On Tuesday, I called Sarah Jessica Parker?s Monse ensemble at the Met Gala ?Founding Father chic.? It looked like an updated version of a Hamilton costume, and many people just had simple #HotTakes of ?I guess she didn?t get the memo about the theme this year.? Those comments weren?t particularly bad or good, they were mostly just shrugs from people (like myself) who didn?t give SJP?s outfit more than a passing thought.
Well, SJP is really, really pissed about it. Following the Met Gala, she wrote an essay about her outfit for the New York Times ? you can read the piece here. The gist is that she did get the memo about the Met Gala theme, and her interpretation was to make a statement about the future of fashion with ?the technology of thought, of application, of fabrication. The technology of the hand and the machine.? I?ll admit, I did like her outfit more after she explained the thought process that went into it, although I?ll also say that if you have to explain your Met Gala ensemble in a NYT essay, you shouldn?t really be mad when people have knee-jerk negative reactions to your outfit, you know?
So when fashion blogger Ivy Marshall put SJP on her list of celebrities who didn?t ?get the memo? for the Met Gala theme, SJP had something to say. Because why not beef with a fashion blogger?! My God. SJP left this comment on Instagram:
?Always welcome thoughts but I?m a stickler for the theme and pay close attention to what it means. Every year with great consideration, research and conviction. The understanding of man and machine, how they intersect, when and why is what we considered. Perhaps you weren?t aware of the technology used in the details and embellishments of the design. Or perhaps you simple didn?t like that I wore which is completely fine but you can?t accuse me of not paying close attention and adhering to the theme. With respect and warmest regards, sj.?
[From People]
Sure. I think SJP is really and truly offended that people genuinely believed that she didn?t ?get? the theme. And she?s insisting she did get it, but that she just had a different interpretation of it. SJP went on The View yesterday as well to explain her choice too ? go here to read about it. At this point, I have to wonder: is she promoting something? She?s got a new HBO series, Divorce, but she?s months away from promoting that. I feel sad that this is the most anyone has written about her in several years, and it?s all because she decided to wear a Hamilton costume to the Met Gala, then vociferously defend said Hamilton costume.

People were freaking out about Sarah Jessica Parker online last night. SJP always comes to the Met Gala and she always delivers a bold, interesting, noteworthy look. She?s usually on-theme too, but not last night. I guess she went for comfort this year. SJP wore this Monse ensemble, which looks like a costume from a high school production of 1776: The Musical! I will say that she did look comfortable, and that I like the idea of pants/Capris. But this is just bad. Also awful: that necklace!! My God.
Gucci?s current vibe is very hippie, very celestial-stars-and-constellations. It works on someone like Florence Welch, but does it work on Dakota Johnson? While I think Dakota is, for the most part, a snooze, I sort of like that she mixed it up and went for a bold graphic. You know what sucks though? The lace on the bust. That was not necessary. I?m also including Florence!
I actually think Sienna Miller looks great in this Gucci. The breast bow stuff is sort of overdone, but otherwise, this is a great look.
LOVE this red carpet sparkler on the one and only Sienna Miller! #MetGala #ERedCarpet pic.twitter.com/RB6apuObBd

