Sarah Jessica Parker, 59, slammed for wearing sheer dress that flaunts her figure – “She’s too old”

Aging is a funny thing. Ask most people, and they’ll tell you that the most perplexing aspect lies in your outward appearance changing while the real you feels the same inside.

It’s also bemusing that certain individuals poke fun at others for getting older, as if they themselves won’t inevitably face the same process.

Here at Newsner, we stand firmly against putting anyone down or criticizing their appearance. It’s jarring how often this happens, especially to celebrities. Unfortunately, the internet has made it all too easy for people to air mean opinions without concern for reprisal. While everyone has a right to their opinions, if you’ve got nothing nice to say, perhaps it’s best not to say anything at all.

This week, iconic actress Sarah Jessica Parker found herself in the social media firing line over her decision to wear a certain dress on the set of And Just Like That.

At 59, SJP has been in the public eye for a very long time, having risen swiftly up the rungs of fame after the wild popularity of Sex and the City. As such, she’s likely well-acquainted with the fickle nature of online opinions.

Even so, she might not have expected some of the distasteful comments posted on a picture she shared this week from the set of And Just Like That, the follow-up series to Sex and the City.

The image featured Sarah Jessica Parker—reprising her famous role as Carrie—wearing a sheer nude dress that revealed her orange underwear and black bra underneath.

While the majority of people expressed their appreciation for the actress, there were others who criticized the costume.

“Yeah, why did they assume her style would be like this in her 50s?” pondered one person on Instagram.

“She’s too old,” added another.

A third said, “Clothes are horrible, terrible fashion.”

Others were kinder in their assessments, writing things like, “Carrie hasn’t aged a day.”

“The cutest, our Carrie is backkk,” another said.

A third added, “Queen, queen, queen.”
