Sarah Jessica Parker became a global sensation and a fashion icon overnight with her role as Carrie Bradshaw in the cult series “Sex and the City.” The actress was allowed to keep all the designer outfits and accessories after filming, but now her high heels are mostly gathering dust in the closet.
Taking a peek into Sarah Jessica Parker’s closet–surely a dream for many women. Gaining unrestricted access as well, but not everyone seems interested. Sarah Jessica Parker’s twin daughters aren’t very keen on the actress’s high heels and more.
Sarah Jessica Parker Was Allowed to Keep Wardrobe
On film sets, it’s common for actors’ costumes to remain with the props department after filming. However, Sarah Jessica Parker negotiated a lucrative deal for herself before filming “Sex and the City”: she was allowed to keep her character Carrie Bradshaw’s outfits. “I’ve kept everything since the pilot,” she reveals in an interview with “Wonderland Magazine.” She got this advice from her lawyer and has kept this clause in all her contracts. This is not typical, she further explains: “There are studios that really want to hold on to their stuff. So it’s a very complicated dance to get your works. But when I filmed ‘Sex and the City,’ my contract stated that I get everything.”
Sarah Jessica Parker’s Daughters Don’t Want High Heels
It’s well-known by now that the costumes from “Sex and the City” aren’t just any clothes, but high-priced designer pieces. Through her role as columnist Carrie Bradshaw, the actress herself became a fashion icon. Sarah Jessica Parker’s collection reportedly includes many high heels from renowned designers.
She would now like to pass them on to her twin daughters, Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge, but they seem to have little interest in their mom’s designer shoes. “Their tastes are quite different from mine at the moment,” Parker reports on the podcast “Call Her Daddy.”

“I’m Not Joking, I Find It Really Tragic”
Her two daughters are now 15 years old and have found their own style. They are into vintage fashion (except their mom’s) and fund it through their first small jobs. “I think that’s pretty normal these days for girls, young women their age, they’ll be 16 at the end of the month. So they’re pretty stable. They don’t tend to follow trends, they don’t move in that direction. They know they don’t have a budget.”
However, Sarah Jessica Parker still finds it sad that her daughters have no interest in her valuable designer high heels: “I’m not joking, I find it really tragic.”
