Actress Sarah Jessica Parker has brought her signature New York charm to a festive new advertisement for Google, looking remarkably youthful at the age of 60. The commercial, released as the holiday season hits full swing, features the Sex and the City alum strolling through a wintery Manhattan before shopping for a party outfit via a Google smartphone from her opulent home.
A Snowy New York Backdrop
The clip, uploaded to Instagram on Wednesday, opens with Parker walking along a picturesque, snow-lined street with Christmas music setting the scene. Dressed in a chic ensemble featuring a grey H&M peplum top, a polka-dot skirt, and a dark green coat, she flashes a cheerful smile. Her voiceover notes, 'There's something about this time of year, when it feels like the whole city dresses up just for you.' The scene captures the quintessential festive spirit of New York, complete with glowing tree lights and vendors selling roasted nuts.
From Townhouse to Taxi
The advertisement then cuts to a scene filmed inside what appears to be Parker's own lavish New York City townhouse, valued at an estimated $34.5 million. Seated before a grand bookcase, she uses a Google phone to search for a 'classic holiday New York City vibe' outfit. She selects a figure-hugging black dress adorned with glittering bow details, trying it on with silver pumps in her spacious living room.
The narrative comes full circle as Parker, now wearing the new dress, steps back out into the bustling city. 'Funny how the city dresses up and helps you do the same,' she muses, hailing a classic yellow taxi to head to a party. The ad concludes with the tagline: 'Shopping for your holiday vibe? Just ask Google.'
Parker on Beauty and Ageing
Alongside showcasing the tech, the advert highlights Parker's enduring style and radiant appearance. This comes after the actress has previously shared her candid philosophy on beauty and growing older. In a 2023 interview with Allure, she stated she prefers to be 'graceful' with herself, acknowledging the consequences of age while not obsessing over her appearance.
Parker revealed her skincare routine is simple, often limited to serum and moisturiser with SPF. While she is 'not opposed' to cosmetic procedures, she avoids Botox to maintain full facial expression for acting. She has, however, tried treatments like Sofwave for fine lines and occasional glycolic peels.
The star's latest venture coincides with news that her HBO series, And Just Like That, a Sex and the City revival, will conclude after its upcoming third season. Parker, who is married to actor Matthew Broderick and is a mother of three, continues to be a defining icon of New York style and resilience.
