Lauren Santo Domingo in Nina Ricci
ORIGINAL ARTICLE: June 3, 2008 15:26 PM
NEW YORK, NY --
When the “Sex and The City” movie made its New York City premiere last week, Sarah Jessica Parker stunned fans in a floor length Nina Ricci strapless number.
The elegant gown, with a gold sash, was full of crinkly silver metallics that draped to the floor, and it was a one-of-a-kind gown Parker’s on-screen character Carrie Bradshaw would have approved of, except for one little thing – the dress had already been worn several times.
Parker told the New York Times she was disappointed to learn that her Nina Ricci gown had previously been worn by Lauren Santo Domingo to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala on May 5. And before that, the gown was worn by Lindsay Lohan in Harper’s Bazaar magazine this past March.
Nina Ricci’s camp offered no comment on the dress debacle, but Parker made her feelings known in the paper.
“My affection for the dress hasn’t changed,” Parker told the newspaper. “But what they did was so short-sighted. It’s just unethical and disappointing that they would allow the dress to be worn again.”
Parker said she tried on the dress under the eye of Olivier Theyskens, who was previously captured in photographs, escorting Santo Domingo and the dress down the red carpet.
During the fitting, the “SATC” actress said she told Theyskens she was surprised the dress had not been worn before, and she claims he assured her it had not.
“He didn’t say, ‘Well, actually I just escorted Lauren down the red carpet at the Met.’ " Parker said. “I just wish it had been handled differently and they had been straight about it.”
Mario Grauso, president of the fashion division at Puig, which owns Nina Ricci said Parker and her stylist had asked if the dress had been photographed, according to the Times. He also said there was not a reason to mention that Santo Domingo wore the dress.
“Is Lauren a celebrity? It depends on how you look at it,” he said.
