In September 2018, Sarah Jessica Parker brought high fashion to the New York City Ballet Fall Gala held at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in NYC.
The 53-year-old actress was a sight to behold in a scarlet-red Giles Deacon Couture ball gown featuring puffed shoulders and a voluminous high-low skirt.

We admit that we found SJP’s look to be too much at first but grew to love the look given that it was worn to a fashion event.
The lovely details of the gown such as the Victorian-style buttons on the cuffs and the lengthening seams on the sheer long sleeves were what jumped out at us.

Then, when SJP turned around, we got an eyeful of that sexy sheer back. When we spotted the black velvet stripe going down the middle, SJP’s black velvet ponytail suddenly made sense.

For this couture look, SJP made sure to bring out the big guns in the shoe department. She whipped out her eponymous shoe line’s most expensive style, the ‘Veronique’ pumps made of satin and encrusted in sparkling stones.

We haven’t confirmed yet if the sparklers are Swarovski crystals, which would justify the pumps’ whopping $895 price tag. Still, we never expected to see Louboutin prices from the SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker shoe label.

SJP Brings the Sparkle: ‘Rampling’ Pumps on Set for Intimissimi’s Fall/Winter Campaign
A few months earlier, Sarah Jessica was spotted wearing the comparable SJP ‘Rampling’ pumps while shooting scenes for Intimissimi’s Fall/Winter 2018 campaign.

The ‘Rampling’ style also features a glittery exterior and the same straight-across-the-vamp design without a hefty price tag.

The’ Rampling’ delivers the same sparkly style for as much as 80 percent less than the price of the ‘Veronique’ pumps.
