'I'd fry an egg with Rihanna anytime!': Sarah Jessica Parker jokes about her Met Ball meme as she shows off bangs in Harper's Bazaar

Sarah Jessica Parker has finally addressed her Met Gala headpiece in the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

The 50-year-old ageless beauty was ridiculed for wearing what appeared to be a ball of flames on her head when she stepped on the carpet for the NYC fashion event. Parker's 'hat' was later turned into a meme depicting Rihanna's yellow gown being fried like an egg over Parker's head.

'My son was like, "Mom, you’re a meme," I didn’t know what a meme was!' the Sex And The City star said. 'I never got far enough from the headpiece to get that it would be seen as flames. I would have an egg with [Rihanna] anytime.'

Parker also discussed living in the public eye with her husband of 18 years, 53-year-old Matthew Broderick.

In the 1980s Broderick was known as the charming and boyishly handsome Ferris Bueller, while Parker starred in Square Pegs as Patty Greene, an awkward unpopular nerd.

The famous couple has come a long way and Sarah  but feels more in the spotlight now than ever before.

'My husband and I are genuinely surprised that we feel more public now than we have ever felt.'

'It’s social media. Of course, when you work in TV or film, there is a familiarity, so you reconcile that,' Parker explained. 

'But the show has been off the air a long time now. You are not ever alone. You are not ever, ever, ever, ever alone.'

Although she's not a New York native, Parker encompasses the energy and brilliance of New York City and talked about her love for the Big Apple.

'I love the city. I love everything it has to offer. I think that my children are so lucky to be raised here.

'I love the subway, I love hailing a cab, I love traffic and people and all of the possibilities,' she said. 'I believe in all of that still.'

The Sex and the City star is known for her love of fashion and in February 2014 Parker started the a footwear line named the SJP Collection at Nordstrom.

However Page Six reported that while promoting her shoe collection Parker angered many neighbors of the West Village townhouse that was Carrie Bradshaw’s home in Sex and the City.

After years of tourists streaming past and photographing the address made famous by the HBO show the fed-up residents installed a metal chain across the steps that reads, 'Do NOT go on staircase please.'

But apparently Sarah ignored the sign and took an unauthorized photo shoot on the storied stoop for her glamorous shoe line. 

SJP posted Instagram pictures of herself leaning over the chain to place shoes from her SJP Collection on the famous NY steps, then posing on the stoop alongside her glamorous shoes and underneath a black hat. 

Covered underneath a black hat she wrote, 'It was take your @sjpcollection shoes to work day. #longdayforCarrie #whewwwwthosesteps #runninginheels #taxi!'
