At 59, Sarah Jessica Parker Continues To Glow The Natural Way

49

Whatever you thought about And Just Like That, the Sex and the City reboot that just got renewed for another season, you probably appreciated Sarah Jessica Parker’s luminous skin and next-level hair in each episode. She’s a Manhattan legend, but SJP’s look has always been fresh and natural, with a bohemian California-girl touch.

She has her beauty signatures down. From the ’90s to today, her natural curls have always been enviable, and on and off screen, she has long favored soft and smoky make-up to gently frame her blue-green eyes. As she’s gotten older, she has embraced her natural skin and focused on boosting radiance, rather than attempting to eliminate fine lines with the help of injectables.

Gray hair has not been a problem, either–Parker and her longtime colorist, Gina Gilbert, work with her silver strands rather than against them, adapting her famous beachy balayage blonde according to her natural gray growth. Her hair is a masterclass on how to segue into gray in an ultra-chic way.

As she turns 59, Vogue takes a look back at some of her best beauty moments.
