SATC2 & Sarah Jessica Parker Go For the Gold

Sarah Jessica Parker's image has been looking down on the Bryant Park tents during New York Fashion Week (from billboards promoting Sex and the City 2, coming in May), but you can't see her eyes because she's wearing enormous, mirrored gold frames, above, by Bernhard Willhelm for MYKITA. Parker's a tiny woman, but she's got a big personality (not to mention loads of style) so she carries these off; however, even on her they suggest, by turns, campy Vegas day-trippers, bug-eyed alien fauna or robotic Blade Runner replicants (which aren't necessarily bad things, just a lot to live up to). Some people will pop these on and look stunning; others will be overwhelmed. Know for sure which group you're in before leaving the store.
