Met Gala has not always been glamorous and attractive to Sarah Jessica Parker.In a new conversation with trendAs part of the “Life in Looks” segment, Parker analyzed 10 Met Gala looks from 1995 to the present. This includes the Met Gala moment with Alexander McQueen in 2006.

“When I was invited to talk about the theme, I said out loud. [that] I really wish I could go with him — we called him Lee — I wish I could go with Lee. I wish I could go with McQueen, “Parker started with the 2006 incident, with the theme” Anglo Mania: British Fashion Traditions and Violations. “

She continued. “A lot of things came to my mind. A — He would say no, he has already been asked, he is sought, he is obliged. And I am about him. I didn’t know much about it. I summoned courage and whatever I needed, and I reached out and asked if he would consider attending with me that night. Can you be with me? And he said so. “

Parker’s most memorable photo of the red carpet in Gala today was looking at a pair that matched the appearance of the plaid, the position of his head in the photo.

“What surprises me with this picture is where our heads are, and how careful or cautious I am, or how shy he was. And I see it with this. “Parker shared. “I’m paying close attention to him. I feel like I’m literally saying,” Are you okay? “

“It wasn’t a fun night,” she continued. “Yes, but not because I was nervous. I wanted him to be okay. He knew how I felt about him, and so much love and so deep. There was praise. “

Parker raids the late British fashion designer and reveals that she has held all the “pins” and souvenirs from various fittings over the years.

“I still have all the pins he dropped from my mouth. I still have everything he has in my mouth. From all the fittings I went with him , I have something that looks like nothing. I have my own. “

As one of her favorite looks for many years, Parker said it should look from a ball with the theme of “Punk: Chaos to Couture” in 2013. I wear it on my way to the annual gala.

“When I sat in my seat, my helmet didn’t fit, so I had to sit on the floor to get to Met,” she said.

It’s hard to pull out, but the 57-year-old actress said it was a perfectly cohesive look.

“You’re always working really hard. Sometimes it comes together in amazing ways, sometimes it’s exactly what you planned. For a variety of reasons, it’s missing. And this is all at the same time. It was just one of the things that arrived and everyone did their job. “

Met Gala will be back on May 2nd with the theme of “Gilding Glamor”.