Alright, I?ll be nice about Sarah Jessica Parker. I appreciate the fact that she does change it up a bit, that she?s not stuck in the Carrie Bradshaw-esque styling that made her famous. I actually think SJP looks nice with brown hair and I?m glad she?s not clinging to a blonde look. That?s refreshing. But I really, really hate her styling in the new issue of Harper?s Bazaar. I hate the bangs/gringe (grown-out fringe). I hate this particular shade of brown. I hate that Bazaar Photoshopped the crap out of her face. And I really hate how cheap that purple silhouette cover looks. Anyway, you can read SJP?s Bazaar cover story here. Some highlights:
She loves Manhattan: “I love the city. I love everything it has to offer. I think that my children are so lucky to be raised here. I love the subway, I love hailing a cab, I love traffic and people and all of the possibilities. I believe in all of that still.”
Living in the West Village: “My husband and I are genuinely surprised that we feel more public now than we have ever felt. It’s social media. Of course, when you work in TV or film, there is a familiarity, so you reconcile that. But the show has been off the air a long time now?You’re not ever alone. You are not ever, ever, ever, ever alone.”
She?s polite: “Don’t let anyone say I am not polite. I am polite because most of the time people are polite to me.”
Responding to people on Instagram: “I will say, ‘I’m sorry, I’m really disappointed,’ or ‘Why do you follow me if you find me so objectionable?’ I have used that word a lot. I don’t want people to mistake my kindness for navet. I am no idiot, is what I am saying.”
Turning 50: “I think my directness came with getting older. Now I will say I won’t wear something. But if it’s for a character, I will still try on everything on the rack. I don’t ever think, ‘I’m going to push it, I’m going to be controversial, I’m going to be provocative.? But I am independent.”
Her Met Gala look this year: “I researched that for a really frickin’ ass long time. I studied Chinese opera, ballet, theater, design, costume design. I studied tassels, poms-poms, silk? I think people forget there is a theme; it is a costume ball?.My son was like, ‘Mom, you’re a meme.’ I didn’t know what a meme was!?
Whether there?s an archetypal New York Woman now: “There are so many! They come from all different walks of life. But no one has really told the story of women from Staten Island, aside from Working Girl, obviously. I want to know about women who work in the city and go home to Staten Island. That’s why I love the subway so much?I can see people, try to know them. I love travel too. I am always game to figure something out about somebody else.”
[From Harper?s Bazaar]
I do think that some people (myself included) confuse SJP?s politeness and positivity for twee-ness and a sort of forced naivet at times. What I truly think is that for people like me (bitter, jaded cynics), SJP can only be taken in small doses. She?s fine in this interview, but if I had to spend a day with her, I would go absolutely mad.
Meanwhile, SJP chatted with the Today Show this week about the possibility of a third Sex & the City movie. She said, in part, ?It remains a not-often-had conversation. I know ? and [writer-director] Michael Patrick [King] knows well ? the story we might tell, if we ever tell it. But the real truth, and I?m not being cagey, is we?ve not discussed a when.? It basically sounds like she would be up for it and Michael Patrick King knows what the story would be, but beyond that? no one is really interested. I certainly hope they don?t make another one.

Let?s jump through some of the questions I have regarding this Sarah Jessica Parker Cosmo cover. One, did she get a boob job or is this dress just really boob-tastic? Two, why does she insist on the center part, still, to this day? Three, does SJP realize that the too-dark eye makeup makes her look older? Okay, I?m done. Other than those comments, SJP looks really good. Great skin, and I prefer her hair with natural curls (just not with a center part). Here are some highlights from SJP?s Cosmo interview. The SATC question is about this Instagram post which some believed was about SJP shilling for a third SATC movie.
On SATC 3 and her Instagram post: “Oh my god. When I posted that picture and people were in a rage at me, I was shocked. They were convinced I had been taunting them. I’m not that clever! And to what end would I relish dangling this idea and then saying there’s no movie? I’m still finding people and being like, ‘No @BoobityBopBeep! Why would I hurt you?’ I’ve never been a mean girl.?
On being a humanist and not a feminist: “As [playwright] Wendy Wasserstein would say, I’m a humanist. I’m enormously appreciative of the work that my mother’s generation did. We are the beneficiaries of a lot of disappointment, heartache, discouragement, and misunderstanding. But I see a lot of people trying to sort out their roles. People of color, gays, lesbians, and transgenders who are carving out this space. I’m not spitting in the face or being lazy about what still needs to be done?but I don’t think it’s just women anymore. We would be so enormously powerful if it were a humanist movement.?
On whether she has seen any of her Met Gala look’s memes: “The one thing that I saw, which was so amazing?my son showed it to me?was my headpiece cooking Rihanna like an egg. Can I tell you something though? I never saw the headpiece as flames, I never saw it!?
On what the most pressing political issues are for her: “Equality in pay. Paid sick leave. The thing that would change people’s lives maybe more than anything, assuming that we maintain access to health care, is child care. If I could guarantee every mother who is working two, three jobs that she had good child care that didn’t make her anxious all day?people would probably work in more efficient ways. How many times do you hear a wealthy person get asked, How do you do it all? If I’m asked that question one more time? I’m like, are you kidding me? Ask someone who looks like she’s about to drop, How are you doing? How are you managing??
[From Cosmopolitan]
I like what she says about a humanist movement, and how feminism should be about more than the rights of white women (I?m paraphrasing her words, but I feel that?s what she?s trying to say). There is a hunger to reach across lines, for the feminist movements to ally with Black Lives Matter, for marriage equality movements to morph into larger campaigns for LGBTQ equality in hiring, housing and protective legislation. And on and on. Intersectionality, humanism, you get the idea. I think that?s where she?s going and I like it. And yes, good on SJP for recognizing that her position is very privileged.

| | Sarah Jessica Parker: Bridesmaids should never complain about their dresses | | Added 9 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

