Sarah Jessica Parker is a 'realist' about her looks

Sarah Jessica Parker has said that worries about her looks are “wonderful problems”.

The Sex and the City star has been on the receiving end of some nasty comments about her appearance in the past. Because we’re nice, we’re not going to repeat all of them right now, but we’re giving you evils, Maxim (the kindly lads there decided to get their readers to vote for the ‘Unsexiest Woman Alive’, and in 2008, SJP ‘won’ the accolade).

At the time, she said it was “brutal”, and that it not only upset her, but her husband, Matthew Broderick. Now, she’s said that she worries more about her career and her family than the way she looks.

The 46-year-old fashion maven told Stella: “I try to dress appropriately for my age and I’m a realist about what I look like.

“But if those physical things were my insecurities I’d be thrilled. What wonderful problems."

Bigger fish to fry

"My insecurities are more substantial than that. I worry first and foremost about my children and their health. My husband, and his. I worry about what work opportunities will come up.”

Unlike other female celebrities her age we’d be very silly to mention, she isn’t keen on plastic surgery. She added: “There are women who feel that Botox is necessary, but more and more I don’t think it is important for the industry.”

What do you think? Do you think SJP looks great? Do you think it even matters if she doesn't look perfect? Tell us!

    I think she looks great! She's had no work done and if I look like that when I'm her age I'll count myself extremely lucky! If people want to pick at little details about her then it's probably covering up some of their own insecurities. After all, calling someone else 'un-sexy' doesn't make you any sexier..

    I've never really understood why people call her ugly, because she isn't. And she definitely isn't the "Unsexiest Woman Alive" ... that's just harsh

    She's not unsexy at all but she's not in the same league as some other Hollywood stars. If her husband finds her sexy then isn't that all that matters.

    I think everyone finds different people attractive, and hate to sound all 'sat on the fence' but if Maxim readers don't think she's nice then so what? Her husband clearly does. It's harsh though labelling someone 'unsexiest woman alive' though.

    Hmm it is mean what they say but I think she must be a very lucky person since she has no talent or looks and has made it!

    I wonder just how sexy the men who vote for these trashy magazine polls are themselves....

    @Dorna Agreed, but unfortunately this is not just the way lads' mags work, it's women's mags in general. The way women are treated over ageing and fattening up is brutal in "Western" culture. I don't want to be a cliche and say that's just the way things are, but...

    So she isn't the delicate-featured cliche...does that mean its ok to make cruel comments about her? How many of us normal women feel insecurity know that men are laughing at someone who isn't the perfect lads mag model? Because none of us are either so do we get ridiculed for not being able to look any better too? I know that the vote wasn't conducted among male models so who are they to criticise other normal average looking people? If she does nothing for you then why mention her at all?
