In or Out: Sarah Jessica Parker

Sunday, March 16, 2008 by
Well, since you judgmental bitches seemed to enjoy it so much last time...

Here's Sarah Jessica Parker at ShoWest 2008 at The Paris Hotel and Casino on March 13, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada.




Now, Stacy and Clinton maintain that women shouldn't wear miniskirts over the age of 35, but we always thought that was a little arbitrary. That might be true for a majority of women in that age bracket, but that doesn't mean that NONE of them can get away with it.

On the other hand, we're gonna have to side with them on this one. This look is just a skosh too youthful for a woman over 40, probably because that's pretty much a look-at-my-uterus skirt.

That light-colored-pump-with-black-tights look is apparently here to stay, at least for a little while. We can get used to it - maybe - but we're never gonna love it. And Sarah? Straighten your pearls out girl. It's distracting.

Well? Is she in or is she out?

hmmmmm....

I don't think she should be wearing that skirt.
I really don't.

she looks put together, but i don't love it.

out! minnie mouse pumps and ob-gyn skirt. and i don't get the pearls. hair and make-up good, though.

Well, she has the tiny legs for mini skirts and the black stockings she is wearing really take reduce the whoops-there's-my-hoo-ha effect. And since she's SRP she pretty much MAKES this look "in".

But I don't really care for it so much!

Hair, make-up, dress, and tights - IN

Daisy is right, the body/legs are killer and the tights do mitigate the hoochie-skirt.

However ...

Pearls and heels - OUT.

There were so many other, far sexier and cooler ways to accessorize.

Anonymous said...

Out. The skirt is far too short and although her legs are slender they aren't very good.

And...I will never, ever get used to light shoes with dark stockings/hose. The good thing being that she was wearing stockings and not that trashy bare-leg look that is also popular now.

Too short, too young=bad look.

Just my opinion, of course! :)

I can't stand light colored shoes with dark hose! Unless, of course, you want your feet to look huge.

I hate that look. You can't stop staring at their feet. The dress is ok but too short for her. The pearls are a big no-no.

Well, in my opinion, SJP--at least in the Sex and the City context--has always been a fashion victim. So this is more of the same. But what is up with this no miniskirts over 35 b.s.? Her body is killer, better than most young girls out there. It seems to me that whoever made that rule doesn't have a body that warrants wearing miniskirts.

bitchesdye said...

the white shoes suck. This is exactly what has always bugged me about "fashion." Just because something has been declared 'In" (by whom, I always want to know) doesn't make it look good.

OUT!
It really is always hit and miss for her.

bitchesdye said...

Perhaps "white shoes with black tights" will be one of those outdated trends we'll see on a future challenge on PR.

Casey said...

Oh, thank god it's not only I who hates the dark legs/light shoes look.
I hope someone puts a stake in the heart of that hideous trend SOON.

Anonymous said...

Yes, her legs are great. Yes she has a rockin' bod, albeit, I still want to feed her a sandwich or three. The kirt needs three more inches, then she's be good to go. Of course, those shoes are just flat out wrong. There is no help for them. On the plus side, her hair and make-up look great. SJP tends to suffer from what I refer to as "horse face." When she was 15 lbs heavier she didn't have it, but the thinner she becomes, the more pronounced it is. I'm happy that her make-up choices have remedied that, at least in this photo. And thank god she isn't doing that horrid "smokey eye" with all the black liner smudged to hell and back. She's been guilty of it in the past, but apparently someone got her to break that habit.

Andreas said...

well i'll give her that: i almost never like a nude lip, but she really works that look without looking dead, so kudos to that. the accessories and shoes work for me but the dress is a wee bit too baggy to pull of such a pointed look. if the shoes matched better and the dress was a little more formfitting it could be a great look. like that, it's just a tad off.

Anonymous said...

Never never never NEVER EVER will I accept light shoes with dark tights. Gawd, somebody poke my eyes out right now.

SJP has a great bod and I have no problem with mini-skirts over 35. It's just that they need to get a little longer with age, NOT SHORTER! This looks awful on her.

It's like all you can do is watch and wait for the inevitable peeking-out of the bits. Why would anybody want that?


This is OUT.

Anonymous said...

ditch the light colored shoes, and put on a pair of skinny legged jeans under that "dress," and she'd look just right.

Anonymous said...

She looks great. Absolutely IN, and Stacy and Clinton have no taste and shouldn't make rules for anyone, anyway.

Brooklyn Bomber said...

She's half in, half out. The top part looks "super chic" (to quote Mr. Kors), but the length of the skirt is a problem, not because she's too old, but because of the proportions. A longer skirt would just look better, more in balance with the top, and then the outfit truly would be super chic.

I can't condone the light shoes with the dark stockings, just like I can't deal with heavy, dark stockings worn with light-colored dresses in lightweight fabrics.

