In May 2019, Sarah Jessica Parker stepped out on the red carpet at the 2019 GLAAD Media Awards at the Hilton Midtown in New York City, effortlessly elongating her petite 5’2½” frame with heels tucked beneath her dramatic Elie Saab gown.
While her shoes were hidden by the sweeping train, there’s no doubt the style icon relied on one of her signature elevated pairs to enhance her presence—and we can’t help but wish she had worn her own Lucille bow-embellished pumps from the SJP Collection.

Supporting a Friend and a Cause: SJP Honors Andy Cohen at GLAAD Awards
She was there to support her friend Andy Cohen, an American radio and television talk show host who received the Vito Russo Award.
The award is presented to an openly LGBTQ media professional who has significantly contributed to accelerating LGBTQ acceptance.
“Andy Cohen is a force in the entertainment industry who consistently prioritizes and celebrates LGBTQ stories,” said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis. “Both on-screen and behind-the-scenes, Andy’s trademark brand of LGBTQ advocacy has resulted in some of the buzziest and entertaining culture changing moments.”

Gown Goals—But What About the Shoes? SJP’s Hidden Heels Moment
The American actress, producer, and designer donned a colorful printed gown from the Elie Saab Fall 2019 Collection and accessorized with a statement necklace and silklike flowers in her hair.
Unfortunately, her shoes could not be seen due to the length of her dress, but we can’t help but wish she had opted for her own Lucille bow-embellished pumps. You can buy these statement heels in blue, black, moonstone, candy, and rose on Amazon.
