VIDEO: Sarah Jessica Parker on Carrie Bradshaw’s Wardrobe and Working With Husband Matthew Broderick

If you’re a Sarah Jessica Parker fan looking for a selfie with the acclaimed actress and fashion icon, you just might get something even better than you imagined. During her return to the Stern Show Monday morning, the “And Just Like That…” star told Howard she enjoys chatting with her fans more than posing with them for a quick photo, which can be impersonal.

“We’re going to have a conversation, and I guarantee you it’s going to be so much more meaningful than a picture,” Parker remembered telling one group of fans she met recently at the airport. “[Then] we came back, and we talked to everybody at the table.”

Having just kicked off the third season of “And Just Like That…” — the sequel to her hit HBO series “Sex and the City” — Parker also spoke in detail about her trailblazing character Carrie Bradshaw, a writer known both for her wit and her wardrobe. As Sarah explained, Carrie’s fashion sense has always been an iconic centerpiece of the franchise, and a lot of work goes into getting the fashion just right. “There could be as many as 20 to 30 [outfit] changes per episode, so what happens is I carve out time within a shooting schedule,” she revealed. “Sometimes it’s on my lunch break, and I know that I’m not in the next scene … [Or] we’ll wrap at 11 at night and I’ll run to the wardrobe department … and I’ll fit for two-and-a-half hours.”

“It takes time. You have to think about jewelry, bags, shoes, belt, hats, coats, gloves, galoshes, umbrella, backpack, briefcase … and it can’t be in conflict,” Parker explained of the painstaking process. “It sounds rather simple to pull from a bunch of racks and trays, but if you care and you’re being thoughtful, and you’re trying to tell a story from episode one to episode 12, you’re laying in all this stuff.”

“You want it to all look seamless and you want it to appear as if none of it took effort and none of it was hard … We’re incredibly vigilant about every single solitary detail,” the star added. “Every tableau, every frame — [executive producer] Michael Patrick [King] and I will talk about every single thing in the background of a shot … all of it matters.”

And, while Parker has never been one to request candles and flowers in the dressing room as part of her contract, her lawyer long ago insisted one perk always be included. “He just said, ‘Have it in your contract that you keep every single thing you wear,” she noted. “Some of the older studios really want to have it for their archive, and they make a really good argument, but when it came time to do ‘Sex and the City’ it was in my contract, and I have every single thing.”

Sarah also has her husband, actor Matthew Broderick, whom she has been with for 33 years. While the screen and stage star never appeared on any of his wife’s TV shows, Howard heard that Broderick was once offered a part on “Sex and the City” but politely declined. “They offered him the role of the premature ejaculator?” Howard asked.

“Yes,” Sarah laughed. “He wisely said no.”

“It was full-court press,” Parker continued, explaining how the series co-creator went to great lengths to woo her husband. “Michael called [Matthew] himself … He really pleaded the case before the court, and Matthew was like, ‘Absolutely not.’”

The couple did get the opportunity work onstage together in London and on Broadway a few years back while starring together in the revival of Neil Simon’s “Plaza Suite.” “It was honestly one of the greatest experiences of my entire life. We were so happy,” Sarah told Howard. “It was an enormously happy [and] hard but deeply satisfying time.”

“And Just Like That…” airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on Max.
