Sarah Jessica Parker is beautiful inside and out. She is incredibly talented and is most known for her work as an actress. One of her most famous and critically acclaimed roles came from her time starring as Carrie Bradshaw on the TV series “Sex and the City” from 1998 until 2004. The show was recognized for breaking new ground when it came to female representation on-screen.
“Sex and the City” was a huge success and to this day continues to have a strong following, so much so that in 2021 a spin-off series was released, with Parker reprising her beloved role. Though many fans were overjoyed about the return of the characters from the original series in the spin-off, “And Just Like That…,” not everyone was positive about the series.
Several trolls took to the internet to share their distaste for Parker’s casting, and they pointed out just how much she has aged since the original show aired. This included harsh criticism about how Parker had let her gray hair grow out.
However, the actress did not put up with the backlash and criticism, as in November 2021, she talked about the realities of being a working actress at any age and aging in the public eye. She also called out just how unfair and misogynistic people were acting toward her for just doing what everyone does: age. She spoke at length about her reaction to the unwarranted comments and touched on what she plans on doing career-wise in the future.
However, on Sept. 19, 2023, Parker shocked many when she dyed her hair blonde again, getting rid of all the gray hair that got people talking. Read on to learn more about Parker’s thoughts about aging and the reason for dyeing her hair blonde again!

Parker has been an icon in the entertainment industry for several decades. While she is most known for her role as Carrie Bradshaw in “Sex and the City,” she had already been a respected actress for many years beforehand. She made her Broadway debut at the young age of 11 before continuing to act on stage. Later, Parker landed roles in films, including “Hocus Pocus,” “The First Wives Club” and “Failure to Launch.”
It’s not surprising that Parker’s work has been loved by fans, and it has also been received well by critics. The actress has received plenty of accolades, including Golden Globe Awards and Primetime Emmy Awards.

Taking all of this into consideration, it’s easy to see that Parker has led a very remarkable life. On top of that, she is also an extremely gorgeous woman and has been recognized as a style icon by many. However, even Parker hasn’t been able to avoid the harsh criticism about her appearance as she ages, as many other celebrities have received similar comments.
In a Vogue interview, Parker spoke at length about misogyny.
“There’s so much misogynist chatter in response to us that would never. Happen. About. A. Man,” she pointed out.
In the piece, Parker talked about how hypocritical it was for people to shame her and other actresses for having gray hair but not shame men in the industry for having the same appearance. Parker also pointed out how people seem to be emboldened by social media, anonymously shaming her for anything, whether it be too many wrinkles or not enough wrinkles.

On July 21, 2023, the conversation about Parker’s gray hair and her decision to rock it naturally reached a fever pitch. When she was seen taking a breather from filming “And Just Like That…,” Parker was spotted hanging out with her pal Andy Cohen in New York. Cohen, 55, is proud of his gray hair.
