How Tall Is Sarah Jessica Parker?
Sarah Jessica Parker has been a style icon for over two decades. The "Sex And The City" star embodied the iconic fashionista Carrie Bradshaw on the HBO series for six seasons, again for two film installments, and the current reboot, "And Just Like That." Parker shared with Cosmopolitan that she was in disbelief about returning to the beloved role, saying, "I didn't think it was going to happen."
With her many years in the public eye, Parker, who turned 56 in 2021, has been subject to plenty of age shaming in her career. The actor hit back at criticism over her appearance as the cover star for Vogue. "It almost feels as if people don't want us to be perfectly okay 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," she said. "I know what I look like. I have no choice. What am I going to do about it? Stop aging? Disappear?"
Of course, the notorious SJP isn't going anywhere and neither is her long-envied, New York City style. As such a big name in fashion and entertainment, one can't help but wonder ... how tall is the "Sex And The City" star?
Carrie Bradshaw is almost a foot shorter than Mr. Big
Despite taking command of Manhattan in "Sex And The City," Sarah Jessica Parker stands at just 5 feet 3 inches, per Daily Mail. The pint-sized star is the shortest among her "Sex And The City" co-stars — Kim Catrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, according to The List. Parker's stature puts her at a sizable height difference from her co-star Chris Noth, who plays "SATC" on-screen love Mr. Big. Noth, who faces some serious allegations amid the return of "And Just Like That," stands at 6 feet 1.5 inches tall, towering over Parker.
Closer to her own height is Parker's real-life husband, Matthew Broderick. The fellow actor, who married Parker in 1997, stands at just 5 feet 7 inches tall, per MD Daily Record. The A-list couple has shared many picture-perfect moments together, including when Parker celebrated their 20-year anniversary in 2017. "It flew by Baby," Parker captioned a throwback photo on Instagram of the then-newly married couple holding each other close. "Good golly I love you."
Parker and Broderick share three children together: daughters Marion and Tabitha, and son James. The couple's boy made a rare appearance in support of Parker at the "And Just Like That" premiere December 8, 2021, per Page Six. Parker's son, looking just like her bigger mini-me at the event, stands at about 5 feet 7 inches in height, according to News Unzip. Clearly Parker's height wasn't something she passed on!
How Sarah Jessica Parker adds to her height
Sarah Jessica Parker likely doesn't appear as short as she really is on screen due to her character's penchant for designer high heels. The actor famously exclaimed, "Hello lover!" as Carrie Bradshaw to a pair of stunning pumps while window shopping on "Sex And The City." Bradshaws' passion for footwear is well-known by fans, which prompted Parker to tease viewers ahead of "And Just Like That" with a relic from wardrobe. "Unearthed," Parker captioned an Instagram photo of a single Manolo Blahnik shoe. The photographed heel was partially damaged from an early episode of "SATC" in which Bradshaw's boyfriend's dog chews on the luxury shoe, according to Page Six Style.
Bradshaw's closet of shoes and iconic garments are something Parker holds dear — figuratively and literally, as Parker revealed to Vanity Fair that she kept nearly every piece of wardrobe from the series' original run. "I had all of the original stuff in my own storage," Parker dished. "Furniture, clothes, everything, packed according to season and episode and scene. I kept every single solitary thing."
