The star, who plays fashion-savvy writer Carrie Bradshaw in Sex And The City, wore the Alexander McQueen dress as a tribute to the British designer who died earlier this year.
“There’s no question Alexander’s breathtaking work will endure,” said Sarah, 45, after picking out the stunning dress for the annual Council of Fashion Designers of America awards in New York on Monday.
“I would have loved to see what he would do next.”
The dress flattered SJP’s slim frame but also showed off her muscly arms, proving that her ballet work-outs may be paying off a little too well.
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, 37, arrived in a sequined gown by Michael Kors. And she had to look just right – the designer himself was there to keep an eye on his creation.
