Fashion: Sarah Jessica Parker's China Tour

If you think only the royals can go on a tour wearing pretty dresses, well, think again.

SJP makes her winning red carpet streaks in China, promoting the Artistry on Ice, and get invited to events and talkshows (of course) along the ways. I mean, if you got a big star in your country. Better make good use of'em right?

Whatever. Anyway, lets talk about her dresses here. She started it off with something soft, something feminine, something.... Elie Saab.

That's one heavy dress to pull off, isn't it? I love the dress but I'm not sure if I love it with the jacket. The dress have enough detailing already and the jacket is just adding to the heaviness of this look. And to be honest, I don't love the jacket that much anyway. The sheer sleeves is making her hand look fungi-infected.

Whatever it is, we're talkin' SJP here. Of course she'll wear the dress with the jacket. But, what I noticed, though, she have been covering her arms a lot lately - with jackets and blazers. I don't blame her though. Maybe it have something to do with her getting older and trying something more age-appropriate. But still, the jacket is too heavy to go with the dress. A simple white blazer with some flower-print textures on it might look good as it can compliment the feminine-ness of the dress. Moving on.

Super love this one. Love the rich color on her. I have no complaint of the dress. I love the color, the textures, the design. Her makeup looks perfect. But one thing that really bothers me is her necklace. I wonder if she looked into the mirror in the last minute before stepping out of the car and was like "Maybe this necklace is too much of a statement....." but she didn't have time to untie it so she just slipped it into her dress.

Or maybe she just didn't notice that her necklace is slipping into her dress. Anyway. Moving on.

Fierce heels! I didn't noticed it in the Mary Mcfadden pic because I can't really see it. Now that I've seen it, I super love it. Love the contrasting clutch too. So as far as accessories are concerned, she's doing quite well.

Do have some issues with the dress though.

I don't have any problem if she wanted to wear minis or sleeveless dresses because as far as I can see, she still have the body (and legs) to pull it off. Plus, it have some nice interesting print on it. But, sleeveless, short skirt and V-neck do spells 'Hollywood young famewhores' quite a bit. Adding to that is her super big hair and the shape of the dress that clinches to her waist. So... you get my idea right?

This dress is not so..... age-appropriate. I'M SORRY SJP!!

I don't mean that every agely woman should wear a baggy, shapeless, long dress. It's just that if you put all the elements together, it became a little age-inappropriate. If she ditches one of the element, say, the V-neck, and make it a sweetheart or square neckline, then maybe she can work this look. Moving on.

She looks gorgeous as always (adore your hair, SJP!) but this is kinda boring. It's like a simple white dress with curtain.
