Sarah Jessica Parker wears bizarre outfit to play opening

Sarah Jessica Parker
The off Broadway production of “Mary Stuart” opened yesterday at the Broadhurst Theatre in NY. “Stuart” is a drama about the rivalry between Queen Mary of Scotland and Queen Elizabeth I, and stars Harriet Walter and Janet McTeer. Celebrities were on hand at the opening yesterday, including Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, Kevin Spacey, Laura Linney, and Marcia Gay Harden.

Parker wore a black satin sheath paired with skinny black pants, a black tuxedo jacket, and fushcia pink shoes with bows on them. The 44 year-old actress was at the opening with her husband of over 11 years, Matthew Broderick. Breakup rumors have dodged the pair for months, but they happily posed together and looked like everything was fine despite Parker’s outfit. It’s like Parker is mimicking her SATC character’s fashion risks and getting it wrong, particularly with the shoes. This isn’t the first time she’s raised eyebrows with her fashion and it won’t be the last. At least her husband doesn’t seem to mind.

It’s nice to see Liam Neeson out and about supported by friends. Last Wednesday Neeson took in a Knicks game with his sons, Daniel and Michael, and family friend, actor Aidan Quinn.

    It’s not just her outfit – it’s her husband’s as well! Sideburns and a bow tie?

    He looks like a college English professor from 1970 from the neck up, and a college English professor from 1950 from the neck down.

    And she looks like Minnie Mouse on acid.

  2. nag says:

    She looks out of it and he looks uncomfortable. I’d say they are not happy together.

  3. Morfina says:

    Why are her legs always so open?

  4. pixiegirl says:

    He looks a bit like Pee-Wee Herman, no? And yes, her outfit is bizarre, but strange as it is, he trumps her in the weird outfit realm on this one.

  5. RAN says:

    “And she looks like Minnie Mouse on acid.”

    @ Candykay – I laughed out loud at that comment. 🙂

    I sorta think her shoes are cute, although I doubt I’d wear them. Neither of them look particularly spiffy in what they’re wearing.

  6. fabulous says:

    I think she looks great – the only ‘bizarre’ thing about the outfit is the padded shoulders on the jacket. They look strange because she has the jacket draped over her which spoils the line.

  7. Wench says:

    Um. What?
    I think she’s looks cute. Simplistic. I adore the shoes.

    I agree, not so keen on the sideburns but if more men still wore brogues and bow ties the world would be a great place! I love it.

  8. heh-heh says:

    It looks like The Jetson Nobody Talks About is dating a Civil War general.

    Why are her legs always so open?

    Because no one’s been there in ages?

  9. j. ferber says:

    Heh-Heh, Are you suggesting the marriage is a sham? If so, I’d like to hear more about that. On another note, I love that Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes have their arms draped over one another. What a good friend Fiennes is. Aiden Quinn appeared with Richardson in a movie years ago. It seems like she always made long-lasting friends with her co-stars (including Mia Farrow). I loved that after Mia’s break-up with Woody, when most Hollywood actors flocked to him because he was more relevant to their careers, Richardson and Neeson immediately made a movie with Farrow. What class acts.

  10. Tess says:

    If I were her, I’d be tempted to have a cosmetic surgery intervention. Just a smidge (or more) shaved off that chin and her nose. Both of which drag her face ever more southward.

    But, got to admit, I do respect her for NOT doing so.

  11. anastasiabeaverhausen says:

    Morfina: you cracked me up with your comment.

  12. bella mama says:

    other than the pointy shoulders on the jacket, what’s so wrong about the outfit? i like it, and I’m not usually one who likes her wardrobe choices.

  13. heh-heh says:

    Heh-Heh, Are you suggesting the marriage is a sham? If so, I’d like to hear more about that.

    I can’t imagine a man marrying her for any other reason than to cover up his homosexuality. 😉

    I’m not a celeb insider but I’ve found a few uncensored goss sites over the years.

    This one has a lot of dirt:

    ANother fave:http://www.gossiplist.com/dirt/m/alyssa_milano.htm

    “Alyssa Milano:
    has actually eaten shit; on one movie set in Canada, she infuriated a propmaster and after bitching him out, she ordered him to get her something off the craft services table (food bar). He got her a hot dog, but before giving it to her, shoved his shit in it using a pen’s inkwell…”

    There’s a link on this page, too…

    Spread the hate, people.

  14. geronimo says:

    Not in the least bizarre. As fabulous says, only the jacket is a bit off because of how she’s wearing it. And I LOVE the shoes!

    I quite like that these two march to their own beat.

  15. Bros says:

    I think dlisted has put it wisely:

    “Obviously, these two are getting dressed in two different closets in probably two different rooms! Matthew Broderick looks like a child toucher with a serious case of halitosis who charms you with his accordion playing and then offers you some candy from his jar. Meanwhile, Sarah Jessica Parker is looking like a Day-glo Disco My Little Pony left on the dusty backroom storage
    shelf of a Toys R Us in Indiana
    since the 80s.”

  16. j. ferber says:

    Thanks, Heh-Heh. I’ve actually heard from a family friend who was interviewed for a job by Parker, that Parker is a genuinely nice person. So hopefully her husband married her for her lovely soul. Also, maybe she likes to show off her slim legs in photos.

  17. Bellatrix says:

    This outfit is anything but bizarre… I wear such looks on daily basis when I have meetings or am going out.

    It’s easy: well tailored black jacket, well tailored skinny trousers, well tailored black dress. Add a pair of spicy shoes and a vintage clutch purse. Tadaa, there you go.
    You don’t even have to bother about jewellery as the shoes do the trick.

    I do have some concerns with Broderick’s clothing. Or it might just be the fact he’s trying to grow Wolverine sideburns.

  18. dizzybenny says:

    i’m surprised to see Liam Neeson out on the town!
    if my wife died i would probably be in the dumps for 6 months,but i guess certain people have different ways to get over it.
    being he’s with friends and seeing a play might change his mind a bit.

  19. j. ferber says:

    Bellatrix, I like your style. That’s the ticket: wow ’em at your meetings!

  20. MomInNH says:

    MB looks like a total pedo. But SJP’s outfit isn’t horrendous. Like several posters have said, the huge pointy shoulders have to go. And those shoes?!? Um, not since 1990 miss thang.

  21. nony says:

    I love the shoes, and all she’s done is chosen to make those the main attraction with her black outfit, in comparison.

    She has the perfect figure for her choice of attire, and her personality is by far unique enough to carry it off.

  22. aleach says:

    she looks way hot! i need those shoes!

  23. Lindy says:

    Matthew has sideburns because he is playing in the Philanthropist and he is cast as an English professor from the 70’s. I saw his interview on the TODAY show and he was talking about those wicked sideburns. I don’t know about the bowtie, maybe he is trying to be quirky.
    Sarah looks hot in her outfit. She can wear anything, the most ridiculous and pull it off.

  24. the original kate says:

    she always looks hungry and he always looks constipated. but i love them anyway!

    on a side note, it’s nice to see liam out and about.

  25. ChristinaT says:

    um… wtf? is she going schizo?

  26. judy says:

    She is becoming boring. If I were her husband I probably would start looking for someone who had some class. She is not a beauty and should learn to bring out her best assets and not dress like a fool.

  27. Mel says:

    I think her shoes are super cute. I don’t think she looks bizarre.

  28. Trashaddict says:

    Hi, Liam.

  29. kiki says:

    He looks like a pedophile. Wtf is he thinking?? looking like that in public? i honestly hope they get divorced. You can see how estranged they are just by the looks on their faces. There is no connection whatsoever. They both seem lost.
