Sarah Jessica Parker on being different to Carrie Bradshaw


October 27, 2015

Sarah Jessica Parker played the role of Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City for six years. So it might not come as a surprise that the two characters share many similarities. "I think in many ways I'm like Carrie because I would much prefer to be interviewing you, for instance," she told an E! reporter. "I'm very curious about other people, and that's why I like the subway. Because I can just watch people."

There are, however, many differences between the two – one in particular being their attitudes towards fashion."I like clothing, but I don't have anywhere near a fevered relationship that she does," said Sarah Jessica.Clothes were a huge part of the hit TV series. Carrie was known for her love of designer shoes, and Sarah Jessica recently revealed the one pair she won't ever forget.

The mother-of-three revealed that a pair of infamous Manolo Blahnik shoes – her character's favourite designer – made a particularly strong impression on her during filming. "I think the one that people remember, love and talk about a lot is the moment she sees the Manolo Mary Janes in the Vogue closet and says, 'Oh my god, I thought this was an urban myth'," the 50-year-old told Harper's Bazaar. "I think that was a very funny and clever way of talking about something that is to some, a silly sort of infatuation. But it gives it some kind of smarts. "For Sarah Jessica, it was a memorable milestone, and she confessed that she had already seen the shoes, and been such a fan that she added them to her world-famous stylish wardrobe. "That's great writing and the fact that that great shoe existed… I knew from that, because I had borrowed a pair for an event and ended up keeping them."
