We Wonder If She’ll Ditch Couture For Jeans After The SATC Sequel Wraps

Sarah Jessica Parker is often accused of channeling her Sex and the City character’s sometimes over-the-top wardrobe tendencies in real life.  Fair enough, but it would be hard not to borrow some of Carrie Bradshaw’s style sense — and her fab clothes! — after playing the part almost longer than she’s been married to Matthew Broderick.  And whether her outfits are costume-y or a reflection of her own innate style, one thing they’re not is boring.  A de rigueur LBD and a pair of pumps? Fuggedaboutit.

There is a LOT going on in this look but somehow it all works. Kind of like how separately the ingredients of a Monte Cristo don’t sound too appetizing but all together it’s a mouth full of deliciousness. First there’s the skintight green L’Wren Scott snakeskin dress, which on it’s own might have been a bit too aggressively sexy.  But paired with the feathered stole, sheer gloves and extra strappy Christian Louboutin for L’Wren Scott shoes (which we love to the point that we’d give into our baser instincts and employ elbows and dirty tricks to get our hands on them should they ever go on sale at Neimans) there is an enviably quirky chic-ness to the entire look that would be impossible for anyone else but our favorite fashionista.

With all the various Fashion Weeks winding down and a long promo tour for the SATC movie sequel on the horizon, we’re excited to see what SJP/Carrie (there’s got to be a way to shorten that but we haven’t come up with anything yet, thoughts?) parades around in until it’s shot and in the can.  Though her attempts to make those horrible Martin Margiela split-toe shoes the next Manolos can end any time now . . .

Stella “Leatha” From Project Runway Would Love This Look!

Former Will & Grace star Debra Messing recently pooh-poohed rumors that she had dropped stylist Rachel Zoe who has been accused of being too busy with her show, The Rachel Zoe Project, and losing focus when it comes to her first job (and the reason she even has a TV show), styling.

But she might want to consider making a switch after getting decked out in head-to-toe Bottega Veneta—the dress (which looks like a butcher’s apron, yikes!), the shoes, the clutch. How on earth did Rachel talk her into this get-up?

Here’s our imagined conversation:

RACHEL:  Debs, we need to do something radical to shake up your image.  Now that you’re not on Will & Grace and that other show of yours got canceled, people are going to start wondering why you just randomly show up to things like Phoebe Price.

DEBRA:  But I’ve won a Golden Globe!  Several in fact.  People love me! Remember that time on the show when Will and I . . .

RACHEL: That’s like a zillion seasons ago.  Anyway, I have a great idea: a leather dress!  I DIE.  Sure it’s like 80 degrees outside but you have to suffer for fashion.  If I can put up with Taylor, mostly because she scares the bejebbus out of me, you can wear something that looks like Bessie the Cow incarnate.

DEBRA:  I don’t know  . . .

RACHEL:  Come on!  You’ll be the next Sarah Jessica Parker.  Or Carrie Bradshaw.  Whichever. They’ve practically morphed into the same person anyway. The point is that little show she’s on totally doesn’t matter.  All people care about is what outfit Patricia Fields wrangles her into, so trust me, wear this and no one will ask what happened to your career.  Would I steer you wrong?  Get it, “steer?” Ha!

DEBRA: I just have this weird feeling that you’re using me as a walking billboard for season two of your show.  These gladiator sandals are super cute but didn’t you just recommend them as “Zoe Picks” on Piperlime?  And all this leather is a bit much.  Ugh, I look like an entrée at Ruth Chris steak house.

RACHEL:  Season?  Steak? GOD, I’m sooo hungry. I haven’t eaten solid food in 15 years.  You’d look great between two buns with some lettuce, ketchup and tomato . . .

DEBRA:  Rachel, why are you looking at me with that carbs-crazed look in your eye?  Hey, you BIT me!

ZOE:  Oh, sorry about that.  Look, here’s the deal. Anne Hathaway is my A-list celebrity now.  Hell-o Oscar nominee vs Golden Globes. You do the math.  I’m hording all the good stuff for her so it’s this leather dress and the shoes or nothing, m’k.  Be sure to tell everyone to watch the second of my show on Bravo at 10pm!  But don’t use any of my catchphrases or I’ll edit you out.
