Celebrity beauty icon - Sarah Jessica Parker

SJP is back! With a new film out, I Don’t Know How She Does It, we’re awarding Sarah Jessica Parker the accolade of celebrity beauty icon as we go ga-ga for all things SJP . Here are just a few of the reasons as to why we love her so...

One of us...

Why do we love SJP so much? Because we can\'t help but feel that, at heart, she\'s one of us. She may not have the perfect hair or the flawless face, but hey, neither do we, and it\'s fair to say that Sarah Jessica never looks short of fabulous on any red carpet she graces. Michael Patrick King, writer of SATC, sums our feelings up beautifully; \"She is perfect-imperfect. She\'s not a model, but she\'s model-beautiful - people can imagine themselves as her.\" Amen to that.

A girl\'s gal

Lesser beings would have crumbled when branded Unsexiest Woman Alive, as she was recently in a certain men\'s magazine poll, but SJP merely laughed off the critics\' comments, \"What they don\'t know is one day I\'ll wake up fat, but I\'ll still be happy, just like I am now.\" Even though Sarah Jessica admits it was \"brutal\", she isn\'t bothered by the scathing survey \"I believe in the old ‘sticks and stones\' philosophy, so frankly their words don\'t come close to hurting. And it does not bother me in the least if people don\'t think I\'m sexy, I don\'t think I am either.\"

On getting older...

\"You can\'t battle it,\" she says. Although SJP celebrated her 43rd birthday this year, that enviably glowing complexion could belong to a woman half her age. \"I believe in ageing gracefully and, of course, buying as many anti-ageing creams as possible!\" In fact, Sarah Jessica trusts her skin to natural rose hip seed oil Rosa Mosqueta by Aubrey Organics to help keep lines and wrinkles at bay.

On avoiding the surgeon\'s knife...

\"You see the attempts of people trying to stop it [getting older], but I don\'t want to do that.\" SJP has said she\'s surprised at the amount of Hollywood stars that pop off for a quick dose of forehead-filling and dermatological refreshment during breaks in filming. \"It\'s mad,\" she recently told a leading UK magazine, \"It seems no one can move their foreheads any more, and their faces are all fluffy and bouncy.\"

However, being a sweetie at heart, Sarah Jessica is careful not to pass judgment on anyone in particular. \"I don\'t want to criticise people for doing something they want, especially when four years later, you know, you\'re doing it and people go, ‘She looks insane!\'\"

On her usual look...

SJP insists she\'s not as stylish as her on-screen persona, Carrie Bradshaw, though we\'re not sure we believe it. \"I never dress up that much. I can\'t even blow-dry my own hair and I don\'t know how to put make-up on either! I never do my nails. I\'ve probably worn nail polish twice in 10 years,\" she said recently. \"I\'ll admit I do know how to cover a zit and put on mascara and eyeliner, but I can only out my hair into a ponytail, nothing else.\" Well, you don\'t look bad for it, love!

On being a scent-sation

With three fragrances under her fashion-forward belt so far, SJP merges the stylish worlds of fashion and beauty with such success, it resulted in record sales for the launch of her first fragrance Lovely. \"Creating a fragrance has been a lifelong dream,\" she said at the time, \"I really wanted it to be sexy, and not to come into a room before the woman wearing it! I used my love of layering scents to inspire a fragrance that\'s timeless.\" This is not a celebrity that just puts her name to any old perfume; SJP is involved with every aspect of the decision making.

A handbag Beauty Icon

The style, the clothes, the refreshing attitude... Sarah Jessica Parker may not be conventionally beautiful, but that\'s not what we look for when we crown a starlet a Beauty Icon here at Handbag Towers. With a red carpet look to die for, a successful fragrance empire and a permanent smile regardless, SJP is well worthy of the title.
