Sarah Jessica Parker would "never" tell people what to wear.

The Sex and the City actress is known for her sense of style but she insisted she wouldn't want to use her status to influence what other people step out in.

Asked her advice on the best cold-weather outfit, she told WWD: “I never tell anybody what is right or wrong or what they should or shouldn’t be wearing. In a million years, I would never.

“I would simply say to feel most like yourself.”

However, the 60-year-old star urged people to take risks and wear the things they've always dreamed of.

She said: "If you have a fantasy about tartan and colours and jewel-toned tights and patent leather, then wear it! All those rules now, they’re just gone."

Sarah Jessica is fronting a campaign for Google Shopping's AI-powered try-on tool, which allows shoppers to see how clothing listings will look on their own bodies, and though she thinks it can't "replicate" the experience of trying things on and seeing garments in store, she believes it is very helpful when it comes to online shopping.

She said: “I’m certain AI hasn’t been able to replicate that yet. But all the in-between guesswork that happens [during online shopping] — like, ‘Does it suit my height and hair colour? Will this be a good gift for somebody who’s a little taller than me?’ — will be cut out."

And users can enjoy trying outfits they wouldn't normally wear out.

She added: "[The technology] allows you to live in a fantasy."

When it comes to the festive season, the actress has a new favourite garment.

She said: "It's a houndstooth coat with one gold thread running through it."

But the "shy" star - who has James, 23, and twins Loretta and Tabitha, 16, with husband Matthew Broderick - isn't always a fan of major social events.

She said: “Bigger parties intimidate me, so I try to do anything I can to feel closer to myself when I’m out in the world, especially in social engagements.”
