We called it over a month ago: The humble ribbon is the biggest thing in hair right now. Fashion superstar and longtime New York City Ballet supporter Sarah Jessica Parker took this trend exactly where we it deserved to be flaunted tonight—the New York City Ballet’s 2023 Fall Gala red carpet, Black Swan style. Or maybe she identifies more as the rebel Eva from Center Stage?
Dressed in a demurely dark Wes Gordon design from Carolina Herrera’s fall/winter 2023 ready-to-wear collection, her accessories included a pair of mismatched SJP Collection shoes, Fred Leighton jewelry, and an oversized floor-skimming black bow. Parker is known for her love of grosgrain ribbon (it’s the signature material for her shoe collection), so that’s what our money is on for the ribbon type.
The finishing touch for her look was short black nails. A favorite of Olivia Rodrigo (who wore something similar on the cover of her recent album, Guts) and Diane Keaton, the manicure of the moment meets the hair trend of the moment on Parker.
And all we can say is… when it comes to this look, the more trends, the better.
