Chic in the city! Sarah Jessica Parker shows off her long legs in a patterned dress as she steps out for TV appearance

She's best known for playing style-savvy columnist Carrie Bradshaw in Sex And The City.

And Sarah Jessica Parker was back in her old haunts on Thursday as she stepped out in New York City's Upper East Side, gearing up for an appearance on the TODAY show.

The 50-year-old actress looked lovely as ever in a pretty, patterned dress with bright blue panels on the sleeves and the hem.

Sarah's sophisticated number featured long sleeves and a nipped in waist, with an A-line skirt flattering her slender frame.

She looked effortlessly chic as she strolled down the street, swinging her leather handbag in one hand.

The fashionista complemented her outfit with a glittering pair of mermaid heels and silver jewellery, wearing her long tresses down in perfect curls.

Nab iridescent shoes like SJP

SJP headed to NBC for an interview on The Today Show showing off her quirky style yet again. This time, she opted for pretty long-sleeve blue printed dress, a black leather bucket bag and a pair of teal iridescent shoes. We are especially taken with the shoes.

Shoe trends are increasingly complicated thanks to designers like Sophia Webster clashing colors and material. Today, shoes must have interest.

What draws your attention to SJP's shoes is the metallic fabric which seems to change color depending on your perspective.

The shoes are, of course, SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker and the good news is that they're widely available online. Just head to Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom or Zappos to snatch up a pair. Or click right to buy them at NM's boutique concept Cusp.

Ahead of her action-packed NYFW schedule, Sarah stopped off at NBC News' TODAY show for an interview with Matt Lauer.

The star, who has branched out into footwear design, discussed her new TV show Divorce but remained coy about the possibility of a third Sex And The City film.

Quizzed whether she would be reuniting with Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon for one final big screen outing, Sarah admitted, 'there is no decision'.

She added: 'There is a story. When and if we tell it remains unknown.' 

This comes after Seth Rudetsky, who recently starred with Sarah and her husband Matthew Broderick in a Massachusetts-based play, revealed the actress had openly discussed the possibility of making another movie.

He told Playbill.com: ''She told us that there may be a project coming up involving all the ladies.'

The actor also revealed that SJP had told him she initially tried everything she could to get out of her Sex And The City contract after making the pilot, before falling in love with the series.
