As Carrie Bradshaw once said, "There is a time of year in New York when, even before the first leaf falls, you can feel the seasons click."

The season called for a night at the ballet on Wednesday evening, and Sarah Jessica Parker lit up the Lincoln Center as she attended the New York City Ballet's 2024 Fall Gala.

The Sex And The City star, 59, looked phenomenal in a silver tulle gown reminiscent of a scene from The Nutcracker. Her mesmerizing metallic dress featured several layers of frothy tulle emblazoned with oversized silver roses, wrapping around her feminine silhouette.

The actress, who is married to Matthew Broderick, swept her caramel blonde hair into a dramatic swishing ponytail. She elevated her beauty glow with her signature smokey eye and feline lashes, adding a frosted blue eyeshadow to enhance her angelic blue eyes.

The star's mind-blowing white diamond engagement ring - which is estimated to be around $600k - took centre stage as it twinkled under the lights.

It's not the first time SJP has dazzled at the ballet. Last fall, the star attended the New York City Ballet’s 2023 Fall Gala with her husband, making a rare red carpet appearance together.

The skirt echoed the aesthetic of SATC's Carrie's classic pink ballet-inspired outfit from the show's iconic opening credits. Sarah gave the look her own edgy twist, wearing an oversized black satin bow in her hair.

Ballet has long held a special place in Sarah's heart, with the actress acting as a board member for the New York City Ballet.

In the early 2000s, the Hollywood icon produced a docuseries called city.ballet showcasing the work of New York's classically trained dancers.

"Our great aim is to paint a portrait of the incredible dedication and commitment and sacrifice that’s required in this unusual vocation, and how interesting and complex these people’s lives are. They’re complete, full people - they’re smart and thoughtful and curious, great athletes and great thinkers, lovers of culture and music and math. It’s a big risk on their part, so I’m thrilled that they allowed us this kind of access into their lives," Sarah said of the ballerinas in the documentary.
