like you think it speaks to you at a moment in a place and a time for an event and you wear it and maybe some people think you don't look amazing and that's certainly their right i think the difference is that we all walk out the door every single day most of us try to make a choice that makes us feel good or like ourselves or appropriate for where we're going or who we're going to be with we don't go walk up to each other and say things like oh awful so what's so funny to me about this is like how much chatter it provokes because i'm like but it's just a thing it's just an outfit that happened because that person liked it so what's the point of the criticism we're all just kind of like making an attempt every day to offer ourselves up to another person i can tell you everything that i can know about this outfit okay that is not a real hermes bag just so you know pat like had a person and she was like do you want one i can get you one no i don't really not no i don't need one but this isn't real the dress is real the dress is real and it's juicy couture super pregnant did our very best to look how big that bag is i mean that bag had one job to do and did it very poorly maybe if it was a real hermes bag it would have done a better job colors i typically wouldn't wear very bold i didn't really get to dress that much as myself when i was pregnant because i was working so much of the time when i was pregnant but when i was you know in my own life pregnant i mostly wore overalls um this cover i don't think i'm fit to comment on it it's a cover of oak steven mizelle well we were you know post september 11th so we were all different um i had a child i probably was just living more civilian i was probably attempting to live you know i'd taken a little bit of time off and i mean i'm a new yorker so life was like a new yorkers you know christine's etc this last shot of saxon city i remember this day so well i brought that scarf from home pat loved it that shoe we wore a lot in a bunch of silhouettes that's manolo red sort of like more almost like it's barely red it's like vermilion slash going into like tomato carrie was a much more courageous dresser than i am much more fevered relationship with fashion much more indulgent you know i kind of a much more of an observer most of the time and then occasionally i get to dip in and like participate like i wouldn't have been so brave like i wouldn't have shown so much but that's not a judgment it's just different i just want to say that this day i didn't read this last scene until i was on my way to the set because i did not know i did not want to know how the show ended and only when i read the last page did i see john called that that was the first time the name was revealed to me like i'm going to say six minutes before they called action this is annie leibowitz for sure and i'll tell you why i know annie always likes hair that way i'm much more inclined to simply fit into what has been in her brain because she does so much prep she really goes into a space ahead of time she's there for two or three days she has such specific ideas about pillows and fabric and lights and stacks and layers and dimension like we feel it is our job to figure out where we fit into like the tableau and i say that with respect and aberration and a huge amount of personal pride that i have had so many experiences with her and i work as hard now as i did the first time like i won't stop trying i almost can't talk about it i love this so much i it's been made clear to me that not everybody felt the same way about the stress which maybe makes me feel even more affection for it the bird i'm not gonna repeat the bird story i think everybody knows the bird story but the conversation was this bird i saw it and i thought it was magnificent what was so crazy to me about this was were the colors like the colors are especially in person like you can't tell we knew how we felt about it and it like many things it didn't have like we couldn't throw ourselves in front of the court and make a really reasoned argument like we had every possibility of losing the case didn't share or discuss with michael patrick king in advance which was you know not fair it was a little bit of an ambush and when i came to the set he was like why is there a bird on your head and i was like look at the bird you would have made the same decision of course you know he argued against and he he wins a lot for good reason like there's a whole thing that's happening always in his head he knows stuff that i don't know often which i don't want to know but we won and um and then of course he put it in i think later on she was like i put i had a bird on my head zach posen made this dress for the ballet love this dress absolutely this fabric you can't do right by it in a picture was like had a switch inside it love these shoes these shoes are called rogue sjp collection they're a beautiful shoe they're comfortable shoe they're gorgeous and they're naughty see there's this color rish and there's this color candy or fuchsia i just love i loved everything about it i loved that night and it was for the ballet so that was a big deal for the new york city ballet annie leibowitz my husband and i two years ago shooting for vogue to talk about plaza suite which i'm running to rehearsal in about you know 15 minutes to go first this is inside the hudson theater i think the oldest theater on broadway redone and he had her fastest though like this was a fast shoot inside that theater and my handsome husband hey um you know what's carrie shuffling around and during the you know the darkest days of the pandemic when it didn't matter and she had to run to the deli or run to smilers or grab something and you know what did she throw on her feet that she could wear with a tube sock or a woolen sock or tights or naked or bear whatever this was written because of one of the writers own personal stories about when they were smoking and trying not to be seen smoking they put actually on a hoodie zipped all the way up with the hood like super tight around their face and they wore playtex kitchen you know dish gloves and big sunglasses because they didn't want to be seen by their neighbors but they would only walk around smoking and i was like i get what you want and i but it's not a hoodie and this it's something else so i love this batshiva gingham housecoat and i was like well let's do this version of that and then we found these three vintage scarves and i just started piling piling piling oh this is like yesterday fernando and laura for oscar de la renta and this dress has such an interesting quick story because this pink wasn't there initially there was other tool and as we had these couple of fittings this evolved into this all the embroidery the sequins were all done out of the country it was a big deal and he did it so fast and i just think it's a perfect dress absolutely perfect i loved it this is me going to work downtown these are all my own clothes from my closet this is an old dress that i found at the thrift shop it's kind of basically like a dirndl and i love it because i can wear anything underneath it this is an old shirt that i got from a thrift shop that i love but i cut off the collar because it's too high for me this is a purchase of mine this is oola johnson and i love this coat so freaking much these are socks i've had for a really long time that gucci gave me years ago but i just keep wearing them this is our shoe our sjp collection shoe that's file or grosgrain the entire body is and it's called um lady and she's a classic she's never green i like wearing whatever i like and i tend to not worry too much about if it matches and the mask is not not okay i love this cover and i can't tell you why specifically except i'll just say one thing about it which i think is so interesting is that when sergio and anna sent it over early like a couple days before well what we thought was going to be its proper release i showed it to my daughters which i never do anything like that you know magazines aren't as much a part of their life as as might have been it when i was their age you know i was like girls i have to show you something and i pulled it out and my both my daughter's hands went to their mouths and they were like mama you're on the cover of vogue i didn't know that they were aware of vogue but they live in new york they walk to school every day they see all the kiosks you know they're they're in the world like of course they know like we don't sit around and talk about that so that was very touching to me i was so tickled by how it was so innocent and unknowing and not ruined then my daughter tabitha says which this blew my mind she said mama there's no writing on that magazine usually it's so busy i had not said a word i was like i thought that was so interesting that she recognized which to me was the thing that was so extraordinary about this cover was it's like not concerned it's all ego in the best possible way to me meaning like everybody on the editorial side was like yeah we don't have to put anything else here it's not about me this is about their own ability to create image and know know what to do on a cover of magazine which i don't know what to do but it's striking in its absolute bareness like that's what i think is one of the amazing things and the photographer was amazing that day and it was just an amazing shoot you know shoved in the middle of a crazy schedule and i feel super super lucky looks a lot different than i used to each piece i'm sure i did like a thing too right all sorts of new and old in here that was just a little bit of my life and looks oh thanks vogue see you next time really you want me you're gonna have me back you