You know that famous scene in Sex and the City (the TV show) when Carrie Bradshaw breaks out in stress hives because she lacks The Bride Gene? That?s how I?ve felt about weddings for a really long time now. I enjoy looking at wedding photos. I enjoy wedding cake (any type of cake, honestly). I enjoy judging your wedding gown. But I?m missing The Bride Gene. I just? don?t care. Personally, I don?t care. And I?m fine with that. I always sort of assumed Sarah Jessica Parker didn?t care that much either ? after all, she famously married Matthew Broderick wearing what looked like a black 1980s prom dress. But I forgot that SJP is shilling her own label now, and she?s just started selling bridal shoes. Thus, she covers the new issue of Martha Stewart Weddings. In the cover story, SJP gives ladies some wedding tips!
Her new dream wedding gown: ?If I were getting married today, I?d likely wear cream, just to have that bridal experience. Now I would want my dress to have an Oscar de la Renta feel, pockets below the waist, a very fitted bodice, a huge skirt, in taffeta or duchesse satin. That silhouette appeals to me because it?s old-fashioned yet can look very modern.?
Something borrowed, something blue: ?At my wedding, my shoes were teal velvet Robert Clergerie. I borrowed a handkerchief, someone gave me an old coin, and the dress was new, so I covered all my bases.?
Bridesmaids shouldn?t complain about their dresses: ?It?s incumbent upon anyone who is included in a bridal party to wear what the bride wants?to make it work and not complain. It?s the couple?s day, and it?s an honor to be part of it.?
Choose flowers that have personal significance: ?Personally, I love gardenias so, so much, and also lilies of the valley, because they are two of my mother?s favorites. When I was a kid living in Cincinnati, we grew lilies of the valley in the yard. Now, in summer, our house is filled with bouquets of wildflowers my daughters pick. At a wedding, people might strive for a more formal feeling, but a lot of the rules can be broken today. ?Formal? could be a handful of carnations, beautiful and simple.?
Stay loose: ?Many couples don?t get to experience their own wedding; they?re making the rounds, trying to say hello and thank people. That?s understandable, but also step back at times and focus on what you see. I think it?s nice when there are children running around with their bows untied and hair disheveled. It relaxes and touches people.?
[From Martha Stewart Weddings]
CARNATIONS?!?!? Those are filler flowers!! God, I need to stop quoting SATC. As for SJP?s wedding advice? it sounds pretty normal to me. She?s not saying anything groundbreaking although I side-eye some of her personal preferences, especially her ideal wedding gown. The way SJP describes her current ideal gown just seems so basic and boring. Granted, she?s NOT Carrie Bradshaw and I would hate for her ideal to be that Vivienne Westwood monstrosity she wore in SATC (the first movie). Oh, and if I ever get married (I won?t), little kids will be banned. Tweens are fine, teens are fine. But little kids and babies? Nope.

Sarah Jessica Parker is ALWAYS a big deal at the Met Gala. She goes almost every year, and she always pays close attention to the theme, to the point where she sometimes looks like she?s wearing a straight-up costume. Which is what happened this year. SJP wore this Chinese-themed custom H&M gown in what looks like black silk, and Refinery29 notes that the gown had a sewn-in sash made from embroidered Chinese silks. There were also red poppies on her gown ? poppies with a major trend on the Met Gala red carpet, even though poppies have a complicated history in China.
But the star of SJP?s look ? and yes, it?s already a meme ? was her Philip Treacy ?Flame? headpiece. It?s a reference to the Phoenix headpieces traditionally worn by Chinese brides, plus it may be a larger reference to some Buddhist iconography. Refinery29 says the reaction in China to SJP?s total look has been positive.
Personally, I think she would have looked better without the headpiece, or with a smaller headpiece. I like that SJP goes bold at the Met Gala, and I suspect she does her research and properly explores the theme, but this Treacy headpiece does overwhelm the look.
Oh, and her date was Andy Cohen. Matthew Broderick never comes to these events! She just goes with one of her gay-guy friends for the most part.

