50 Times SJP Was a Real-Life Carrie Bradshaw

Mar 25 2017 - 3:45am

When asked who our fashion icons are, Sarah Jessica Parker [1] is always at the top of mour list. The style-setter been a favorite even back in the 80s, but it's her role as Carrie Bradshaw [2] that solidified her place in our fashion hearts as an innovator and risk taker. Now, even with her days on SATC behind her, SJP continues to wow as the designer of her own chic shoe line [3], seriously styled mom, and all-around fashionable persona [4] on and off the red-carpet. So, it seems only fitting that on her 52nd birthday, we pay tribute to the trend-setter, rule-breaker, and fashion icon with a look back at 50 of her most memorable, enviable fashion moments.
