Sarah Jessica Parker Duped by Dress Designer
Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker is usually fashion-forward, but at last week’s NYC premiere of the film she found herself behind the times.
Parker, 43, was shocked to learn that her strapless Nina Ricci gown was worn earlier in the month by heiress Lauren (Davis) Santo Domingo to the Met’s Costume Institute Gala (where she walked the carpet with the dress’ designer, Olivier Theyskens).
Making matters worse, Lindsay Lohan wore the gown in an advertising campaign for Disney.
Parker told the New York Times that the designer had assured her the gown had only appeared in magazine shoots.
“Look, my affection for the dress hasn’t changed,” she said. “But what they did was so short-sighted. It’s just unethical and disappointing that they would allow the dress to be worn again.
“[The designer] didn’t say, ‘Well, actually I just escorted Lauren down the red carpet at the Met,’” said Parker, adding, “I just wish it had been handled differently and they had been straight about it.”
