Sarah Jessica Parker You know in Cinderella, where the fairy godmother turns four lizards into footmen for the pumpkin-slash-coach? Am I right or am I right? I mean, look at the cute little footman-shoes! And the cameo necklace! Seriously, though, most partygoers interpreted ‘tech white tie’ as being in some way futuristic. Not Sarah Jessica Parker! No, she saw it as white knickerbockers and a frock coat. See what she did there? No, me neither. The organza cuffs look a tiny bit like she had a runny nose and put kitchen roll up her sleeves just in case.
