What's the deal with Sarah Jessica Parker's scrunchie/outfit here?

Jan 25, 2008, 02:05 PM | by Michael Slezak

Categories: 'Sex and the City', Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion, Film

Sarahjessicaparker_l Gloves by Palmolive.

Busted inner-tube by Slip 'n Slide.

Color palette by 1986.

So, is this really a photo shoot for the Sex and the City print ad or some sort of insane practical joke? Discuss!

It's all in the name of fashion people, it's always OTT! haven't you seen designer outfits of the catwalk... always so extravagant whether or not it's your taste... it's CARRIE BRADSHAW NOT S.J.P!!! ROFL.

ManDon't you people realise Sex in the city is a complete fantasy world, many women dream of...

One question why do women think that that clothes, shoes, bags and a rollercoaster of lonelyness would be the true pinaccle of success>? doesn't that say something about our society?

weeeell... i dont think that this is the best that she could wear__ and this is definetely an ad,, SGP would never walk around dressed like that.. the think is that we surely notice her every time and that she is the center of attention!

Sarah Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 03:02 PM EST

the eye make up is the true crime...in my opinion.

shezz Mon, Jan 28, 2008 at 03:20 AM EST

we really like Sarah because she has the sexiest set of curly hair around. How's that for straight talk?

I don't get half the things that she wears. Yikes! That is rather hideous.

When you put those gloves with that scrunchie, it looks like she's an overdressed cleaning lady carrying her supplies in a weird sling . . . .

Once BITTEN, twice shy!!!!!

is this movie gonna be any good? I own all the DVD's, love the series, but nothing in the previews for this movie has done anything to inspire me...at all...am I over it? has the time passed? I'm gonna wait for Slezak to See The Movie So I Don't Have To before I slap down $8...please god, let it be good...please let me be 100 times wrong...but these promo pics, the wedding dress, the poster, the weak trailer - it all bodes badly...boo...

Oh, God, I hope it's a practical joke to mislead us ! Or maybe she's carrying something under the blue monstrosity ?

Jael Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 10:43 PM EST

That scrunchie is by Zac Posen, but it came down the SS08 runway as part of a matching gown.

I dearly love fashion, but I don't get Carrie.

Jason Bonkers Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 09:56 PM EST

That is not an outfit. She is carrying her sleeping bag around with her. She may feel the urge to take a nap in a nearby park.

For some reason, that dress reminds me of the tent scene FROM "Cloverfield".

Holy Crazy-ass Couture, Batman! It looks like the fabric is slowly devouring our little Carrie. But wasn't part of the fun in watching the original series to cluck over what loopy outfits SJP would pull off this week?

Ceballos Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 08:59 PM EST

I don't know about you guys, but I'm kind of over gawking at random pictures on Popwatch from the set of the Sex and the City movie and trying to figure out whether they're real or not.


I'll just wait till it comes out and, you know, be surprised.

Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 08:02 PM EST

Back in the 80's I had a gorgeous tie-dyed sweatshirt in these colors that I absolutely adored...and looked scathingly gorgeous in I might add...but I never knew where the matching scrunchie got to. Damn that SJP!

Joey Jo Jo Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 05:49 PM EST

Dang it, that's what I was wearing last night. don't you hate it when movie stars abscond with your look?

Andy Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 04:32 PM EST

Is this an ad campaign for Magnolia Bakery?

Antoinette Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 04:32 PM EST

I must be one of the few people on the planet who does not think that SJP is a maven of style. Everytime I see her is some outfit that is supposed to be oh so couture I think "really what adult dresses like that"? So upon viewing this photo I think same bad fashion, different day. But this outfit is more awful than usual even for SJP's standards.

lily Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 04:30 PM EST

I agree with mdw225.
Carrie made a huge mockery out of Berger for teh hair srunchy thing. And here she is wearing a giant one.
Are they "in" now?
God!!! I hope not!

Rebecca Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 04:17 PM EST

She looks like she's vomiting up a large blue raspberry slushie.

Diane Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 03:31 PM EST

Carrie Bradshaw meets 27 dresses

new yorker Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 03:07 PM EST

Ocean Blue Scrunchie - $20
Pepto Bismol Wrap - $56
Teal or something like it gloves - $44

Looking like a hot mess - Priceless.

There are some things money can't buy. For ridiculous and overtop outfits there's Patricia Field and debit mastercard

Mischa Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 03:04 PM EST

It's probably one of those shots to confuse and mislead us.

mdw225 Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 02:53 PM EST

I find it very ironic that she criticized Berger in that one episode for having his book's NYC leading lady wear a scrunchie and now she's wearing a huge one as a scarf? sash? shirt? I usually like it when she switches it up a bit...but this is a bit much.

Larry Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 02:39 PM EST

I love it. It's colorful, different and free!

birdgirl39 Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 02:33 PM EST

It actually appears that she is trying to gag herself. I would if I were wearing that, um, "outfit"? What ever happened to normal clothing in the fashion industry? I guess the designers out there just HATE women.

Snarf Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 02:27 PM EST

10% Poly-cotton blend,
10% Acrylic
100% Hideous!
(and get your fingers out of your mouth your a big girl now!)

Jodi Goulart Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 02:26 PM EST

It looks to me like a Nina Ricci confection!

Anna Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 02:22 PM EST

It looks hideous... even for SJP. HOWEVER, I bet they'll make it look hot in the actual ad.
When I saw all of those paparazzi shots of the SATC girls filming, I was worried because some of the outfits looked really wacky... but then I saw the trailer and I thought they all looked hot! I trust Patricia Field, even if she is pretty wacky when it comes to Carrie.

anonymous Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 02:12 PM EST

Hiss-terical. It has become a parody of itself and I LOVE IT. She looks like she has been lassoed by giant blue taffy.

liza Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 02:12 PM EST

Awful.
Even by Carrie Bradshaw's standards
