Sarah Jessica Parker Secures Carrie's Wardrobe: No More 'Stealing' for Sex and the City!

Sarah Jessica Parker has revealed she made sure it was written into her contract that she kept every single item of Carrie Bradshaw¿s impressive wardrobe so she ¿Didn¿t have to steal anything¿

SJP's Secret: How Sarah Jessica Parker Stole (or Rather, Kept) Carrie Bradshaw's Iconic Wardrobe

The queen of New York City's Upper East Side has finally spilled the beans on her most prized possessions – and it's a fashion lover's dream come true! For decades, Sarah Jessica Parker has been synonymous with style and sophistication as she embodied the fictional character of Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City. But what you may not know is that SJP took her love for the show's iconic wardrobe to a whole new level – by keeping EVERY. SINGLE. ITEM.

In an exclusive interview with Wonderland Magazine, Parker revealed that she has been secretly hoarding Carrie's outfits since the very beginning of the show's 116-episode run and two feature-length films. And it wasn't just a few token pieces; we're talking about an entire archive of style history that would put even the most seasoned fashion expert to shame.

"I've got all of it, I've kept her active since the very beginning," Parker confessed with a sly smile. "I have all of Carrie's outfits since the pilot. But that's the one thing I've had in my contract, pretty much my entire career." And we're not talking about just any old clothes – we're talking about the likes of Chanel shirts, vintage Christian Dior newspaper dresses, and Manolo Blaniks galore.

But what's even more fascinating is that Parker has been collecting Carrie's wardrobe items since her first film roles in Miami Rhapsody and LA Story. That's right; she's been stockpiling style genius for over three decades! "So every movie, Miami Rhapsody, LA Story, I have all of it," she revealed. "So I've been keeping that archive since the beginning."

And what does this mean for fans? Well, let's just say SJP won't be needing to "steal" any more iconic looks from her own wardrobe. But don't worry; we're sure there are plenty of designers who would love to collaborate with her on a Carrie-inspired fashion line.

But enough about the past – what about the present? The third series of And Just Like That, the Sex and the City reboot show, has just premiered, and we have to say, Carrie's style is as bold as ever. From Manolo Blaniks to Fendi Baguettes, Parker's wardrobe choices are always making headlines.

However, in a surprising twist, fans were left scratching their heads (and maybe even reaching for the fashion police hotline) when Carrie sported an oversized gingham-patterned fabric hat in shades of light orange and white. Yes, you read that right – a hat so eye-catching it had some viewers quipping they wanted to call the fashion police.

"Who wore it better?" one Twitter user asked, side-by-side with an image of Strawberry Shortcake. "Why is she cosplaying as Strawberry Shortcake?" another fan wondered. And while we're not ones to judge (okay, maybe a little), even Parker herself seemed taken aback by the look.

'I've got all of it, I've kept her active since the very beginning. I have all of Carrie's outfits since the pilot. But that's the one thing I've had in my contract, pretty much my entire career'

"I can get behind the wildest of Carrie's fashion choices, but this duvet cover of a hat is truly unhinged," one fan wrote on Twitter.

But despite this questionable style choice, fans are still eager to see what's next for their beloved characters. The show follows friends Carrie Bradshaw (Parker), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte York Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis) as they navigate love, careers, and life in the Big Apple.

In a guest role that's already generating buzz, 63-year-old Rosie O'Donnell appears as Mary, a virgin nun who may just become Miranda's latest romantic interest. And let's be real – we can't wait to see what other drama unfolds on the show.

So there you have it, folks – SJP's secret stash of style history is officially out in the open. Whether she'll be sharing these iconic looks with the world remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure: Carrie Bradshaw's wardrobe will continue to inspire fashionistas for generations to come.
