Sarah Jessica Parker has long been the unofficial queen of Manhattan street style, often turning a simple neighborhood errand into a masterclass in eclectic wardrobing.
In November 2020, SJP stepped out in New York City with her husband, Matthew Broderick, and their son, James Wilkie, to mark a significant family milestone: James’s first time heading to the polls.
While the occasion was civic-minded, Parker’s ensemble captured her signature “undone” elegance—mixing high-fashion designer pieces with approachable athletic staples.
From her choice of statement knitwear to her curated footwear, the look serves as a blueprint for elevated casual dressing that remains relevant years later.

Showing their support for the Democratic party, SJP and James wore matching black sweatshirts with the slogan “Rebuild With Love” emblazoned across the front.
NYC-based Taiwanese-Canadian fashion designer Jason Wu designed the sweater to support Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Aside from their coordinating sweaters, the mother-and-son duo also wore mismatched socks for their voting day look. They rocked Mother Denim “I am a voter” sock on one foot and Biden-Harris white crew socks on the other.

Why New Balance Sneakers Keep Appearing in Celebrity Street Style
Sarah Jessica Parker’s relaxed Election Day outfit highlights a fashion truth that has become increasingly clear over the past decade: classic running sneakers have firmly entered the celebrity style playbook.
Brands like New Balance, once known primarily for performance footwear, are now staples of off-duty celebrity dressing thanks to their retro silhouettes, comfort-first design, and ability to balance high-fashion pieces with everyday practicality. Whether paired with tailored coats, denim, or bold streetwear, the brand’s sneakers continue to bridge the gap between athletic heritage and modern fashion credibility.
