Actress sees ‘great despair’ if Mitt’s it
Sarah Jessica Parker
“I think there’s an enormous amount at stake, it concerns me,’’ said the “Sex and the City’’ star of the U.S. presidential election. She said she would be in “great despair’’ if President Barack Obama lost to Republican Mitt Romney in the Nov. 6 election.
Parker said she was speaking “for women in this country who rely upon social programs - not because they’re lazy, not because they don’t want to work hard, not because they feel entitled - but because they need access to basic health care that we all, the privileged few or many of us, sort of take for granted.’’
Parker was at the downtown event to present the Lord & Taylor Fashion Oracle Award to designer L’wren Scott, a celebrity favorite and staple of the red carpet.
Carolina Herrera won Fashion Group International’s top honor, the Superstar Award, presented by her longtime friend and client, Renee Zellweger.
“Every event is memorable because of what she brings to it and the gift of these gorgeous gowns to help celebrate the occasions,’’ said Zellweger.
Past recipients of the Superstar award include Donna Karan, Giorgio Armani, Valentino, Karl Lagerfeld and Oscar de la Renta.
Actress Viola Davis presented Nicola Maramotti of Italian fashion house MaxMara with the night’s Heritage Award. But the Academy Award nominee said she is by no means a fashionista.
