One of the most celebrated actresses of our generation, Sarah Jessica Parker is as much a beloved entertainer as she is a fashion icon. From the moment she burst onto the scene in the 1984 “Footloose” film with her big curly hair, we fell in love with her fashion-forward style and one-of-a-kind look. But it’s her landmark role in “Sex and The City” that cemented her status as a legend in the fashion industry. Her trend-setting character, Carrie, wore pieces like a nameplate necklace and Manolo Blahnik pumps that have since become closet staples for women the world over.

She also designed a now-defunct affordable line clothing line, Bitten, and a shoe line, SJP Shoes, currently in stores at Nordstrom.
