The Crossbody Bag

Sarah Jessica Parker pulls off the impossible and wears a crossbody bag with a ball gown.

Leave it to Sarah Jessica Parker to do the unexpected. The style star, who consistently turns out one-of-a-kind looks that are always enviable and dream-worthy, stepped out on the red carpet for the Broadway debut of Hamilton in New York City in a teal Elie Saab haute couture ball gown. Traditionally, a dress this elaborately embroidered and perfectly tailored calls for a sleek minaudière, but instead, Parker opted for a multi-colored snakeskin-printed crossbody bag—and it fit the bill just as well.

What makes this look a success is that it's a true representation of Parker's innate sense of style. Simply put, she can throw things together like no other. The New Yorker looks as though she got ready and dashed out the door like a natural glamour girl who's always as polished as can be. But, like the true red-carpet regular that she is, Parker slid off her crossbody bag after she arrived and posed for the cameras like a pro.
