What do I know about fashion? I haven't bought new clothes in five years -- whenever I have money saved up, hello new pair of custom-made boots! or new blades! or more fleece! On Sunday, I was watching the 2008 MTV Movie Awards and saw Sarah Jessica Parker looking so cute in her skating outfit (see below) and thought this was a new fashion thing going around. I shouldn't be too surprised -- I heard that skating skirts are the new rage this season, so maybe I can start wearing them on the street...And no, her dress is not from her clothing line Bitten, it's by L'Wren Scott.
I subsequently found out that the lace up shoes/skates are by Christian Louboutin. So in fact, if you have an extra $1,000 lying around, the choice will have to be made whether to invest in Christian Louboutin shoes, or new skates. sigh...
By the way, did anyone else see the show? My favorite part was the opening when Mike Myers had the dance-off with R&B star Chris Brown a la West Side Story. (watch Clip #2) Myers held his own, he can dance!
Yes, hilarious with Myers and Brown. I didn't know they had the whole show on video so thanks for the heads up. I watched it again.

Oh how funny, SJP is wearing the sexiest skating dress. That was a turtleneck too. I just wish the boots were tan colored.

Love SJP - she can do no wrong. Look! She's even on a skating website!!! Memba that episode where her much younger boyfriend took her skating and she had a cig in her hand? Loved it.

I liked when Tom Cruise presented the award to Adam Sandler. But the Mike Myers dance contest was a close second.

Love the dress! I watched the video for the first time and it was hilarious! Thanks Susan!

Too bad she didn't pair them with one of those skating skirts you blogged about last week...would have really completed the outfit

Excellent observation! I didn't think this at the time, but you are right, those definitely look like skating boots w/ heels. I think I'll pick up a pair. The only thing that would have been better is if Mike Myers had worn them for the dance-off. :)
