Before there was Carrie Bradshaw, there was Sarah Jessica Parker<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While the star’s iconic Sex and the City<\/a><\/em> character cemented her status as a fashion legend on-screen, SJP’s personal style is arguably even more enduring than Carrie’s. <\/p>\n

For decades, Parker, who celebrates her 55th birthday on March 25, has proven to be one of Hollywood’s most daring and dependable style MVPs. When she chooses to hit a red carpet you know you are in for a treat. <\/p>\n

Whether it’s her jawdropping moments at the Met Gala each year or her ahead-of-their-time ensembles from the ’80s, the Divorce<\/em> star always manages to find the perfect balance of trendy and timeless, effortless and fabulous.<\/p>\n

“Style is what the individual brings. More often than not, we are drawn to people because they have personal style,” Parker once told Harper’s Bazaar.<\/em><\/a> “Fashion is what is offered to the consumer. Style is what you make of it.”<\/p>\n

And she’s arguably made more of it than any other Hollywood star over the years.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While we happily and easily could’ve chosen well over 100 looks from SJP’s fashion history, we managed to narrow the list down to 30 of her most impactful red carpet moments.<\/p>\n

Imagine if we had included her impeccable street style, too? The woman has turned the streets of New York City into her runway.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

And let the evidence of SJP’s Met Gala dominance commence with one of her quieter looks, which is still a knockout. <\/p>\n

For “Schiaparelli And Prada: Impossible Conversations,” Parker went unapologetically feminine, wearing a pink floral Valentino gown, with the color serving as a nod to Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli’s signature color.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

For the premiere of her HBO series Divorce<\/em>, Parker turned to a color she doesn’t often wear, wearing a rhinestone-encrusted Dolce & Gabbana purple lace dress.<\/p>\n

But what really love about this look is that she went for a slight surprise when her footwear, turning to bronze heels from her own SJP collection rather than go for a standard black or nude heel. It’s small decisions like that that make SJP such an icon.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

For the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and The Catholic Imagination theme, SJP paired her ornate headpiece with a stunning Dolce & Gabbana gown with a heart motif and showstopping train. <\/p>\n

“I am inspired by the themes. One can only do your best,” she told E! News on the red carpet. “This was particularly enjoyable because Dolce & Gabbana\u2014they’re devoted observant Catholics\u2014and so they’ve grown up with the church and imagery and they had a lot of strong feelings and beautiful sketches so it was easy.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
