Sarah Jessica Parker Takes London
Arriving in London on just Wednesday, Sarah Jessica Parker has managed to be photographed in a grand total of SIX looks during the time till now. That's more than the Duchess of Cambridge managed on her tour of the US. SJP, the new royalty. Well, fashion royalty anyway. So let's review. She arrived in an unknown striped dress (lovely) and a L'Agence taupe coat. Kate wore L'Agence. Just saying. Those are Ferregamo heels, of course. She took off later in the day in a very pretty outfit which involved Chanel and her Louis Vuitton bag. I liked this one quite a lot. Very feminine and elegant. And now.
The next day she broke out full Chanel Couture for a photo call at her hotel. She popped out to see if a man was ok — he has collapsed outside the hotel. And of course the paparazzi were on hand to record the outfit for our viewing pleasure. Excellent. The shoes are Charlotte Olympia and she seems to have them in every colour. Prabul Gurung was the designer of choice for her official photo call dress. This is the second time she has chosen this designer on the tour and it is a triumph once again. Really summery and gorgeous and now we all want that pretty floral dress.
Yesterday SJP recorded an interview for Jonathan Ross' new chat show, due to start this week. And she trotted out a third pair of Charlotte Olympia shoes for the occasion, teamed with a very Duchess-alike dress and jacket suit. She went to Soho house for a thing this morning, dressed in that L'Agence coat again, teamed with her usual NYC outfits of skinny jeans and a simple t-shirt. I quite like it. It makes a lovely change from the frock-show. But all in all, a very impressive showing of outfits and it's not even over yet. Watch this space.
