Sarah Jessica Parker is over the criticism she and her “Sex and the City” co-stars have received for how their physical appearances have changed as they’ve gotten older.
“There’s so much misogynist chatter in response to us that would never. Happen. About. A. Man.,” Parker, 56, told Vogue in an accompanying interview for her December cover shoot. “’Gray hair, gray hair, gray hair. Does she have gray hair?’”
Parker is referring to the pics of her rocking her natural gray locks that went viral after she was spotted having lunch with friends in July.
“I’m sitting with Andy Cohen, and he has a full head of gray hair, and he’s exquisite,” Parker recalled. “Why is it OK for him? I don’t know what to tell you people!”
The double-standard is something the “And Just Like That…” star and many other female celebrities have tolerated for years. But in the age of Instagram, Twitter and TikTok, Parker feels that the scrutiny over people’s looks has only gotten louder.
“It almost feels as if people don’t want us to be perfectly OK with where we are, as if they almost enjoy us being pained by who we are today, whether we choose to age naturally and not look perfect, or whether you do something if that makes you feel better,” Parker exclaimed.
“I know what I look like. I have no choice,” she added. “What am I going to do about it? Stop aging? Disappear?”

Or learn to do your hair yourself.
That hairdo is horrible.
During an episode of Top Gear (BBC’s comedy car show), Jeremy Clarkson said SJP had “a face like a boiled horse.”
And that was quite a few bags of oats ago.
Parker was a cow to begin with.....always reminded me of the Wicked witch and even moreso as she’s aged....And her figure was like an old farm hands bones and all.
These older stars just won’t hang it up!! Sheesh let it go.
If you think that’s a real photo then you’re dreaming big......none of her photos have ever been real without being touched up and skimmed off.
Hey Jessica. . the old gray mare. . you know it.
She looks a HECK of a lot older than 56..
I dispute that!
There is a double standard (understandably so)!
While woman is still young and hawt, she can garner tons of attention and social credit and money and special treatment and sympathy and MONEY and extra favors and MONEY!!
If she becomes a celebrity, she can parlay her looks into a financial empire.
Millions of guys drool over her. They lust after her.
During this phase of her "career," she at least tacitly allows, approves, or even blatantly encourages this phenomenon.
When her Sexual Market Value declines, however, there is some "payback."
Sarah Jessica Parker is now reaping what she has sowed. She is in the "payback" phase.
Male celebrities will be subject to just as much scrutiny, and to just as much shaming - though it will probably focus on other physical aspects, such as having a paunch, double chin, bags under the eyes, bushy hair growing out of their ears, baldness, etc.
For some reason, however, merely having gray hair doesn't seem to be a point of contention.
Regards,
My wife is still a beauty (even in a bikini) at 67 but she’s had white hair starting in her late 40’s (white not grey, mind you).
This Parker gal has had a lot of work I bet but if any of it included a nose job she should demand her money back.
;-)
When my dad died at 89, his hair had thinned some but not really receded, and was probably still 80% black. I’m 58 and way less gray than she is (and way less obsessed about it).
I don’t know about that. If she paid money for that schnozz, she probably got a pretty fair price per pound.
What’s the problem? She looks good for an old bag.
J/K. People get so full of themselves sometimes. Time is the great equalizer.
One of the ugliest women in Hollyweird. I can’t see for a moment how she was considered a “beauty” in any way. She has always looked like she had an old-man’s face and a scrawny body. Please just go away so we don’t have to look at her.
Disappearing would be an excellent option, hahahaha!
The HollyWeirds get so addicted to people fawning over them that they have a hissy fit when the world stops doing so. They just seem to never grow up.
Tried watching her show once a very long time ago...it was boring and full of superficial, snarky women. No thanks.
Never understood what all the accolades were abouut and now she’s an old hag. Beats the heck out of being a deceased one I would think??
Indeed
I earned every wrinkle and gray hair
HOORAY for you.
She brought this on herself. Buy some L’Oreal for Heaven’s sake.
LOL - I wasn’t expecting that! Hilarious!!!
