Female Icons of the 2000s: Then and Now

#28: Sarah Jessica Parker Now

Decades later, SJP still carries that same spark — just with a little more polish. She’s back as Carrie in And Just Like That…, giving the character (and herself) room to age, evolve, and stay stylishly complicated. It’s nostalgia done right — not trying to relive the past, but reimagining it.

Off-screen, she runs her own successful shoe line and continues to embody New York energy: busy, graceful, and slightly chaotic. Sarah Jessica Parker has outlasted trends and typecasts. She didn’t just play an icon — she became one, in heels that never seem to slow her down.
