#TBT - Sarah Jessica Parker + Matthew Broderick

Via laineygossip.com

Confession time: I loved "Sex and the City" and truth be told, I love it even more today, now that Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha have been AWOL since 2004.  The two movies that came after were, well, the first movie was good (thanks in large part to the fashion and wedding dress p0rn!) but the second, not so much, if I'm being completely honest.  The show gave us a goldmine of pop culture wisdom like, 'He's just not that into you!', vivid male descriptors like 'funky spunk', and a plethora of swoon-worthy/debate-inducing outfits.  Before SATC, Sarah Jessica Parker transitioned from child performer to Broadway, then TV in her teens, then jump to the big screen before she landed the role that would become a pop culture phenomena, as the show's main character Carrie Bradshaw.  She  has always maintained that she and Carrie were as different as night and day and she really had to wrap her head around the charater's decisions. But in what can only be described as a sign that she was meant to play Carrie, a year before the show aired she tied the knot with Matthew Broderick (aka, Ferris Beuller forever) and her wedding day attire was a risky choice, and utterly original - a page out of Carrie's personal-style book (or a look out of her closet!)




*~It's a Black-Tie/Black Dress Affair: SJP + Matthew Broderick~*

She had been in a long-term relationship with Robert Downey Jr., and also dated Michael J. Fox, John F. Kennedy Jr., and Nicholas Cage (allegedly) before she met Broderick.  He was previously engaged to Jennifer Grey, and also had relationships with Penelope Ann Miller and Helen Hunt (fun fact - she costarred with his future wife in "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" in 1985) before he met SJP through her brother.

Classy - and classic - in black and white

She made news last year when she said that she regretted her black wedding dress, and if she were to do it all over again, she would say no to the dress.  What do you think?  Fashion-forward or fashion crime? And more importantly, WWCD (What Would Carrie Do)??! It makes me wonder......

Wishing you a day as limitless as you are~
