Sarah Jessica Parker Masters Black-and-White Glamour in Saloni and Iris Van Herpen With SJP and Aquazzura Heels

Sarah Jessica Parker served two strikingly different yet equally alluring black-and-white outfits while attending galas this month. She wore a sleek, monochromatic Saloni outfit with a contrasting cream bow and black bow shoes to the GLAAD 40th Anniversary Gala, exuding flawless minimalism.

A few days prior, she showed up at the New York City Ballet Fall Gala in a cutting-edge Iris Van Herpen gown that seemed to belong in a modern art exhibit.

SJP’s red-carpet style is the perfect mix of classic elegance and fearless experimentation. Her choices may seem a little too feminine or whimsical for her age, but I adore how each ensemble captures her essence—polished but never predictable. She always finds the balance between sophistication and creativity, proving that style is more about confidence and character than age.

Refined Minimalism with a Feminine Edge: Sarah Jessica Parker in Saloni Bow-Adorned Jumpsuit and SJP Pumps

In celebration of the GLAAD 40th Anniversary Gala, Sarah Jessica Parker graced the red carpet at Cipriani 25. There, she presented Michael Patrick King, the creator of And Just Like That and the writer and director of Sex and the City, with the Vito Russo Award, which recognizes LGBTQ media professionals who promote equality and visibility.

SJP kept an understated yet quietly powerful appearance by donning a black-and-white “Sabine” jumpsuit by Saloni, a London-based brand known for its elegant yet playful designs. The crepe jumpsuit fit SJP’s slender frame perfectly, featuring slim-cut pants with crisp front pleats that elongated her appearance. What made the ensemble stand out was its strapless bodice with a sculptural cream bow studded with crystals. I loved how it added a touch of whimsy and sparkle against the minimalist black base.

While I adored the jumpsuit on its own for its clean lines and feminine details, Parker chose to layer it under a glittery black cardigan, which added modesty and softened the dramatic neckline.

Finishing Touches: Elegant Details and Signature SJP Heels

In keeping with the black-and-white color palette, SJP carried a sleek black purse that added structure and a refined look to the ensemble. She gave the suit a modern, slightly edgy twist by accessorizing with a black watch and a matching black manicure, while her diamond stud earrings and a few delicate rings added the perfect amount of glitter.

Her golden tresses fell in gentle waves, framing her face, while her makeup featured pink lips, peachy blush, and fluttery lashes, accentuating her gray-blue eyes.

Of course, no SJP look would be complete without a nod to her own footwear label. She slipped into the “Lucille” pumps from her SJP collection, made of black satin with sleek pointed toes and stiletto heels that elongated her silhouette and added an elegant, refined edge.

But while they appeared classic at first look, it was the back detail that truly caught my eye. A black satin bow, mirroring the one on her jumpsuit, added a special touch of charm.

The Legacy of SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker

Although SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker officially closed its doors in the fall of 2024 after a decade in business, the brand left behind a lasting imprint on the luxury footwear scene. Known for its blend of New York sophistication and playful femininity, the label faced mounting challenges in an increasingly competitive market — yet its designs remain cherished by collectors and fans alike. Below, we revisit some of Sarah Jessica Parker’s most memorable shoe moments and features celebrating her eponymous line:

Ethereal Power: Sarah Jessica Parker in Avant-Garde Iris Van Herpen Gown and Aquazzura Heels

Sarah Jessica Parker commanded the red carpet at the New York City Ballet 2025 Fall Fashion Gala in a black-and-white Iris Van Herpen Fall 2025 Haute Couture gown that looked more like a sculpture than a gown.

The architectural sleeves fanned out dramatically into sweeping, wing-like silhouettes that seemed to hover around Parker’s figure, creating an almost otherworldly aura. A black lattice overlay was layered over a white sleeveless mini dress and flowed down into a voluminous floor-sweeping skirt, creating depth and movement.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the gown, which perfectly embodied Iris Van Herpen’s signature blend of futuristic craftsmanship and ethereal artistry, making SJP look like she had just stepped straight out of a dream.

Balancing Avant-Garde Drama With Aquazzura Elegance

To balance the gown’s drama, Sarah Jessica kept her styling simple. Her hair was pulled back into a neat bun, allowing the sculptural gown to take center stage. She wore bluish-gray eyeshadow, soft peach blush, and a hint of pink lipstick for a fresh beauty look. Her diamond stud earrings and statement ring completed her accessories.

SJP rounded out her cutting-edge look with Aquazzura’s “Be Mine” sandals, made in Italy from delicate pleated chiffon with grosgrain trims encrusted with glittering crystals. They were glamorous yet refined, striking that rare balance between boldness and subtlety.

The sandals, which were elevated by 1.5-inch platforms and 5-inch block heels, complemented the avant-garde energy of her Iris Van Herpen gown. I love how they enhanced its sculptural silhouette, making it the perfect finishing touch for her dramatic gown.