Honestly? It looks like what would happen if you told a fashion novice "You can't go wrong with pearls and a black dress." Seriously, just because you have slim legs doesn't mean it's a great idea to bare so much of them. It looks desperate. Sorry, SJP.

Anonymous said...

The no mini skirts over 35 rule maybe arbitrary, but i think it is, in general, true. Mostly, if a child had come out of your vajayjay, you should not a skirt that nearly shows it.

However, I think the black tights make the whole look far more appropriate and in the word of the PR judges "expensive"......

She's so OUT!

Black dress, pumps, pearls? That look is so tired. I never understood why she is considered a fashion icon. Her character in Sex and the City? Maybe, not her.

Out Out Out! Not age appropriate, hate the white vinyl looking shoes, and the pearls look cheap. But I'm not surprised; I've always thought SJP is a Fashion Don't about 95% of the time. Love her personality, she just needs a better stylist and needs to Go Classic as in "Stay away from every trend that walks down the street!"

Anonymous said...

I really think that Tina Turner is the only woman over 35 who can still rock a mini-skirt, and well-deservedly so. This looks is OUT to me, if not only for the Thoroughly Modern Millie pearls, there. And SJP, you are NO Julie Andrews.

Anonymous said...

Out. Skirt is too short, shoes are distracting and NOT cute to begin with. Pearls are a throwaway. If a younger looking woman were wearing this with better shoes, it would be the perfect opportunity to showcase minimalist geometric jewelry. (I would change the hair to something more sleek and controlled, though.)

SJP can be wearing a bra and panties and she'll still look in.

Honestly, it fits her. It's not at a level of vulgarity. It works on her, and it's Vegas, baby!

Unknown said...

Sorry, SJP, it's out. You are old enough to be someone's grandmother, technically, even if your own is still a preschooler. If the skirt was still above the knee, but not showing off your uterus, you could get away with it. Stop trying to look like you are 20-something and embrace your age. You don't have to look "old", but do stop looking like you can keep up with Britney Spears or something. (You are old enough to be her mother, you know.)

I like the dress but I hate the pearls. The shoes are OK, so half in half out.

Shoes should always be darker than stockings – Light colored shoes paired with dark hose does not work.

She has the legs to carry that skirt. But that combined with the too-hip-for-you tights/shoes and the botox overkill make me want to say to her, "Sarah, honey. You're over 40. Stop trying to look like you're perpetually 29."

The weird draping under her arms on the sides makes it seem like maybe the dress has a low, open back... which I think would be fabulous. I say the dress is in, everything else is out. I don't even like the hair and makeup, frankly, much less the shoes or tights. Less is more, baby!

OUT - sort of Madonna meets Lohan.

I don't remember her looking quite so "horsey" . . . and what's with those hands . . . they look positively geriatric!

honey I'm from the south and I'm sorry, but light heels with black tights are simply not done. I simply don't care what the trends call for - tacky is tacky. The only thing that could make it worse is if they were spring white pumps before easter. I just don't get about half of SJP's looks. I thougth the whole thing about fashion was that it's supposed to maek you look good, not like a scarecrow in mourning (with pale pink pumps on). That being said, hair makeup and pearls were great. Still, she's out out out.

NahnCee said...

I thought the pink ballerina dress she wore in her perfume commercials was way too youthful, too. There was a real disconnect between looking at her face in those commercials, and then looking at her dress and body as she flitted down the street.

I adore SJP, and I never used to believe it (when I was younger), but there *is* a point where the face needs to match the dress and vice-versa, or it just looks weird.

SJP needs to start thinking more like Jackie O and Diane VonF, and less like the wild thing she's made her rep on so far.

Her face does have that "fresh from the taxidermy" look. Quite scary!

Anonymous said...

Well, realistically, several of her body parts are less than 10 years old, so if you average over her whole body, she probably skooches under 35.

SJP is a fashion icon because she plays with fashion--she's allowed to have fun. It isn't as though she wears this outfit to PTA meetings.

I say she's in. She can totally pull it off.

She looks great as usual. She's SJP for Christ's sake.

Anonymous said...

I agree, it's not an everyday look. It isn't so much that the dress is too short for her, it's that it doesn't work period. Too drapey on top to be so short on the bottom. She'd actually work it better if she were about 15 pounds heavier so she wouldn't look like a scarecrow. However, this seems more like a cocktail dress being dressed down which it shouldn't.

HATE light shoes and dark stocking, and light stockings with dark shoes.

Hands...the one thing that can't be lifted.....yet.

She looks ok for her. Probably better than usual.

Milla said...

Stacey and Clinton are right and pretty much the only exceptions to the rule are Tina Turner and Iman.
Sarah Sanderson "amok, amok, amok" is not most definitely not Tina Turner.
Minis really are unflattering on mostly everyone over the age of 8 because knees are not pretty body parts.
Love sweet babies,

GothamTomato said...

The dress might be a wee bit short, but she was a dancer, and dancers are the exception to that over-35 mini rule. And it's not like it's a babydoll dress - those ARE ridiculous on any woman past her mid-20's. This dress is a sophisticated silhouette.

