I have mixed feelings about Sarah Jessica Parker. One the one hand, she’s sassy, and Sex and the City did have its moments. On the other hand, Sex and the City had moments, rather than episodes or seasons, and she dresses like she comes from a planet that doesn’t have clothes and she’s not over the novelty. Do you ever play the Sarah Jessica Parker game, in which you come up with the most outlandish outfit you can imagine, and then go through her old publicity stills to see how close you were? Try it: a mink pillbox hat, pink naugahyde blouse, tutu, electric blue leggings with kind of a watermark pattern, and wooden Dutch clogs? (Hint: First Wives’ Club.) Anyway, I saw the poster for the Sex and the City movie today, and… no. No, ma’am. I’m going to ignore the terrible, terrible design of the poster – with difficulty, and only because this is a celebrity blog, not a media design blog – so I can concentrate on its larger flaw.
It only has Sarah Jessica Parker on it. Alone. The other actresses are nowhere to be seen.
Sex and the City was an ensemble cast. That’s why it was funny. It wasn’t the SJP show, and for good reason. It seems “star” and executive producer SJP has decided, at this late stage, to try to anoint herself Leading Lady. It’s a tacky, tacky move, and even if it wasn’t SJP’s idea, she shouldn’t have done it. No class.
Anyway, here’s a picture of SJP dressed like an Earth woman. (It must have been Halloween.) Her dressers accessorized her well, except for what appears to be a black satin rose, but we must take the bitter with the sweet. Her necklace is unusual and fun, in keeping with Parker’s commitment to a unique personal style, but is restrained, tasteful, and – dare I say it? – age-appropriate. Her earrings match her look. They’re dressy enough to match her outfit, but they’re not so flashy as to overstated and gaudy. If you got rid of that “flower,” this would be a home run.
These green quartz and diamond white gold earrings are a good example of dressy, but not overstated jewelry. They’re posh enough that you’ll never seem underdressed in them, but scaled down enough that you can comfortably wear other jewelry with them without going over the top. The green of the quartz is subtle enough that they’ll be relatively easy to match, but still a clear, lovely shade. Wear them on your next movie poster for only $195!
