"Sarah Jessica Parker: Her Style Timeline\\nSarah Jessica Parker sat down with Allure to discuss her most memorable looks over the years.\\n\\\"Me and Downey. I think that night someone accused him of taking their lighter. Isn't that funny? I had so many hats it's ridiculous.\\\"\\n\\\"Oh my God, I remember that. I had just finished a movie, and I borrowed that. These were Christian Lacroix pants and shoes, and this was a Rifat Ozbek jacket. At the time, this was it. This was IT!\\\"\\n\\\"This is before my husband and I even had started dating. It was a vintage thing.\\\"\\n\\\"A dress that I would no more wear today\u2014like, you would have to pull me kicking and screaming into that dress. But I enjoy looking at it!\\\"\\n\\\"They liked my hair blonde for the show [*Sex and the City*], and I'm an extremely agreeable employee, so I do, generally speaking, what I'm asked. But eventually I thought, 'My hair should be darker.' So, I convinced Michael Patrick [King, the show's executive producer]. I felt more substantial with darker hair, I felt people took me more seriously. I think, sadly, it really is true.\\\"\\n\\\"That dress I loved. Mr. de la Renta made it for me, and it was a fantasy, it was a souffle. I love pink. I'm a clich\u00E9, I'm a pink lover, what are you going to do? It's a great color, and I actually think it looks good on just about everybody in the whole world.\\\"\\n\\\"I was getting an award that night, and I was too anxiety-ridden about the whole thing. I couldn't pick one designer because I would feel bad\u2014'How can I pick one designer on this night? I'll feel terrible about those I didn't pick.' So, the solution was to pick a vintage American designer. I generally don't wear that color because I feel like, 'Oh, that's a color for powerful women. Women who are ambitious wear red.'\\\"\\n\\\"That was maybe the most nervous I've been on any red carpet. I just wanted Mr. McQueen to be happy with my hair and makeup. He could not have been more meticulous and disciplined about getting that dress to be exactly what he wanted it to be. He made it for me, came in for all the fittings, flew in from London. And he wore a kilt, the matching plaid.\\\" Did he wear underwear? \\\"As far as I recall, he did not.\\\"\\n\\\"I am friendly with Huma [Abedin], who is Senator Clinton's right hand. I invited Huma because we wanted to invite everybody we could so that people would know about Patsy's work. We chose not to invite the Clintons so as not to burden them. I didn't want to be one more person to ask for the senator or the president. Like, 'Oh, God, we have to find a way to say no to those guys.' And then we got this message: 'Well, Senator and President Clinton are on their way.' I was like, 'What?!' And the next thing we knew, they were in the room!\\\"\\n\\\"There's not one meeting that I've not been at, ever, for anything. I just couldn't do things that way. It's not my style. I'm not able to delegate, and I don't think I should. If I'm going to do something, I should do it. Because I feel like if it weren't for the show, I would never have these opportunities, so I feel indebted to the women I'm selling to. It's for them.\\\"\\n\\\"Me and my boy! And Bitten. Bitten flats, Bitten jacket. I am not kidding.\\\"\\nIn the upcoming movie *Smart People,* Parker plays a doctor with a crush on Quaid: \\\"My character has a kind of unpleasant darkness in that movie, a bleak outlook...it was different from anything anyone had asked me to do.\\\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
