It’s been years since Sarah Jessica Parker played Carrie Bradshaw on the hit TV series “Sex and the City” but her iconic character is still very much alive, both in SJP and in the world of fashion. SJP took some time out to talk to British Elle about her alter ego, Carrie’s infamous wardrobe, and the fight against aging. Here’s what she had to say…
SJP on her alter ego Carrie Bradshaw:
“People confuse my character on ‘Sex and the City’ for me. I don’t spend the best part of my day shopping. I love shopping on the rare occasion I get to do it and I love beautiful clothes, but these are the things that aren’t important — they don’t make you a better, more substantial person, thinking person. But fashion can give you a certain feeling — it’s that feeling that shoes can give you, or a bag, or the way a pair of pants fit.”
SJP on the current status of Carrie Bradshaw’s wardrobe:
“They’re archived and stored like museum pieces. They’re in a temperature-controlled vault.”
SJP on her attitude towards fighting the age battle:
“I feel frankly I would rather have time with my friends and family than worry too much about certain things. I would err on the side of a dinner party than the gym. Food and people are life’s greatest pleasures.”
