Who knew Manhattan's favorite party girl had insecuritiess of the teenie weenie white bikini!
At Tuesday night’s premiere of In Vogue: The Editor’s Eye (which airs today btw), WWD caught up with Sarah Jessica Parker, who makes a cameo in the doc.
When asked about her first Vogue sitting, a 1994 shoot with Grace Coddington and Steven Meisel, Parker recalled, “[Grace Coddington] pulled a teeny-tiny white bikini off the hanger, and in my whole life I had never worn a bikini…I didn’t wear a bikini as a little girl. I certainly didn’t wear a bikini as an older little girl, and nor would I ever put one on today. I thought ‘It’s Grace Coddington, I should put on what she asks me to do.’ Linda Evangelista sat in the corner and told me how to stand. I have never worn a bikini since.”
It’s a story Parker recounted for Vogue.com‘s “Vogue Stories”–a series in which past Vogue subjects recall their big Vogue break. “I thought, I can summon enormous courage and reject the bikini and perhaps end my relationship with Vogue forever, or I can summon a different kind of courage, the kind where you agree to do whatever is asked of you, and that is what I did,” she said.
Good thing she did because she looks incredible in the Miesel photo–and went on to cover Vogue six times.
But that part about having “never worn a bikini” any other time? That seems a bit off–if overly modest (she was the only Sex and the City character to keep her bra on). A quick google search reveals numerous photos of SJP in a bikini. As well she should, she has the bod. And isn’t this the same woman who made purposefully showing off your bra a “thing”? - fashionista.com
