Sarah Jessica Parker's shoe collection 'tragedy'
Sarah Jessica Parker's daughters don't have the right size feet to inherit her extensive collection of designer shoes.
The Sex and The City star has a famously opulent footwear stash at home after being allowed to keep all the pricey heels she wore in the hit TV show, but she's now admitted she can't pass on her treasures to her 15-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion because they don't fit.
During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Sarah Jessica explained: "My shoes don't fit them - it's really a tragedy. I'm actually not kidding, I find it really tragic ...
"They can't [fit], one of them can sort of squeeze [in]."
However, Sarah Jessica admitted the teenagers aren't that bothered about being able to dip into her fabulous wardrobe.
She added: "Their taste is different than mine right now too. Like what I have is not necessarily of interest. They've never seen a [Sex and The City] show.
"So they haven't an idea about what is available to them yet. But I do give, I give them stuff on my all the time, all the time."
Sarah Jessica also revealed the twins use the money they earn from their summer jobs to buy their own clothes, which are mostly second-hand.
She explained: "You know what, so many people rightfully ask that they just don't … they like clothing and I'll get a text a couple times a month asking can they purchase something.
"But they mostly buy their clothes used. Almost entirely. Which I think is pretty common now with girls, young women their age, they'll be 16 later this month.
"So they're pretty steady. They don't tend to be trend, they don't move toward that. They know they don't have a budget.
"They don't have money with the exception of what they've earned. And one of them is a little bit better at earning than another who's pretty, she saves pretty well, they both had jobs last summer."
During the podcast, Sarah Jessica also opened up about the contract clause which allowed her to keep all of her Sex and The City pieces.
She said: "Previous to Sex and the City, I started working with a new attorney before I even met my husband. So about 35 years ago. And one of the most important things he said to me, outside of the fact that I think he's a terrific businessman and a great and fair attorney, is that from the beginning of our relationship, he said: 'You should always keep your clothing. No matter what it is.'
"And he said: 'Some studios are gonna be harder to negotiate with about that because they like to have their own archive and that makes sense.' And he was totally right."
She added: "There are studios that really wanna hang onto stuff. So it's a very complicated dance to get your pieces. But, so by the time I was doing Sex and the City, it was just in my contract that I have everything.
"I mean, with the exception of something that a designer loaned us that needs to go back or a consignment piece from a vintage shop. But often those same designers would end up saying: 'Just keep it, have it be part of that archive.' So yeah, it's a huge amount."

Sarah Jessica Parker reveals ‘unpleasant' part of playing Carrie on Sex and the City: ‘Sobbing'
Don't miss out on the headlines from TV. Followed categories will be added to My News. Sarah Jessica Parker 'wasn't prepared for public commentary' about her physical appearance when Sex and the City debuted in 1998. 'That was really unpleasant at times when people would have opinions — not about the work,' the actress, 60, told podcaster Alex Cooper on Wednesday's episode of Call Her Daddy. While Parker would 'sometimes' get frustrated with viewers' 'misunderstanding' of her character, Carrie Bradshaw, she said it was 'the personal stuff' that really got to her, reports Page Six. 'At that time, I thought I was a fairly confident person,' she shared, explaining that 'it really comes into question and is tested when you're filleted, in a way, when you're opened up.' Despite the pain it caused, Parker said, 'I know you know this: We're better for those kinds of experiences, but not all of us are good at it right away.' Parker appeared as a guest on the Call Her Daddy podcast. Picture: Supplied When Cooper, 30, argued, 'It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt,' Parker agreed, adding, 'Up to that point, there was no chatter about me. … There was just my work.' When asked point-blank about some of the 'harder comments' she had to hear, the Hocus Pocus star replied, 'I think just discussions of my physical person. Like, stuff that I couldn't change and wouldn't change and had never considered changing — even still after hearing something that was like, 'What? Somebody would say that?'' To Parker, the 'chatter' about her face and body 'didn't feel like it was actually a conversation.' 'I didn't feel like I could sit in a room and someone would say to me, 'You're really unattractive,'' she said. 'And then I could say, 'Wow. First of all, that's hard to hear, but second of all, why do you seem angry about it? Why do you feel it's necessary to say it, to comment?'' She played Carrie Bradshaw on the original series – and has reprised the role in And Just Like That. The mother of three, who has been married to actor Matthew Broderick since 1997, recalled one specific time when 'a magazine said something really mean' about how she looks. 'It was like a kick in the rubber parts,' she admitted. 'I was just like, 'Why is this a problem? Why is this deserving of your time and why do you seem to delight in saying it?'' Parker confessed that the remark, which she did not repeat, left her 'sobbing because it felt so purposeful.' She believed that was 'the only time [she] really cried about' negative comments about her physical appearance. The Emmy Award winner, who made sure to note that social media has changed the landscape of how the public shares its opinion, wondered whether her critics would 'say it to [her] face.'

Sarah Jessica Parker speaks out about ‘cruel' commentary on her looks
After decades in the entertainment industry, Sarah Jessica Parker knows how to brush off haters and online trolls, but she didn't always have an easy time navigating criticism, especially about her physical appearance. During the June 18 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, the actor opened up about 'cruel' comments she faced in the early days of her career while starring on Sex and the City. Parker began by acknowledging that she 'wasn't prepared' for the level of scrutiny she would receive while starring on the hit series, which premiered in 1998, and called it 'a real test of my coping mechanisms.' 'There was no chatter about me (before this time). There was just my work,' she said. Host Alex Cooper then asked Parker which comments bothered her the most. 'I think just discussions of my physical person,' Parker said, gesturing at herself. 'Like stuff that I couldn't change, and wouldn't change, and had never considered changing, or even still after hearing something that was like, 'What? Somebody would say that?' (I) even still (had) no interest in changing it.' The 60-year-old went on to say it particularly bothered her that these comments were either made behind her back or in news publications. 'I didn't feel like it was actually a conversation. I didn't feel like I could sit in a room, and someone would say to me, 'You're really unattractive'. And then I could say, 'Wow, um, well first of all, that's hard to hear. But second of all, why do you seem angry about it?' Or, 'Why do you feel it's necessary to say it?',' she said. As for being able to let something go, especially when considering unrealistic beauty standards, Parker said: 'I think, maybe, there's a threshold where, maybe, crying about it because it just seemed so cruel was like done.' She then inserted one of Carrie Bradshaw's famous catchphrases and 'couldn't help but wonder' if these critics would say these mean remarks to her face. Earlier in her conversation with Cooper, Parker recalled the one time she cried about 'really mean' comments a magazine made about her appearance. 'It was like a kick in the rubber parts,' she said. 'I was just like, 'Why is this a problem? Why is this deserving of your time? And why do you seem to delight in saying it?' 'I was sobbing because it felt so purposeful. 'And I think that's the only time I really cried about it.' Parker described the moment as an 'accumulation' of comments she'd recently read, and at another point in the conversation said she considered herself a 'fairly confident person' at the time. 'I think (confidence) really comes into question and is tested when you're kind of filleted in a way, when you're opened up,' she said. 'And I know you know this, we're better for those kinds of experiences. But not all of us are good at it right away.' Cooper understood completely and said: 'And it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.'