Here are some photos from last night?s Fall Gala for the New York City Ballet. Sarah Jessica Parker has been a huge supporter of the NYC Ballet for years, and she?s usually one of the biggest names at all of their galas, which she has chaired since 2012. SJP currently serves as vice chair of the NYCB Board of Directors aw well. She usually brings some interesting/notable fashion too, but this year? well, there are issues. Don?t get me wrong, this Mary Katrantzou Fall 2014 gown is ?notable.? Notably TERRIBLE.
I guess I sort of get the idea of wearing something long-sleeved. I also get the idea of wearing something that looks like a walking art piece. But the execution of this gown really sucks, right? It?s not flattering on SJP?s figure, it looks poorly tailored, there?s too much fabric generally and then the actual design is bad. Ugh! Something nice: I like that SJP has gone brunette.
Other photos? Ivanka Trump looked fantastic, although I think the dress should be a few inches longer. Ivanka?s husband Jared is cute too.
And Wendi Deng-Murdoch was there. Her dress sucked too.

Here is Sarah Jessica Parker stilling in fine form as she hits the beach in a fetching blue swimsuit.
She put her impressive beach body on display on Sunday when she hit the sand with husband Matthew Broderick. The couple is currently spending the Summer in Montauk, NY, with their family.
Sarah was taking a short break with her family before she launches a promotional tour for her shoe designs partnered with mega-store Nordstrom.

Stepping out for a fun-filled evening, Sarah Jessica Parker and Andy Cohen both attended the 2014 CLIO Image Awards in New York City on Wednesday night (May 7).
The ?Sex and the City? starlet smiled for the shutterbugs outside the Pierre Hotel in a snazzy white jacket with black pattern overtop a similarly-styled blue and black dress.
Meanwhile, Mr. Cohen hammed it up with Jack Wilbert and Nicole Purcell ahead of the star-studded action inside.
This fall, Andy will publish ?The Andy Cohen Diaries? through the Henry Holt Company and there?s already plenty of industry buzz.
Given his position in showbiz, Cohen will dish on oodles of gossip regarding many A-list stars, reality television personalities and even his dog.

Sarah Jessica Parker has a nice editorial in the new issue of The Edit. I?m including some photos from the pictorial, and I?m also including a couple of pics of SJP at the AOL NewFront event a few nights ago in NYC. She wore a great little dress ? the dress is a little bit ?too young? for her, but she looks really good. Mostly, I?m just happy that she?s stopped doing the excessive eye makeup ? it was getting really bad for a while. Like, worse than Duchess Kate?s eye makeup. As for the interview? SJP talks about L?Wren Scott, Twitter trolls (yes, SJP is on Twitter) and how humble she is. Some highlights:
Her reaction when someone tweeted that her daughters Marion and Tabitha weren?t her biological children: ?I see mean stuff every day: when I look at Twitter I scroll with one eye open and one closed. That particular day, it was just one of the things I saw. I kept scrolling and then I was like, ?Wait a minute, did she just say that?? I went back and I thought, ?Well, this isn’t unhealthy paranoia, this is absolutely conscious. This was a choice. She, not subtly at all, said that my children are not my children.??
She doesn?t understand Twitter trolls: ?What is it about me? I am not somebody who shows off her good fortune; I don’t travel with bodyguards, I don’t live a very glamorous life – I am afraid of all that. I don’t talk about my marriage; I am circumspect about my children. I sometimes regret that people don’t understand all that I do and all that I am because I am embarrassed to talk about what I’ve accomplished – I think it sounds self-centric and narcissistic. I can’t figure out what she [the troll] hated so much about me that she did that. And I just can’t imagine anything lower than that.?
But she can handle it? ?Other people can be mean, and that?s something I just have to make peace with.?
Designing her own line of shoes and bags: ?My heart goes out to designers. The expectations, the demands they put on themselves. They put everything on the line. It takes fortitude to survive it. I feel so sad about L’Wren. I have friends who struggle for no good reason; incredibly talented people who have to fight for attention.?
[From The Edit via The Mail]
Eh? it?s not that she?s wrong about Twitter trolls (or blog trolls). They exist everywhere and anywhere. Some people are just having a bad day and need to take it out on someone. Some people are just genuinely horrible. Some people are just awful racists (I?ve gotten trolled by some of them) or misogynists (like the dudes who threaten to rape women on Twitter). After a few years, it does become easier to just ignore, block or even laugh at the sad trolls. SJP just needs to realize that getting trolled is rarely about HER. It?s not about what she?s putting out into the world. You know? At least that?s how I rationalize it ? I don?t take it personally. I just think to myself, ?Damn, some people have issues.? It?s about them and their drama. And for God?s sake, don?t feed them. That?s what they want, to draw you in to their drama.
(Now all that being said, I could parse the sh-t out of SJP?s statement about how she doesn?t ?show off her good fortune.? She?s not blinged out in some epic mansion, true, but I?ve covered several eye-rolly out-of-touch interviews with SJP.)