But those shoes with those tights: YIKES! I don't care if it's 'in' - it's hideously tacky - always a mistake. This is a perfect example of just another, in a long line, of ridiculous fads that senseless women will wear simply because someone tells them it's 'in'.

Except for the shoes, she looks fabulous.

Until recently it has always been a fashion rule that you don't wear white/lite colored shoes with black tights. Some fashion rules can be thrown out the window like no mini skirts after 35 as long as you got the body to pull it off. But the no white shoes with black tights rule should be strictly adhearded to because it is and will always be fugly no matter who wants to say it's "in".

SJP will always be IN as a Style Icon. That's why she received an award at this venue. ShoWest is 1 of those insider events where the theater exhibitors get a chance to meet & greet the actors. They want to have a photo op w/ what they represent in their theaters.
The outfit(demure yet fashion forward, very Carrie Bradshaw) & SJP passes that criteria w/ flying colors.

kath said...

The dress would be perfect if it were a few inches longer. Just because she CAN wear something like that, doesn't mean she should, and I don't mean because of her age. It just doesn't flatter her. A couple of inches would still make it short, but not ridiculous looking. And I HATE the dark stockings, light shoes. Please God, make it go away soon!

Rainwood said...

I don't believe there's an age limit on miniskirts. Some women shouldn't wear them at 20, others can rock them well past 35. The problem here is proportion. She's wearing long, straight hair and pearls that come down to her waist, really elongating that silhouette, but then all of sudden there's this teeny, tiny skirt which seems out of balance with the look of the top half. If she'd worn the hair up and shortened the pearls by looping them around another time or two, it would have been better. Add a few inches to the skirt and it would have been a lot better.

Nothing can save those shoes though.

Out so hard she bruised her tailbone, imo. It's not the skirt length so much as the sacky awfulness of everything above the waist on that dress... And she could have chosen a color nicer than "lipo clinic waste" for those pumps, if she had to go with the "dark leg, light pump" look, which I'm not a fan of either.

Anonymous said...

Oh honestly, the skirt's not *that* short. You're only too old to be wearing something like that when your body looks old, and hers doesn't. Or if your attitude makes you old to begin with.

Her shoes need to go, but the rest looks good on her.

No matter how she ALMOST pulls it off, in the end her look is neither chic nor attractive. The attempt to dress like a much younger woman paradoxically only makes her look older. If SJP really wants to continue to be a fashion icon, she needs to start being age-appropriate.

Is that from the Bitten line? It seems that she has been decidely dressing down lately in order to look as if she's wearing her $20 pieces...

It's an okay basic, and she can definitely pull it off. What a silly rule...if something you wear makes you feel good, and if you look okay in it, then wear it. And don't listen to anyone who raises an eyebrow over it. It's their problem.

Of course, that philosophy would make blogs like Rungay much less fun, so what do I know, LOL.

Age has nothing to do with it. I would MUCH rather see SJP in a short skirt than most of the 18 year old girls in any mall in America who apparently don't own full length mirrors and have no idea they need to put the cheetos down. The skirt is fine. The dark tights keep it from being too "hoochie-mama" but those shoes have got to go. I don't care how expensive they are or who says the are in style. Seriously, common sense anyone?! Ugh!

The only part of this that's as hideous as others are saying are the shoes. BLECH. Otherwise, I don't think this is a bad outfit at all. Don't love it, but nothing wrong with it. Length of the skirt is fine because of the tights (no, you can't almost see her crotch. Even if she lifted up her skirt you wouldn't, because she HAS TIGHTS ON. Seriously, I swear you can see more crotch in some of the tight jeans I see people going around in than in a pair of tights.)

She could use a sandwich or two, though. Her hands freak me out.

Anonymous said...

Not the worse or best I've seen SJP, butb.I'll vote, "out." Individually the pieces are fine (black dresses and/with pearls are classic!) but together and on her, there's something a bit wonky going on.

I have no problem with someone her age and size wearing minis, but she seems to repeat the look fairly often, so it get's a tad tiresome and does not look fresh on her. Sadly, as SJP tries to maintian a youthful and hip look she's also shooting herself in one of her ivory pumps by aging and dating herself with too much exposure too often.

As someone who was actually there, I have to tell you that skirt was so short she had to pull it down in the back in order to walk up on stage...way way too short, as well as violating the sacred rule of fashion: if it requires constant fiddling &/or intervention to look decent, it's not working.

Very interesting, kati. I wondered if SJP's LBD offered much botty-coverage. Now, we know. If you actually think about it, she's always seen tugging, pulling and adjusting her outfits.

What the eff? Does she ever eat. She looks Abfab, and the fact that she is W-O-R-K-I-N-G that mini skirt says that she can wear it. I love it and am jealous. Really, she looks so great, she must have a lip-suction machine at home that immediatly sucks out whatever she eats.
