Sarah Jessica Parker mocked for her recent appearance at Met Gala

Sarah Jessica Parker is considered to be one of the most iconic names in entertainment history, but the star didn't spark very brightly at the 2018 Met Gala.

The 53-year-old attended the event, which took place on Monday, May 7, 2018, wearing a very peculiar golden outfit that was among the most unique ones of the night.

But, although her Dolce & Gabbana dress resembled a mixture of a cleric robe and a battle armor, especially across the chest area, her face stirred up quite a discussion on Twitter.

The actress has always been known for taking good care of herself, a trait that was shared by the most famous character she ever played - Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City.

But unlike Bradshaw, not everything can be solved by getting a new pair of expensive shoes. When the first photos of the Met Gala hit the internet, people immediately noticed that there was something odd about the actress.

Yet, among all the people who took a shot at the 53-year-old, there were a couple who stood up for her. Jackson Grey argued that Parker deserved to be respected because everyone becomes old at some point.

V. Del Rossi agreed that the actress might not be aging well, but she that she spread quite a lot of glamour even in her late 30s, and that she's still one of the most knowledgeable women when it comes to fashion.
