Sarah Jessica Parker looks typically stylish in a polka dot coat as she ... trends now

Sarah Jessica Parker looked typically stylish as she stepped out in the West Village, New York City on Thursday. 

The Sex And The City star, 59, wore a polka dot trench coat as she strolled through her neighbourhood to pick up a pizza and some ice cream from L'industrie Pizzeria. 

She teamed her chic black and white jacket with smart trousers, that featured piping down the sides and a shirt. 

Sarah added a pop of colour to her look with some hot pink heels and carried a graphic printed tote bag. 

Pulling her long hair back into a sleek bun, she shielded her eyes with sunglasses and popped on some head phones. 

Sarah recently revealed her daughters can eat as much cake and cookies as they desire, after it was banned in her house as a child.

The actress, who shares twin daughters Tabitha and Marion, 14, and son James Wilkie, 21, with her husband Matthew Broderick, has said it’s important to her that her daughters have a healthy relationship with food.

Speaking to River Cafe owner Ruth Rogers’s Ruthie’s Tabel 4 podcast, Sarah said: 'When I had girls, I didn't want them to have a relationship with food that was antagonistic and to see it as an enemy.

'When I was growing up we weren’t allowed sugar in the house or chocolate or cookies.

'So of course, the minute we moved out we all bought a load of cakes and cookies, and I didn’t want that for them.

'In our house we have cookies, we have cake, we have everything, and as a result you have a better relationship.

'And my daughters will have the figures they have and hopefully they’ll be healthy. And they’re athletes and they enjoy food and have different pallets.

'I hope that they can maintain their affection for the experience and their delight in taste.'
