Sarah Jessica Parker's shoe collection 'tragedy'
Sex and The City star Sarah Jessica Parker has confessed it's a "tragedy" that neither of her daughters have the right size feet to inherit her extensive collection of designer shoes.
Sarah Jessica Parker's daughters don't have the right size feet to inherit her extensive collection of designer shoes.
The Sex and The City star has a famously opulent footwear stash at home after being allowed to keep all the pricey heels she wore in the hit TV show, but she's now admitted she can't pass on her treasures to her 15-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion because they don't fit.
During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Sarah Jessica explained: "My shoes don't fit them - it's really a tragedy. I'm actually not kidding, I find it really tragic ...
"They can’t [fit], one of them can sort of squeeze [in]."
However, Sarah Jessica admitted the teenagers aren't that bothered about being able to dip into her fabulous wardrobe.
She added: "Their taste is different than mine right now too. Like what I have is not necessarily of interest. They’ve never seen a [Sex and The City] show.
"So they haven’t an idea about what is available to them yet. But I do give, I give them stuff on my all the time, all the time."
Sarah Jessica also revealed the twins use the money they earn from their summer jobs to buy their own clothes, which are mostly second-hand.
She explained: "You know what, so many people rightfully ask that they just don’t … they like clothing and I’ll get a text a couple times a month asking can they purchase something.
"But they mostly buy their clothes used. Almost entirely. Which I think is pretty common now with girls, young women their age, they’ll be 16 later this month.
"So they’re pretty steady. They don’t tend to be trend, they don’t move toward that. They know they don’t have a budget.
"They don’t have money with the exception of what they’ve earned. And one of them is a little bit better at earning than another who’s pretty, she saves pretty well, they both had jobs last summer."
During the podcast, Sarah Jessica also opened up about the contract clause which allowed her to keep all of her Sex and The City pieces.
She said: "Previous to Sex and the City, I started working with a new attorney before I even met my husband. So about 35 years ago. And one of the most important things he said to me, outside of the fact that I think he’s a terrific businessman and a great and fair attorney, is that from the beginning of our relationship, he said: ‘You should always keep your clothing. No matter what it is.’
"And he said: ‘Some studios are gonna be harder to negotiate with about that because they like to have their own archive and that makes sense.’ And he was totally right."
She added: "There are studios that really wanna hang onto stuff. So it’s a very complicated dance to get your pieces. But, so by the time I was doing Sex and the City, it was just in my contract that I have everything.
"I mean, with the exception of something that a designer loaned us that needs to go back or a consignment piece from a vintage shop. But often those same designers would end up saying: ‘Just keep it, have it be part of that archive.’ So yeah, it’s a huge amount."
