No matter what, both Sarah Jessica Parker and Mary-Kate Olsen always set the fashion world abuzz with their outfit choices, and never seem to apologize for their mis-steps. Case in point? The latest get-ups that the two were photographed wearing.
At the oh-so-huge Sex and the City premiere on Monday, Ms. Carrie Bradshaw took the floral trend to new heights (literally) by arriving in an all green ensemble, complete with floral bouquet stemming from her chapeau.
And on the other side of the pond, the Olsen twin was spotted in what looks like a green suede jacket with fur trim, suede moccasins and a chinchilla fur bag that she could easily fit into – in the dead of Spring no less.

We have just one question. How does SJP or should we say (Carrie Bradshaw) manage to get away with wearing outfits like this? Actually we have another question. We know it’s so wrong but what is it about a giant scrunchie paired with a minidress that looks so right?
SJP has gone all girly for the gap campaign this spring. Performing a broadway song, Parker sings about her love of being a girl while dressed in pink tops and Khaki’s.
“This spring, we’ve taken khaki — an American essential Gap is famous for– and made it more fashionable and versatile than ever,” said Jeff Jones, executive vice president of Gap Marketing. “Gap khaki has been transformed with a whole new feminine twist this season and who better than Sarah Jessica to bring this transformation to life.”

Received the comment below re this post. This is a question that I honestly hadn’t thought about and think its v.interesting. Finally managed to sit down and write my thoughts.
This look is adorable. Patricia Field and the other young lady with the black hair and all the tats have some real panache. Sarah has style, but she is hardly a fashion icon for me. No love lost. My question is this: Is it fair to say that someone has great style and is an icon if they are pulled together by other people? A lot of these women are made and told what to do and what to wear. So is it really fair to give them kudos for things that they are not responsible for? Just a thought.

Personally I would give most credit to the stylist and definitely some to the celeb. You could have three celebrities wearing the same outfit and one would stand out from the rest. In SJP’s case there is something about her. Perhaps her confidence or maybe her personality but I do think she can be classed as a fashion icon. Having said that I can understand why people would disagree.
In terms of whether or not its fair for the celeb to get more merit than the stylist, then no I don’t think it is but its the nature of the business. The star is in the limelight and chose to be. Whereas the stylist decided to be in the background, organising and picking the right clothes. Hopefully this may change and stylists will start to get more recognition. I really can’t lie I enjoy admiring the fashion icons, respecting the stylists and more often than not I tend to appreciate the icons more. However I will start looking behind the scenes a lot more and investigating into who actually put the outfit together.
