Mustard out
This particular shade of yellow might not be anyone’s first choice for a dress, but Sarah Jessica Parker is pretty much rocking it here:
From Lanvin, it’s somewhere around $7,400. I don’t have an ID on the shoes, alas. The shoes are “Dolly” canvas pumps by Charlotte Olympia.

She’s right on the homely/pretty cusp. Scary when the dress is prettier than the woman wearing it.

She’s always looked frightfully undernourished to me. I’ve never understood why she’s considered “hot” by the conventional wisdom.

Farkers seem to equate her with Frau Blücher.
I was motivated here mostly by the current trend to bad dresses in wonderful colors — this is, by contrast, a nice dress in a color you might consider awful — and by SJP’s 45th birthday last week, which I forgot to mention.
Besides, you guys would get sick of constant Zooey Deschanel pics.

I have long considered it a grave injustice that of all the chicks that were on “Square Pegs,” this one became the mega-star.

I agree on the “undernourished” thing, but what do I know? Lots of actresses and models look too skinny to me.

She has to get points for avoiding all plastic surgery — including a nose job. Rare in Hollywood.

I cherish two bits of verbiage from her past.
In L. A. Story, following a prolonged clinch, the Steve Martin character asks: “What’s the matter with your breasts?”
Comes the explanation: “They’re real.”
Many years later, an interviewer pointed out that both she and hubby Matthew Broderick seemed always to be working.
“We have bills to pay,” said SJP, “and we have no other skills.”

The shoes. Perfect. Yummy.
The dress? Meh. It has mad moments interrupted by a frou-frou sleeve. The asymmetrical deal almost works, but could you imagine it without any sleeves? Yes you can!

I can’t see Mrs. O in this — at least, not without a belt wide enough to carry a couple of grenades.
