Sarah Jessica Parker has played for years Carrie Bradshaw, the lead character of Sex and the City and later of the revival lasting three seasons And Just Like That…. Carrie became the most iconic and beloved figure of her career, and yet, years on, the actress has explained what is the most common misconception she still has to confront when it comes to her personal life and Carrie Bradshaw.
Sarah Jessica Parker Has Said It: Here Is the Most Common Misconception People Have About Her
In conversations with British Vogue, Sarah Jessica Parker spoke about what makes her most New York, namely the ability to flag down a taxi, or about her signature dish (endless lamb chops), as well as reiterating what is the biggest misperception among fans: “That I am Carrie.”
Carrie Bradshaw is the protagonist of Sex and the City, which launched her television journey in 1998 by introducing a story of friendship, romantic relationships, emotional upheavals, and professional challenges. Carrie, specifically, was portrayed as an eternal romantic, a journalist who covers a column on relationships and dating in New York, with a soft spot for shoes. In the company of a good Cosmopolitan, she entertained her closest friends with countless personal stories and, in matters of the heart, she frequently made mistakes.
After the success of the TV series, Carrie returned to the cinema with two film adaptations. In 2021, the revival And Just Like That arrived, lasting three seasons and ending in 2025. Having portrayed that character for such a long time, fans easily associate Sarah Jessica Parker with Carrie and vice versa, and according to the actress, it is something that happens often.
Both have a fondness for shoes, just as both cannot stand parsley in a dish. But otherwise, Sarah Jessica Parker tends to differentiate herself from Carrie, and even when she has to draw from the character’s wardrobe she proceeds with great caution. She asks herself: “Under what circumstances and in what setting would I wear this piece? Would it be appropriate and safe, or would it be ruined? I am very scrupulous about this.”
