Sarah Jessica Parker dons a Oscar de la Renta sequined bolero jacket and Christian Louboutin heels on the cover of the January 2010 issue of Glamour magazine.
On how her style has changed throughout the years:
“It’s just simpler. I don’t buy anything trendy. I used to be more easily seduced by some momentary idea of what was fashionable. Now I’m slightly savvier. I still have the same ideas in my head about what looks good on me and what doesn’t.”
On juggling motherhood and her career:
It is the eternal conflict of every working woman, and I am not complaining, because I’ve done this to myself. And I have a wonderful, wonderful nanny who allows me to be a working person. The great challenge for me is to be all things to all people; I want to be a great mother, and I want to feel good when I’m at work. But it is hard.
On her modest beginnings:
I feel lucky because [my background gave me] an appreciation for sitting here and having this tea and drinking out of this cup. I am not blind to it. I don’t want my children to feel they have a sense of entitlement. I want them to work hard and be challenged. That’s hard to do when you have everything you need and want, so I am working on those values all the time.
Where she sees herself in 10 years:
Being so greedy, I would like more of the same. Most important to me is my home life and the well-being of my children. Everything as it is now would be thrilling.
Parker can be seen next in Did You Hear About the Morgans? alongside Hugh Grant.
The January 2010 issue of Glamour will hit newsstands on Dec.9.
